GRANDPA BARGE DEAD
He Died Monday and Was Buried Tuesday Forenoon
Funeral at the House
Grandpa Barge died Monday at his home in Henpeck at 2 a.m. after a lingering illness of some time of heart disease.
The funeral was held Tuesday forenoon at 10:30 at the house, Reverend Hickman officiating and the body was buried here.
Robert Taylor Barge was born February 4th, 1837, at Cardington, Ohio, and died July 18th, 1904 aged sixty-seven years, five months and fourteen days.
Deceased was married to Louisa J. Herrod in November 1858. To them two children were born, a son and daughter, the son dying in Atchison, Kansas fifteen years ago, the daughter being Mrs. Charles J. Kuester, of this place. Mr. Barge lived on the farm where he was born for fifty years, them moved to Kansas where he lived nine years before coming here.
At the call for volunteers in 1861, he enlisted in the 96th Ohio volunteer infantry and served four years or until the close of the war and until recently received a pension of $6 per month. About four months ago he applied for an increase which had been granted just before he took down with his last sickness.
Besides his wife and daughter and five grandchildren, he leaves a sister and brother in Ohio to mourn.
Although set in his ways there was never a better hearted man than Grandpa Barge, as he came to be called. To the wife who through four years of war prayed and longed for his return and who for forty-six years has been his companion, his death brings a sadness that she alone can know and the NEWS joins the friends of the family in extending their deepest sympathy.
