"HARRY P. BARKER DEAD.
His many friends in Carrollton were shocked when the news reached here Tuesday evening that Harry P. Barker had shot and killed himself at the home of his brother-in-law, John Hammond, 1446 West Congress street, Chicago, Ill.
Deceased was born in Carrollton about 31 years ago. He was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Lucien Barker. He was raised here and graduated from the Carroll High School in the class of 1897. He learned telegraphy and for a time was employed as an operator at the Wabash depot. He afterwards became the Wabash agent at O'Fallon, Mo., and it was there that he wooed and won his wife, Miss Maud Bramblett. He afterward became disatisfied (sic) with his work and decided to study dentistry. He graduated from the Washington University in St. Louis last June and located in Essex, Mo., for the practice of his profession. About the first of the year he visited his brother John Barker, at La Plata, at which time he complained of pains in his back and seemed to be depressed in spirit. He went from there to Chicago to visit his mother and sister and it was while there that his untimely death occured. As none of the relatives from Chicago accompanied the remains no further particulars were obtainable.
The body was shipped here from Chicago for burial. His wife and brother John, came in Wednesday morning. Rev. F. J. Mapel conducted a brief funeral service in the chapel of Willis & Sons' undertaking rooms Wednesday afternoon at 4 0'clock, after which the body was interred at Oak Hill Cemetery.
Harry Barker was a boy who was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him here were his friends and his sad death is deeply regreeted (sic) by many. He leaves a wife and a two year old daughter, who have the sympathy of the good people of Carrollton in their great berevement (sic)."
