Mrs. Loretta BARNHART, 56, wife of Congressman Henry A. BARNHART died at 10:10 o'clock Thursday morning at the home on south Main street after 12 weeks of suffering. Mr. Barnhart, the two sons, Mrs. Henry BAILEY of Peru, a foster daughter, and other relatives were with her when the end came.
Mrs. Barnhart had been in ill-health for the past two years but did not develop any serious smptoms until last May, when she was removed to a hospital at Baltimore where a specialist diagnosed the case as an enlarged thyroid gland and a heart lesion. Several weeks later at her earnest request, she was removed to the Rochester home where for a short time it was thought that she was on the road to recovery, but, soon relapsed. On being consulted, a Chicago specialist Sunday held out but little hope and other doctors assisted, but in vain.
Mrs. Loretta Barnhart [Loretta LEFFEL] was born in Cass county near Twelve Mile,
September 7, 1860, the daughter of Arthur and Nancy LEFFEL. She was one of seven children, three of whom survive, Edward [LEFFEL] and William LEFFEL of near Twelve Mile and Wheeler LEFFEL of Logansport. On February 17, 1881, Mr. and Mrs. Barnhart were married. They were the parents of three children, two of whom are living, Dean Leffel BARNHART of Rochester and Hugh Arthur BARNHART of Indianapolis. A son died in infancy. At the death of one of her sisters, the Barnharts took Glen HOWELL, an infant daughter, who remained with them until her marriage to Henry BAILEY of Peru. There are two grandchildren, Mary Louise BARNHART and Jane BAILEY.
Shortly after their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Barnhart moved to a Fulton county farm near Mt. Olive where they lived until in March 1885 when Mr. Barnhart became the county surveyor. Then they moved to Rochester where they have since resided.
Since her conversion in the Baptist church, February 17, 1895, Mrs. Barnhart with the exception of the winters during which she resided in Washington, D.C., took a deep interest in the work of the organization and was active in many other ways.
Funeral Saturday afternoon at two o'clock at the house, Rev. G. C. CHANDLER of the Baptist church in charge, interment at the mausoleum.
