James Barry, miner, came to Iron County in 1917 from the Vulcan area when the mines gave out. He first moved to Stambaugh and then to Bates Location. He and his wife, the former Mary Agnes Oberthaler, had seven children, John Henry, Agnes, Margaret, Omer, Earl, Clement and LaVerne.
James was the son of Mr. and Mrs. James Barry, who immigrated to the Upper Peninsula from Ireland via Canada in 1859. His brothers were John and Tim, former Superintendent of Dickinson County Schools, a well known coach and referee in Iron County; and sisters Mary Rossi and Gertrude Smith.

James and Mary were faithful church members in St. Agnes Parish, and every Sunday walked from the location to church with their family. The boys had jobs to help support the family income-farm work and trapping. Money was scarce for James, but he was always smiling and happy-go-lucky. He had many friends. James was killed in a shaft accident at the mine in 1936. After his death Mary worked in the cafeteria in the Duluth Mills, and later as a cook in Arnell's Restaurant.
James and Mary's son John Henry worked in the Zimmerman Mine as a pumpman and as a miner in the Homer Mine. He was killed in a stope in the Homer Mine. He married Hazel Nyren and they had two children, Grace and James.
