Traer Star Clipper, Friday, March 28th, 1919 – page 1
The whole city was shocked Sunday morning by the news that Henry Barbour had passed away. He fell dead upon the pavement near his home while on the way to the post office. He had been in his usual health, in fact few knew that he was not in perfect health He had suffered from diabetes the past year or two, but one would not notice It and he never complained. Evidently his heart was also impaired. For more than sixty years. Henry Barbour has been a familiar and popular character in the Traer neighborhood.
He was born in Ohio in 1850, and his parents came to north Tama in 1858. They located first in the village of West Union, where the father worked at the shoemaker's trade a year or two. They then bought land in Geneseo township, occupying it several years. In 1863 they purchased the land known ever since as the Barbour homestead and lived there many years. After the death of the parents the farm became the property of Henry, who held it until bought by Mike Kennedy a few years ago. Mr. Barbour married Mary Wentch in 1874, who died in 1910. in 1911 he married Sarah Grubbs, who survives, together with three of his children— Mrs. Alice Pinkerton, Traer, Lucien and Waite, bankers, of Brunswick, Nebraska, also one brother, Ovid, in Kansas, and one sister, Mrs. George Stoakes Sr., near Traer.
We cannot recall a man who had fewer faults than Henry Barbour. He was a man with a big heart which always beat in sympathy with the better things of life. He was always genial, kind and sympathetic. In early days the Barbour family were among the first in all activities, particularly in the church and society. The father was chorister in old Buckingham, Henry was a member of the choir and Ovid a brother, was organist. Both played in the band many years. Music was a s natural to the Barbour family as is to a family of birds. Henry became a member of the church in 1890 but owing to partial deafness has not been active in late years. The beauty of his character, the sunlight of ills life, his intense devotion to home and children gave him a warm place in the hearts of the entire community. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. A. W. Miles at the home Tuesday afternoon and despite the rain there was a very liberal attendance. Burial was West Union.
