The earthly career of Mr. Henry Barbour ended on New Year's day. Mrs. Barbour had been failing through many months, and it was known for weeks that the end was near. Mary Anna Wentch, as she was known in girlhood, was born in Wakeman, Ohio, July 21, 1854. In the fall of that year her parents, Peter and Barbara Reitter Wentch, moved to the Wolf creek valley in this county and lived for two and one-half years upon the Clark farm. In the spring of 1857, they located nearby upon the prairie farm, which became the home of the Wentch family. There on January 22, 1874, deceased was married to Henry Barbour and for more than thirty years this worthy couple made their home on the Barbour homestead, a mile east of Traer. Three children came to bless their union, all of whom survive their mother: Alice Katherine, wife of Dr. J. A. Pinkerton, of Waterloo, Iowa; Lucien Case, of Plainview, Nebraska; and Waite Garrett, of Laurel, Nebraska. Five years ago, the failing health of Mrs. Barbour compelled the Barbours to give up farm life and they moved to their present home on East Second street, Traer. Mrs. Barbour was a typical representative of the girls in the pioneer homes on the prairies of Iowa. Trained in her youth to be helpful, she gave her mature years in tireless devotion to her family and to all who came into touch with her home. She became a member of the Congregational church in 1868 and had ever a sympathetic interest in the upbuilding of the better side of community life. A patient sufferer from an incurable disease through many months, she met the final summons with the fortitude and trust that became the Christian faith . Funeral services w ere held at the home Monday, January 3, at 4 o 'clock, and she was laid to rest in the West Union cemetery. The highest tribute to Mrs. Barbour's memory is the universal consciousness of the people of this community.
