MARY COVENTRY BARKER
MRS. MARY BARKER, ONE OF CITY'S OLDEST RESIDENTS, DEAD
WIDOW OF LATE COUNTY JUDGE G.W. BARKER, WAS PIONEER SETTLER OF COUNTY-
WOULD HAVE BEEN 91 TODAY
Mrs. Mary Barker, widow of the late County Judge G.W. Barker, one of
the oldest residents of the city, a pioneer settler and one who in
early days was prominent in social affairs, died Sunday, death coming
peacefully as result of infirmities incident to age. Had Mrs. Barker
live until today she would have been 91 years of age.
A native of England, Mrs. Barker was born in that country March 16, 1823,
coming to Manitowoc county in 1855 or '56 and since that time she had been
a continuous resident here. Mrs. Barker had been twice married, her first
husband, Washington Goodnow, having been one of the prominent early day
business men of the city, owning the large store on the site of what is
now the new Dempsey block. Mr. Goodnow died in 1863 and his widow later
married G.W. Barker, who served as county judge in the late 60's and whose
death occurred in 1876.
Mrs. Barker came here from Pennsylvania where her parents located upon
emigrating to America, and where her girlhood was passed. She was well
known among earlier residents of the country and was a woman who commanded
the love and esteem of a large circle of friends. After the death of her
husband, Mrs. Barker had made her home at Fifth and Chicago streets until
two months ago when she was removed to the county hospital where she was
cared for. Up until very recently Mrs. Barker had apparently enjoyed good
health but a lonely life which she led had affected her mind and it was
deemed a mercy to have her cared for.
Mrs. Barker is survived by no children, though she has several sisters and
brothers residing in the East, one of whom is expected to arrive here
tomorrow to take charge of the body which will probably be buried in this
city. Funeral arrangements have not been made pending the arrival of
relatives.
