Died:
BLAKENEY NEWS
Another aged and highly respected resident of the community passed away on Monday evening, in the person of Mr Jas Barker, sr., after about four months of suffering from cancer of the stomach. Deceased who was the only son of the late Wm Barker, was born in Ramsay township nearly 83 years ago, on the farm upon which he died, but spent his early boyhood and until he was married on the farm on the eighth line now owned by his son, Mr R. Barker. In 1855 he was married to Joann Hood, who was born in Scotland, and had come to Canada. After their marriage they went to the farm upon both spent the balance of their lives, her death taking place in 1874. This union was blessed with a family of nine children., two of whom died in infancy. those who are now living are William in Almonte; James at Blakeney; Robert near Bennie's Corners; Alex on the homestead; Maggie (Mrs Arthur Beach) at Nokomis, Sask; David and Neil at Seattle, Wash. Some time after the death of his first wife Mr. Barker was married to Agnes Wood, a daughter of the late Walter Y Wood, who is still living. There were no children to the second marriage. A sister Mrs Wm Conner of Carleton Place, also survives. The late Mr Barker was possessed of more than ordinary energy and progressiveness, and as a consequence was one of Ramsay township's most prosperous farmers.
Evidence of his thrift and thoroughness was to be seen all over his farm, and many a traveller along the ninth line had looked with admiration at the splendid fields of waving grain which were the result of his up-to-date methods and his thorough application of them. in this connection he was crop-viewer for the township for a number years and was connected with the N.L.A.S., latterly as Honourary director, so long and so actively that when failing energy prevented him from being on duty at the fair, his presence and assistance were much missed. he was also a member of township council for some years, and here is fine, executive ability and good judgement were of much value, especially in the roads and bridge department. He was also active in church matters, and took a deep interest in the Presbyterian church of Blakeney, of which he was a member, and in fact was one of the few to whose earnestness and energy, the existence of the church was due. For many years he was a member of the managing committee, and was also a leader of the choir in his earlier years. he was one of those who was instrumental in the organization of the Rosebank cheese factory, and for some time its energetic president. the funeral took place today, Thursday, to the eighth line cemetery, and was a fitting tribute to the memory of so old and useful a member of the community as Mr Barker was. the services were conducted at the home and the grave by Rev Mr Merrilees of Blakeney.
