OBITUARY Intelligence reaches us Of the
oath of Hon. GEORGE W BARKER, formerly
o this town. lie died at Manitowoc, Wis
cnsin, on the 9TH instant, in the 10th year Of
hs age. Sorapidy does our population change
tat many will fail TO recall the name yet our
oder residents will feel their memories stirred
b this announoement--for Mr.. Barker was
fr many years an honored citizen Formerly
aresident Of Barre, he came to Montpelier as
erly as 1920, for we learn that at the dedica-
ton Of the Brick church, in thai year, in com
pny with Mr. Zenas Wood, he sang the bass
the dedicatory anthem. For some twelve OF
lurteen years Mr. b. was connected with the
seriif department, and for three years be.
ginning with 1874, was high sheriff Of the
ounty lie was also Postmaster for Mont
plier, under the administration of Mr.. Van
luren, we believe. Near 1850 Mr. Barker re-
moved to the State Of New York, where he had
nilroad construction contracts, (the Rutland
Washington, among others) Some twelve
ears ago he became a resident Of Manitowoc
vhere be has since followed railroad building
omewhat extensively. Here he also served a,
county Judge for several years All these
rusts we believe he discharged with commend
bile fidelity.
Twice was Mr.. Barker married, and widow
urviyes him. Only ole child-a son--was the
ruit of these marriages, who died at the age
q about fifteen years.
