shoemaking trade. After couple of
years service shift was made where the
boy was enabled to earn sufficient money
to attend school three months. From
the close of his three months schooling
till he became OF age he received So per
month as clerk in store.
Two months of work on farm, after
attaining his majority, at Sl2 per month,
enabled him to seek the coveted west.
He arrived in Detroit, about the last Of
September, 1888, with but a five franc"
piece in his pocket. He came to Dexter
with Sl00 secured from an acquaintance
at annual interest of If per cent. With
this, so acres of land was purchased of
the government, and in order to secure
funds for operating his farm he eagerly
accepted an offer to cut rails at 80 cents
per 100. He soon became an adept at
working in wool, and an expert in rive
ing oak shingles and roofing the numer-
Gus log residences of the early settlers.
His so acres were soon paid for and
sold at an advanced price, with which
he purchased 100 acres. Only a few
more months rolled around before 10
acres were cleared, log cabin built and
Miss Harriet y. Wines accepted his offer
of marriage, and on February |. 1888,
the young couple took possession of this
cabin with as much Joy as If it had been
palace.
A year later he borrowed 500 at is
per cent interest with which he purchas-
ed stock of leather and shoemaking
tools and within three years had II en-
ployes making shoes.
His keen foresight then suggested
success in handling a stock of general
merchandise, and he faced the wholesale
dealers of New York city empty handed.
He was trusted with large stock. This
business was carried on for 90 years with
annual sales of $50, 900 and more. He is
now enjoying, with unimpaired faculties,
the fruits of his years of toll. Others
have also partaken largely, especially
benevolent societies. For many years
his donations to the Home Missionary
society and other organizations of the
church have counted up into the thous-
ands of dollars.
He has been deacon in the Congre.
gational church continuously beyond the
memory of most of the oldest inhabi-
tants, and is regular attendant of
church services in a building which was
built largely with his money. Generous
thus in the bestowal of thousands. he is
economical to the penny. the result of
the habits that he had formed in his
youth.

ANOTHER PIONEER GONE.
}. j. Barber One of the Earliest Settlers
of Lancaster, Dead.

Died-in the city Of Lancaster Febru-
airy l4th. 1895. John Jay Barber aged
SO years.
Mr.. Barber was born in Georgia,
Franklin County. Vermont, January
II, 1907. He belonged to vigorous
New England Stock and was member
of family that has exerted a marked
and at times controlling influence
on the business. political, and social
life of Lancaster.
Mr.. Barber lived in his native state
until 1915 when he came to Lancaster
and resided here ever since until his
death. For fifty years he has been a
citizen of Grant County and has had a
part in its growth and development
from wild, sparsely settled region to
its present wealthy and highly Guilt
waited state.
Mr.. Barber was married in 1912 to
Lucy Ann Phelps, still living, who
also belongs to a family who were
among the earliest and best known
settlers of this vicinity. Three child
rem were born to Mr.. and Mrs. Barber
DR.. A. H. Barber at present living at
Waukesha. Mrs. Nellie Durand of
Lancaster aud Mrs. Lon. Tomlinson
of Usage Iowa. Mr.. Barber had four
brothers, Jiles A, Alexander H., ,l.4l
Allen and Theo. NJ. and three sisErs
whose married names were Mrs. Sncx-
man, Mrs. Burr and Mrs. Laid. Of
these only two are living Theo. M. Bar
Der and Mrs A. Burr, both Of Lancas-
ter.
Mr., Barber followed farming until a
few years ago, when he retired and lived
his last days in town. In politics he
was democrat during the later years
of his life. though he was during the
war and after up to 1872 republican
and before that was whig. Though
not an active politician in the usual
sense of the word. he was strong in
his political beliefs and ardent in his
advocacy of them. He was not church
member, but believed in right living
for rights sake, and.that Every man
should do his best He was man of
strong individuality and sterling hon
esty, whose word was as good as his
bond and who was universally re-
spected and honored by all who knew
him.
His birthday and that of his brother
j. Allen were the same day of the year,
Jan 9TH, and curiously enough both
were married the same day. Nov. ?,
1912, one in Wisconsin and the other in
Vermont, though neither at the time
knew of the marriage of the other.
One by one the old'settlers are pass
ing away, and in few more years their
places will be taken by the men and
women OF a Younger generation.
