Sudden Death Of Or. Barrett.

The death of DIR. Barrett, Sunday,
Jan. Z, 1900, which shocked the entire
community, was the cause OF heartrend-
ing scenes when the great loss was
made known to the bereaved wife and
grandchildren. He had gone to the
barn to do the evening chores, and not
returning as soon as usual, Mrs. Barrett
requested Miss Clara Hinrichs to see
what detained him. She found him in
a sitting position by the barn, and know
ing Mrs. Barrett's weakness, Immediate
ly ran to B. F. Shoemaker's. Mrs. Shoe
maker sent for her husband and ]. ii.
Shoemaker and started with Miss Hin
richs for DIR. Barrett's. Mrs.Shoemaker
tried, by changing the position of the
doctor, to see if there was any hope of
recuscitation. B. F. and ]. H. Shoe
maker were soon assisting, and being
satisfied that life was extinct, tried to
persuade Mrs. Shoemaker TO go to the
house and inform Mrs Barrett, task
from which she shrank, realizing how
completely Mrs. Barrett relied on the
doctor and her devotion to him. The
two little grandchildren, twin boys, who
had come upon the scene, preeipitated
matters by going to the house, but Mr.
Shoemaker went with them and then
returned to the body with Mrs. Barrett
Her distress and that Of the children
was pitiable. Dr. Brosius, who was sent
for in haste, gave the stricken wife the
comforting assurance that death had
been painless, and that he had not been
dead many minutes before he was found
The DOCTORS business affairs had been
arranged in anticipation of such sud-
den end, but the people of the valley
were entirely unprepared for their ire
