Oldest Merchants, Passes into the
Beyond.
James Barrett died OH Thursday
evening. These few words will convey
world OF meaning to the business
men. the residents of this city and
many outside 1t, for they tell of loss
which the community Will keenly re-
gret. The news Of his death was not
generally known until this morning,
and when the report spread rapidly 1t
caused universal mourning.
On Tuesday morning of this week
The Tribune in this column announced
that Mr.. Barrett would reopen his store
that day in order to dispose of his
goods, after long illness, and after
the sale would retire. Hut he did not
regain sufficient strength to carry out
his declared purpose and others must
do the work he planned.
Mr.. Barrett was one of the pioneers
OF this the Pioneer City. Ie was born
here In 1885, and had resided here ever
since. He was the son of James and
Nora Barrett. In 1858 he and his
brother. M. T.. Barrett, opened a store
on lower South Main street. Eight
years later they removed to where Mr..
Barretts store has since stood. In 1887
NJ. l.. Barrett removed to Scranton to
conduct large furniture store there,
and James continued TO cater to the
Carbondale patronage which he enjoyed
and which increased as the years rolled
by. He had great success. and died
possessed of much wealth. In his poll
tics Mr.. Barrett was q staunch Demo-
crat. but acted as a private In the
party ranks. never aspiring to a politi-
cal office of any kind, Notwithstanding
many inducements to accept nOmina-
ttons. He was a very public-spirited
citizen.' however, and identified himself
with number of plans to progress his
native city. He was an active member
of the knights of Columbus of this
city, and that society will attend his
funeral in body. lie was also an act
I've member of ST. Rose church and an
ardent supporter Of the church of his
belief His demise will be severe blow.
to that church and its members. as well
as the rest of the community.
Mr.. Barrett had nine brothers and
sisters. of whom only four now survive:
Mrs. John Mctiee. Of Pittston: NJ. J..
Barrett, Of Scranton: Mrs. Thomas
BOland and Mrs. j. O'Hearn nf this
city. the latter of whom Mr.. Barrett
made his home with. above the store
where the most Of his life had been
passed. He had been sick for almost
six months the illness being ascrihed
to a breaking down of his system, due
to his extreme application to business.
The funeral procession will leave his
| late residence at 10 a. m. on Monday.
| Services will be held at St. Rose
| church. After high mass of requiem,
