Chicago Tribune Feb. 11th.-
Charles h. Barber, for a quart
err of a century one of the best
known characters of the first
ward, died yesterday in Hot
Springs, Ark. He was at one
time a proprietor of the House
of David, which up to the time
it closed several years ago, was
in one way or another one of
the most famous saloons in the
country.
Mr.. Barber has been ailing
for a year and a half and died
from a general break down, re.
sulting from a complication of
diseases. He was a native OF
Syracuse, N. Y, and was 81
years old. He came to Chicago
thirty years ago, and for a time
worked as a blacksmith. Then
he became a barkeeper, and
later a saloon keeper, first be-
ing associated with James H.
Lomax and afterwards with

Mr.. Barber will be remem-
bered by many of the old time
citizens of Mo. Valley. He was
a machinist in the shops here
30 years ago, but quit that bus
mess and opened a saloon in a
wooden building that stood
where Cramer's brick building
now stands. He was a big
hearted, generous man, and
made a great deal of money in
his saloon business, but spent
it as fast as he got it, and when
he left here was comparatively
poor man He always wrote
to his friends in the east that
he was in the "hardware bust
ness" here, as he claimed that
whiskey was about the "hardest
ware" a man could sell.
