Mrs. Lucy Barclay, Who De-

Riches Were Spent Freely for
UnfortunateS - Institutions
Memorials to Husband.

Mrs. Lucy Barclay. once one Of At
lanta's most widely known charity
workers and widow of the late John F.
Barclay, founder of the Barclay mis-
sion and promoter of half a score of
other measures of relief for the city's
poor and unfortunate, lies today help
less inmate of a charitable institution.
The widow whose infrmities have
made her helpless occupies small pri-
waite room. Even that is about to be
taken away from her, and she will have
to lie in the general ward among a
score of incurables like herself.
She has no children, and when her
husband died about four years ago she
went to live with her nieces. whom she
had reared as her own children. 1t
was understood then that Mr.. Barclay
left a sufficient sum to care for his
widow for the remaining years of her
life.
Several months ago Mrs. Barclay left
her nieces and went to the Home for
Incura bles, where she now lies helpless.
She paid a small sum in order that she
might have a private room. She re-
Gently told an old friend who found her
there while on a visit that this sum was
almost exhausted and that she would
soon have to become a regular charity
patient. There was no complaint.

Takes Cheerful View
Of Her Misfortune.

Il suppose it's for the best" she said
and smiled.
When she was talking she was seated
in large rocker. rheumatism had so
bound her muscles that she was unable
to lift her hands which are withered
with age and pain.
peculiar malady. found occa SION
ally by physicians, is slowly turning her
body to stone, But the physicians say
she may live for years in that condition
of absolute helplessness.
For many years in Atlanta the name
of John Barclay was a 8 closely asso-
ciated with charitable work as that of
Carnegie is with the founding of libra
ries. The millionaire gives out of his
abundance. John Barclay mortgaged
his home to raise money to guarantee a
certain sum so that a local cha
might not lose fund promised by a
wealthy philanthropist on condition
that Atlanta raise an agreed sum.
Mr.. Barclay was never a minister in
his church, the Methodist but he
worked as faithfully as many ordained
ministers. In the congregation of the
First Methodist church he and his wife
were noted workers. They aided the
relief efforts OF this church and often
went further in their work than did the
church
More than 25 years ago Mr. and Mrs.
Barclay founded the first mission in
Atlanta. 1t was started as a Sunday
school in the factory district out Ma

played the little organ in those days,
when even then rheumatism had so srf-
fected her that she found it the great
est pain to pump the organ.
The Sunday school grew and grew
until 1t became regular mission
church. 1t was afterward called the
Barclay mission.
This was not the only charitable work
that Mrs Barclay did. There is hardly
a more revered and favored institution
in Atlanta today than is the Sheltering
Arms, a place where little children are
cared for and taught while their moth
ers labor in the mills. Mrs Barclay is
spoken of as the woman who was the
real founder OF that institution. To
other charitable organiza atoms she gave
her aid both physically and financially.
At the time that his wife was carry

for the poor and unfortunate in a day
when there was no organized effort
for charitable relief here, Mr. Barclay
was giving his time and money to va

modestly was his work done that only

know how much he had accomplished
