RETIRED MINISTER
DIES AT PINE CITY
Rev. G. L. Barker Had Been a
Y. nj. c. A Secretary, Chautau-
qua Lecturer, and Minister.
Was Nearly Is Years.

Rev. George L. Barker ho-~had
been a resident of Pine City the past
four years, died at the home of Rich
ardson Gray on Wednesday, March IA.
The cause of his death was heart
trouble from which he had been suf-
fering for the past four years.
Rev. Barker was born in New York
City on April 1, 1853, and was nearly
seventy-five years of age at the time
of his death. AS a young man he
took up Christian work, being con-
verted in 1873 and joining the Bap-
fist church. Later in life he joined
the Methodist Episcopal church and
was a member of that faith until his
death.
In 1878, Mr.. Barker became Y. M.
c. A. secretary serving at Border
town, New York and later at Camden,
N. J. He took part in several very
successful campaigns for raising
money for YIN. C. A. buildings and
was an active worker in that line for
many years. In the year 1887, Mr..
Barker took up active evangelistic
work, preaching in many churches
throughout the United States and con-
Quoting in all over three hundred SER
les of revival services.
AS a Chautauqua lecturer Rev. Bar
ker also attained considerable prom
inence, being connected for many
years with the Midland Chautauqua
of Des Moines, Iowa. Among Mr..
Barker's personal friends were ]. Rus
sell Conwell, Newell Dwight Hilles,
Bishop Mcintyre, Bishop Quale and
Bishop Stuntz. AS a Y. M. C. A. Sec
rotary he helped many aspiring young
men get funds for college education,
among whom was Doctor Glenn Frank
of the University of Wisconsin.
In 1898, he was married to Kate
L. Stratton of Swedesborough, N. J.
Two children were born to this union,
one-a son who died in youth, and the
other a daughter, now Mrs. Gaylord
Huffman of Ohio. His wife died in
1921.
Rev. Barker was widely recognized
as a preacher of more than usual abil-'
ity, and also as humorist and phil
ospher. He treasured among his
memories the fact that he had taken
many persons by the hand and heard

Dtane would probably die of
shock.
She was still unused to the
thought OF having any relations
in the world but her Mud and
Dairy. She wanted to think
about these other people. She
wanted to see them before they
discovered her, and fate had now
given her this wonderful oppor-
tunity to do so.
When they did know her, If
they ever did, would they drive
her away too? Would they con-
slider her blood tainted with the
blood of a circus woman? The
thought brought her back to the
deathbed of Julie Abbott. To
that horrible moment when she
had seen Julie fall In the circus.
To the pitiful funeral in the

other. swiftly, too swiftly.
