Deaths in the Barnard, Missouri, Newspapers

These abstractions are not word for word reprints of the articles. I put them in my own words to save space, but always included the names, dates and other genealogical information. I didn’t always include the person’s occupation, church affiliation, lodges, etc. The survivors are listed, but not usually their addresses or grandchildren’s names. I didn’t usually put in the place of the funeral, but always tried to put in the place of burial, if it was mentioned. There are a few newspapers that have not been microfilmed and they are on this first page.

There is a tattered newspaper with the partial date, Friday, November, ???, but inside there was a Market Report from November 19, 1880 and there was an article about Governor-elect Crittenden, who took office in 1881. I could tell that Thanksgiving was past. The newspaper is in fragments; and most of it is missing, but I did find 3 deaths: Craig, Infant-We are sorry to announce the death of the babe of Mr. J.M. Craig. The funeral services occurred at Maryville on the 23 inst. Barnard Times-ca. Nov. 26, 1880. Turton, Henry-a short distance west of Stanberry, committed suicide last week by throwing himself into his stock well. Financial embarrassment supposed to have prompted the rash act. (from Stanberry Sentinel). Barnard Times-ca. Nov. 26, 1880. Baker, Alfred-(an article that has the first part missing) …brother, Alfred Baker, in the prime of his manhood, we are again reminded of our mortality and the uncertainty of life; therefore, Resolved, That in the death of Bro. Baker, we sustain the loss of a brother and friend, and his place must remain vacant in the lodge and the hearts of his family; Resolved, That we extend to his wife, children and friends our heartfelt sympathy in their bereavement. Whereas, the remains of the deceased brother were left in our charge by his request, and taken to the Barnard cemetery for interment, Resolved, That we extend our thanks and gratitude to Barnard lodge and the many friends who assisted in the funeral, and for the hospitalities extended to the brothers from this place…signed W.H. Reynolds, C.F. Tilbury, S.C. Bond, Com. Barnard Times-ca. Nov. 26, 1880. Owens, Lena-daughter of Mr. and Mrs. D.W.

It was then discovered to be Henry Campbell of near Arkoe.

The different pieces of the body were placed in a basket and brought back to the undertaking room. His face was mostly gone, having been dragged off as he probably was dragged for some distance before the train stopped. He was identified by his clothing, etc. His wife, three sons and one daughter survive him. The body will be taken to the home Friday morning and internment will be in the Swinford cemetery.

Gill, John and Gray, Z. B.-were drowned in the flood waters of Platte river near Parnell Sunday afternoon. A home made motorboat in which they were riding with Clarence Mullock and C. V. Roof capsized and they were thrown into the water 6 or 8 feet deep. Gill, who could not swim, and was handicapped by the fact that he wore heavy rubber boots and a heavy raincoat, sank immediately. Gray could swim but he was seized by a cramp. He clutched to Roof’s clothing and his desperate attempt to save himself almost cost Roof his life. Roof went down twice before he could wrench himself loose, and had barely enough strength to get to shore. Mullock could swim a little, but he was almost exhausted when he reached the bank. Seines and hooks were used in the search. The police station at St. Joseph was telephoned and divers were sent to Parnell. Gray’s body was found Monday morning several rods from the spot where the boat went down. Several Parnell men who were searching with grappling hooks located it. A party of rescuers, searching in boats, after the divers had given up in despair, found Gill’s body Monday afternoon. The motorboat in which the men were riding at the time of the accident was a homemade affair, constructed by Clarence Mullock, John Gill and Tom Dukes by placing a motor in a rowboat. There have been previous trips on the floodwaters. Z. B. Gray was 35 years old. He was married several years ago and last April he was elected city councilman. John Gill was about 27 years old. A wife and two small children, Ruth and Delmar, survive him. He was serving as town marshal and constable. An embalmer from Savannah has been sent to care for the Gray body. The Parnell embalmer is C. V. Roof who escaped the flood, and he is too nervous and shaken by the accident to do the work. Mullock is also nervous from the shock of the accident.

Gotlieb Mader, for forty years a business man of Barnard will move next week to his farm east of town. He has built a house, barn, chicken house and tin shop on this farm and will spend his time in gardening, chicken raising and doing a little tin work, he says. The coming of Gotlieb to Barnard happened forty years ago this week. He traveled north from New Orleans into Minnesota and back by bumming his way on freight trains. His wife and family were still in the Old Country when he arrived here. The manner of his arriving was something like this. He boarded a train at Maryville but was seen by the freight train crew and forced to “hit the ties” near Arkoe. He walked on into Barnard, he says just forty years ago this week, or the last of March 1885. He began working at his trade in the hardware store of Woodworth & Langford and received the munificent salary of $10 a month and board. Gotlieb said this was big wages. After working a year at his trade as tinner, he rented the tools of the hardware store for $2.50 per month, rented a store building at $5 per month and went to work as

86 Barnard Bulletin Newspapers his own boss. He has been at it ever since and has hundreds of friends who patronize him regularly. He has been ill for some time and his failing health caused him to sell to G.A. Sell who now runs the store at his old stand. Gotlieb says that if he was a young man he would build a big fine store building and run a big hardware, for he knows of no other business he could handle so well or make so much money. He has accumulated a fortune since his coming to Barnard that is variously estimated from $10,000 to $25,000. As a tinner, Gotlieb has had many experiences. In the Old Country he was a workman skilled in making stills. He says if he wanted to make money fast he would make stills for the bootleggers but he has too much respect for the law to do that. He tells of an occasion several months ago when two men came to his shop at the hour of midnight and ask him to repair a leaky still. But he refused the job.

Bare, Jacob-age 76 years, 2 months and 20 days, died suddenly at his home about a mile east of Barnard on Monday, June 15, from hemorrhage of the brain. He was seen sitting on his porch about 2 o’clock by Chas. Buie, who passed the house and was found about 5 o’clock lying dead on the porch. He was born in Andrew county, March 26, 1849 and is survived by three brothers, John, Andy and Oscar (Tobe) Bare and two sisters, Mrs. John Dougan of Chugwater, Wyoming and Mrs. Mary Richards of Guilford. Three sisters and one brother preceded him in death. Jake Bare left his home folks in his youth and went west where he led a romantic outdoor life. He spent the early part of his nearly fifty years in the Idaho mountains prospecting for gold and other minerals. He was also a sheepherder during his time out there. His brothers and sisters thought he was dead, not having heard from him for nearly 45 years, and by chance found that he was still alive. He was found about three years ago and made a trip back here for a short visit, returning to the West again, where he worked and trapped for the government. He returned to Barnard last October and has resided here since that time. While Mr. Bare was very reticent and disliked to be in crowds, it was learned that he had given much time to the care of the sick while in the West and had given liberally of his money to care for the needy. The funeral services were preached from the house Wednesday. Burial was in Barnard cemetery. June 18, 1925. Carter, Maurice-23 years old, who ended his life Sunday on the farm of Carl Pierce between Langdon and Rock Port, was the son of Mrs. Sadie Carter of Guilford.

His knife was open and had been sharpened but had not been used. His body was found when the Pierce family returned home. It is thought that despondency over ill health was the motive. Pierce had employed him since last December. A note addressed to Miss Blanche Hartley of Barnard, Carter’s fiancée, was found. His father, James A. Carter, lives at Unadilla, Neb.
