Daughter of William Wills Barr and Jane Sample (also found as Semple).
Jane and her husband, David, were second cousins.~MRS. JANE A. BARR
Mrs. Jane A. Barr, who entered into rest February 7, 1901 in the eighty-first year of her age, having passed the scriptural limit of three score years and ten, had her birth in Center [sic] county, Pennsylvania, July 27, 1820, of worthy christian parentage. She was reared in the United Presbyterian church as a child of the covenant and at an early age took upon herself the vows of God, whom she loved and served all her days.
In the year 1841, September 26, she was united in marriage to Mr. David A. Barr, a distant relative. Eight children were the fruit of this marriage, five daughters and three sons, of whom one died in infancy; John enlisted in the army in 1864 and gave up his life for his country; and William died at Grand Junction, Col., December 1891. The daughters, Miss Nannie Barr and Mrs. Anna M. Berry, of Carthage, Ill.; Mrs. Elizabeth Duffy and Mrs. Laura A. Duffy, of Waverly, Kan.; and Mrs. Mary A. Campbell, of LaHarpe, Ill.; also a sister, Miss Sallie Barr, of Chicago, Ill.; and a brother, Mr. George Barr, of St. Louis, Mo. survive to mourn her loss.
The family of the deceased after several years residence in Pennsylvania, removed in 1860 to Lee county, Iowa. In 1864 they changed their residence to Fountain Green, Illinois. Her husband died August 23, 1870.
In 1893 she removed to Carthage, Illinois, which continued to be her home until called to the home above.
Of this home above she was ever mindful and she sought to cultivate its spirit in the home below. She was a christian wife and mother, which is saying much for her personal character and influence. Thos surviving rise up and call her blessed. The many blessings of neighborly kindness and charity which she scattered along her way have cheered and aided her companions and brethen [sic], and carried good to the stranger and the destitute within her reach.
On her removal to this place she brought her letter of commendation from the Presbyterian church of Fountain Green and united with the Presbyterian church in this place, of which she was an acceptable member until her departure for the church triumphant.
She was ready and waiting for the coming of the Lord. Her departure when it came was a peaceful falling asleep as it were in the arms of her God and Redeemer.
The funeral was held from the residence of Hon. O. F. Berry February 9th at 10:30 a. m., Dr. S. H. Hyde, of Prairie City, Illinois, officiating.
Burial at Moss Ridge cemetery.
