James Polk Bare died Saturday, June 20, 1925. He was survived by seven children, thirty-eight grandchildren and eleven great grand-children. His funeral was held at Cumberland Church where the funeral of his wife Harriett Wilson Bare had been nineteen years before.
The death of J. P. Bare removed one from our midst who for more than half a century had been one of the best citizens of this portion of Butler County. Honest, kindly, public-spirited and considerate, he had lived among his neighbors an example of uprightness and usefulness. He had been a soldier of the Civil War serving in the famous regiment of loyal Tennesseans commanded by the dashing Dick Brownlow.
Every member of his large family has developed into useful citizenship. After the death of his wife Harriett years ago, he disposed of his home farm and helped his children in establishing homes for themselves.
While yet a young man in Tennessee he united with the Baptist church, which church was his religious home during the remainder of his life.
He came to Kansas as a pioneer in 1871 and has helped to make this part of the country the beautiful place that it now is. Until a few years ago he led an active life and was interested in the best things of the community.
He was a good man and has now gone to receive a reward for his faithful labors down here.
