Charles and Caroline (Wolcott) Barrett, the former a native of New York state and the latter born in Derinda, Illinois. He went to Michigan in 1851, when sixteen years of age, and located at Benton Harbor, of which locality he was a pioneer. He secured a tract of land, clearing off sixty-five acres of heavy timber, and lived there until 1869, when he went to Illinois. Three years later he bought one hundred and seventy-one acres of land in Rush township, Jo Daviess county, Illinois, and there developed a fine homestead and remained until 1905, when he came to Bellingham, Washington, with his son. His death occurred here October 3, 1907, and he was survived by his widow, whose death, occurred in April, 1919.
Word was received in Blaine yesterday that Charles Barrett had died at the home of his son in Ferndale on Wednesday night. Mr. Barrett was 72 years of age and his death came as the result of a general breaking down of his system. Mr. Barrett was born in the state of New York. He came west and settled in Illinois where the greater part of his life was passed. During the civil war he served in the 96th Illinois Infantry and was honorably discharged. He came to Washington about two years ago. Mr. Barrett leaves a widow, Mrs. Caroline Barrett, of Blaine, three sons and seven daughters to mourn his death. His children living in Whatcom county are Mrs. W. E. Stanton, Blaine; Mrs. Cook, Bellingham; Mrs. Porter, Lynden and Henry Barrett, Ferndale. Funeral arrangements have not as yet been announced, but it is probable that the remains will be buried here.
