Mrs. Electa Barkley, Mother
Of Senator Barkley, Dies
Mrs. Electa Barkley, 89-year-old mother of Senator Alben W. Barkley, died Saturday night at 10:15 o'clock at Riverside Hospital.
She was stricken a week ago with influenza and pneumonia followed.
She was the widow of John W. Barkley, who died in 1932.
Funeral services were not arranged last night, but rites probably will be held at Margaret Hank Memorial Cumberland Presbyterian church.
Senator Barkley was unable to get to Paducah before his mother's death. He reportedly is on his way here today.
Mrs. Barkley was born at Carruthersville, Mo. She came to Kentucky at an early age and grew up at Bowling Green.
After her marriage she came to this vicinity, living at Clinton, Lowes, Paducah and on the Lovelaceville road about a mile from Lone Oak.
Mrs. Barkley was an active member of the Margaret Hank Memorial church. Her loyalty to church work did not falter as she grew old and "Mother" Barkley could always be counted on to take a leading role in any program undertaken by her church.
Her famous senator son was born while the Barkleys lived near Lowes.
Besides Senator Barkley she is survived by two other sons, John, with whom she lived, and George Barkley, and two daughters, Mrs. W. H. Thielman and Mrs. Oscar Denker, Paducah.
Last September, when President Truman stopped at the Paducah Airport to pick up Senator Barkley, Mrs. Barkley was taken to the airfield to meet the President. Earlier she had attended a dedication service at the Margaret Hank church, where Senator Barkley was principal speaker.
