DANIEL L. BARKER
Daniel Lewis Barker, an industrious farmer of Lincoln township, Nodaway county, Missouri is one of the progressive and well known residents of the county. He was born in North Carolina, July 10, 1832, a son of James and Anna Lewis Barker. The ancestors of James Barker came to America before the Revolutionary war when three Barker brothers settled on Long Island. From then on, different members of this family served in the Revolutionary war, Indian war, Mexican war and the Civil war. James Barker married Anna Lewis, a native of Germany. Her parents settled in North Carolina. James and his wife had children, namely: Martin, Rebecca, Mary, Daniel, Jasper, Emiline, Newtin, Joshua and Henry Clay. The last named died when an infant. They moved to Hendricks county, Indiana, where they lived eleven years. Mr. Barker died in 1847, the widow moved to Wapello county, Iowa, in 1853, and died near Ottumwa, Iowa, at the age of seventy one. She was a member of the Baptist church.
Daniel Barker was nine years old when his parents moved to Indiana. He remained on the farm until he went to Wapello county, Iowa, in 1853 and lived there until 1862.
In 1862 President Lincoln called for three hundred thousand men, and Mr. Barker decided to enter the army. Accordingly he enlisted in Company G, Twenty ninth Regiment, Iowa Volunteer Infantry, under the command of Colonel Benton, and Company G being under the command of Captain Huggins. Mr. Barker was under fire at Columbus, Kentucky, at the siege of Vicksburg, Red River, Arkansas Post, Steel Mound, Tallahatchee river, and Helena, Arkansas. He was in the hospital for some time undergoing a severe illness. He received an honorable discharge from the army, with a No. 1 record as a soldier, at Davenport, Iowa, May 18, 1865. Mr. Barker then returned to farm life in Iowa. In 1871 he located in Nodaway county, Missouri, where he has a farm of eighty acres, all in a good state of cultivation. His house and barn are large and commodious, the orchard yields a fine abundance of fruit each year, and the fields and meadows are in good shape.
Mr. Barker married Martha Magers in 1853. She was born in White county, Illinois, a daughter of James and Emily (Braddy) Magers, who were natives of Tennessee. This union was honored by the birth of five children, of whom two are now deceased. The names of all are: Rebecca, the wife of William Guthrie, of Oklahoma; Albert C., who married Rose Abby, and they live at Cripple Creek, Colorado; Emma, the wife of Robert Calvin, residing in this township; and James and Alvina died when infants.
Mr. Barker is a member of the Republican party and of the Masonic order, and G.A.R., Marshall Post, of Elmo, Missouri. He is a man of sound judgment and of great honor and his friends in the county are legion.
