- Obituary
From the Redwood Falls, Minn., Gazette of Nov. 11, we take the following notice of the death of Mrs. Mary Barber, of that town, sister of Mrs. M.R. Dodds of Perth, Ralph Dodds, of Glen Tay, and Mrs J.S. Ireland, of Glen Tay.:
Mrs. Mary Barber died at the Residence of her daughter, Mrs. S. McIntosh, in Echo, last Wednesday morning. Mrs Barber had been ill for some time prior to her death, and her passing away was a relief from suffering. She welcomed the approach of the Reaper and she departed from this life with a smile.
Mrs. Barber and family were among the early settlers of Redwood county. She was born in Scotland as Mary Dodds, and came to Canada when only eight years of age. In Canada she lived for nearly 40 years, and it was during her residence with her parents there that she met William BArber, a sturdy tiller of the soil in Canada. They wer married and 25 years ago came to Minnesota, settling in Vesta township. At that time the town was unorganized and there were very few, if any, settlers in the township. The eye could view the prairies for many miles without seeing another farm house. Her husband departed this life shortly after they removed to this county and Mrs. Barber was obliged to manage the farm and a large family of boys and girls. How well she accomplished can be seen in the fact that her sons are among the leading citizens of this and Yellow Medicine counties and her daughters married to leading farmers and business men. No better Christian ever lived than Mrs. Barber. She was sincere in her religion, and devoted to the principles of good will towards all mankind. She was 70 years of age. She leaves six children, Thomas D. Barber, James Barber, Mrs. Sarah McIntosh, Mrs. Jeanette Wyman, Mrs. Mark Drake and Mrs Jane Giten. She was grandmother to a larg number of children.
