Payette Enterprise
Thursday, October 31, 1918
Wife of Clarence Barker of Washoe, died at their home Thursday of last week and was buried on Saturday afternoon. Funeral services were at the house, conducted by Rev. M. D. Reed of the Presbyterian church with the assistance of the choir of the same church.
Typhoid fever was the cause of death. She suffered from it nearly five weeks, but was under the Doctor's care only three weeks. There was a very large attendance at the funeral showing the high esteem in which both Mr. and Mrs. Barker were held. She leaves a ten months old baby girl, who with her husband constituted her own family. Of her parents family, Mr. and Mrs. Channer.
She is the first of the ten children to go over into the great beyond. It was a heavy stroke of bereavement to them. Mr. Barker, Clarence as he is known, is one of five boys who were fathered and mothered both by their father, the mother having died when they were little fellows. They grew up in this community and are universally spoken of as splendid men. All of them and the father as well, were present at the funeral. The Enterprise adds its _expression of deep sympathy with all the bereaved ones.
