Barker) who resides on section 4, Washington Township, is a representative of one of the pioneer families of Van Buren County, his parents being Joseph and Anna (Manchester) Barker, whose sketch appears on another page of this work. He was born on the old homestead, where he still resides, March 18, 1842, and the days of his boyhood and youth were spent in the usual manner of farmer lads. After attending the district schools of the neighborhood, at the age of nineteen years he responded to his country's call for troops, enlisting in the United States service as a member of Company H, Third Iowa Cavalry, under Capt. Jesse Hughes in September, 1861. He was mustered in at Keokuk and the regiment was assigned to the Third Army Corps, in the Army of the Tennessee. His company being detailed to skirmish duty made several raids through Northern Missouri, at one time capturing one hundred and seventy-two kegs of powder and at another, five hundred kegs of the same article. They spent the first winter in Mexico, Mo. Afterwards Mr. Barker participated in the battle of Moore's Mills, where he received a gun shot wound through the left jaw which unfitted him for duty for two weeks. On rejoining his command he participated in the battle of Little Rock, Ark., and Guntown, Miss. At the latter place he was dismounted by his horse giving out and made a forced march on foot to White Station, Tenn., a distance of sixty miles which he covered in ten hours. He was also with the Wilson raid through Tennessee and Alabama, and was mustered out in Atlanta, Ga., on the 9th of August, 1865, after four years of faithful service on Southern battle fields. Returning home at the close of the war Mr. Barker purchased one hundred and eighty acres of land and engaged in agricultural pursuits. His boyhood training had fitted him for his chosen occupation and with the passage of time his possessions have been increased until he is now the owner of a fine farm of three hundred and forty-seven acres — a portion of the old homestead. The entire amount is under a good state of cultivation and well improved, and the owner takes rank among the enterprising agriculturists of the community. As a companion on life's journey Mr. Barker chose Miss Martha M. Van Eman, their union being celebrated on the 2d of February, 1871. Her father, Rev. George Van Eman, was born in Washington County, Pa., January 29, 1823, and her mother, whose maiden name. was Elizabeth Poage, is a native of Pocahontas County, Va. Both parents are still living at this writing in 1890, and make their home in Vernon, Tex., where Mr. Van Erman has charge of a church. Mrs. Barker was born in Missouri, December 3, 1852. She was the second in a family of seven children as follows: Ella, now deceased; James A., a resident of Wilburger, Tex.; Mrs. Mary R. Gray, of St. Paul, Neb.; Joseph, who is living in the Lone Star State; Edward E., of Baltimore, Md.; and Mrs. Stella Hicks, of Texas. The Barker family consists of eight children as follows: George V., born December 29, 1871; John H., September 8, 1873; Maud O., July 31, 1875; Nellie, November 22, 1876; William R., May 18, 1878; Josie E., August 6, 1880; A. C., June 15, 1883; and Manchester, August 12, 1886. Mr. and Mrs. Barker and their four older children are members of the Presbyterian Church of Mt. Zion, in which the father holds the office of Elder. He contributes liberally to the support of church and charitable institutions and all laudable enterprises, feeling a deep interest in anything which pertains to the welfare of the community. In politics he is a supporter of Republican principles.
