The death of Mrs. Haecker occurred March 6, 1913, to the deep regret of her many friends as well as her relatives. The only daughter of this marriage, Barbara, died on the 8th of July, 1911, and the loss was an irreparable one to her devoted parents. She was a most beautiful, lovable child, but fifteen years of age at the time of her death. Every possible effort had been made by her parents to save her, but all to no avail. At the funeral services Dr. De Witt Clinton said: "The wisest of Kings wrote a poem in which he represents his bride as saying, 'My beloved is gone down into his garden to gather lilies.' A recent interpreter makes a parable of this, figuring the Lord as coming down to earth and selecting the choicest specimens of our race and often the beautiful bud half opened, to transplant them to His paradise to bloom forever. Such a lily was Barbara Haecker, just blossoming into young womanhood, fifteen years of age, frail, beautiful, pure, of fragrant influence and memory Hers was a beauty of face and mind. She had a taste for the beautiful in nature and art. She loved only the best in literature and recoiled from that which lacked naturalness and genuineness. Hers was a beauty of character shining in her countenance and giving a grace to her manner that attracted particular attention wherever she went. Hers was the beauty of a white soul in its simplicity and innocence, over which would play at times the flush of indignation at the recognition of evil.'' A memorial article written of her said, "Barbara was a remarkable girl, inasmuch as hers was a dual nature in which was combined the sweetness, tenderness and peace of childhood and the wisdom and judgment of older age. The vista that opened before her extended far. In early years she harbored conceptions which rang true to life. Justice and charity were inborn traits. To hear people criticised harshly and unwarrantedly grated on her fine sensibilities and she was not slow to chide those who might err in this regard. Evidently, by that intuition that so often is associated with the feminine, she understood that conditions which are not easily changed mold the characters of men and women. For her age, she possessed a wonderfully philosophical mind and her power of discernment was bright as a crystal. Sophistry found less lodgment in her mind than it does in the minds of the majority of those who are called grown up. She had come to understand that cause and effect give birth to circumstances and thus she paid homage to the laws of the Creator. She was the child's friend, particularly the poor child's friend, and the simple, crumpled flowers—flowers without stems, but which bore the aroma of love—that were brought to the door by soiled hands, were a more precious tribute than a greenhouse could produce." From the 1914 book History of Franklin County Iowa vol. 2, page 20:
