Eighty-nine years and two weeks later it came to a close. He died at the home of his son, O.K. Barkley, on Friday afternoon, February 27th, 1931. In youth he attended country school. On March 26th, 1875, he was married to Miss Agnes Drumm. They made their home at Shellsburg, Iowa. In 1883 they came to Pierson, Iowa, and located on a farm two and one-half miles southwest of town. In 1891 they moved to Grand Meadow township. In 1909 they retired from the farm and moved to Kingsley, Iowa. On March 19th, 1922, the wife died. Since that time he has had something of a lonely journey. He united with the Providence Methodist church at the time it was organized. He was a faithful member, attending all the services regularly. After moving to Kingsley, he united with the Methodist church there. To Mr. and Mrs. Barkley there were born 12 children, seven boys and five girls. Three died in infancy. A beloved son, Howard, died on April 7th, 1913. Those who are left to mourn the father's going are: O.K. Barkley, of Pierson, Iowa; J.R. Barkley, of Vermilion, South Dakota; I.L. Barkley, of Ardmore, South Dakota; Mrs. O.C. Nicolls, of Mitchell, South Dakota; Mrs. John Peck, of Lake Andes, South Dakota; Miss Esther Barkley, of Omaha, Nebraska; Mrs. Guy Pixler and Mrs. Melvin Dearinger of Pierson, Iowa, all of which were present at the last sad rites. Also 30 grandchildren and three great grandchildren mourn his loss. The funeral services were conducted from the O.K. Barkley home in Grand Meadow township on Sunday afternoon, March 1st, 1931. Rev. G.R. Gilbert gave the sermon. A beautiful part of the service was the music furnished by two granddaughters of the departed, the Misses Erma and Elma Barkley. They sang, "Abide With Me," and "God Be With You Till We Meet Again." Miss Ruth Broadie accompanied them at the piano. The tired body of this weary traveler was laid to rest by the side of his companion of life in Grand Meadow cemetery.
