Barker A well-known resident of Ramsay, and latterly of Almonte, died at the home of his son, Robert, in Carleton Place on Friday morning, Jan 16th, in the person of James A. Barker. He was in his 93rd year. Mr Barker was born in Ramsay Township on March 5th, 1860, a son of the late James Barker and his wife, Joan Hood. On April 27th, 1887, he married Isabella McPhail who predeceased him in 1940. For upwards of eight years he lived retired in Almonte with his son, Jack and Mrs Barker. For the last two months he was with Mr and Mrs Robert Barker in Carleton Place. He leaves three daughters and two sons, namely: Mrs H.B. Gilpin (Kate) of Smiths Falls; Miss Margaret Barker of Carleton Place; Miss Flora Barker of Renfrew; Robert of Carleton Place and Jack of Almonte. A son, James, died in infancy. There are also a sister and a brother, Mrs Helen Blanton of Seattle, Wash., and Mr Alex Barker of Almonte; nine grandchildren and five great grandchildren. The funeral was held on Sunday afternoon from the residence of Mr Jack Barker, Union Street, to the Auld Kirk Cemetery. Service was conducted by Rev H.C. Wolfraim, pastor of Almonte United Church, at the home and Rev Thos McCord of Carleton Place officiated at the Cemetery. Pallbearers were Messrs Geo Robertson, D.M. Campbell, Melville Barker, Aubrey Nesbitt, Kenneth Drummond and Jas Anderson. Mr Barker's farm was located at Blakeney. He was a successful farmer and a outstanding plowman. Like most men of a past generation who excelled in this agricultural activity, he used the walking plow and scorned the kind that the operator rides on. The year he reached 80 years of age, Mr Barker did all the plowing on his farm which is an outstanding achievement seldom equalled, especially in this mechanized era.
