BARR, 75, a pioneer citizen of Rochester and Fulton county, passed away at 6 o'clock Saturday morning, at his residence, 315 West 9th street, this city. News of his sudden demise came as a most severe shock to a host of his friends throughout this community. Death which was attributed to heart trouble came in the wake of an attack of influenza which Mr. Barr suffered three weeks ago. The deceased, however, had only been bedfast since Friday morning. John Riley [BARR], son of George and Susan BARR was born on a farm in Franklin township, Kosciusko county, on December 4th, 1860. A son, Earl BARR, of near Akron, is at present residing on the old BARR homestead. In the year of 1882, he was united in marriage to Alphreta WIDEMAN, the ceremony being pronounced at the home of the bride, near Akron. Three children were born to this union. His wife preceded in death in the year of 1890. On May 22nd, 1893 Mr. Barr was united in wedlock with Mrs. Eldora RANNELLS, of Rochester, by the late Rev. J. T. ROTH, of the Presbyterian church. During the earlier years of Mr. Barr's life he was engaged in the stock-buyer business in the eastern sections of the county. Mr. and Mrs. Barr took up their residency in Rochester 43 years ago, at which time he served a full term as Treasurer of Fulton county, being elected on the Democratic ticket. For a period of four or five years he operated a hardware business in this city, and for a like number of years he resided in Arkansas, where he was engaged in the lumber business. Mr. Barr always took an active interest in the community's political, civil and social affairs and was widely known throughout this section of the state. He also had made a wide acquaintance of friends in California and Florida, where he and Mrs. Barr had spent several winter seasons. Mr. Barr retired from active business field several years ago and devoted his time to his family and in an occasional inspection of his farming interests in this locality.
