A native of Shelby county, Mr. Barr was born April 6, 1846, a son of James R. and Levenia (Short) Barr. Reared in the county, he became a farmer, the occupation of his father. However, in 1870, when 23 years of age, he went to Nevada with his brother James and spent about three years in that State engaged in getting out and supplying wood and timber to the mines and quartz mills. Returning after this, he at once resumed farming in Shelby county, to which he had been brought up, and in February, 1873, was married to Miss Jane, a daughter of James Clark, of this county. Mr. Barr located on the farm where he now resides shortly after his marriage, or, rather, on the land of which his farm is composed, for it was then unimproved. He improved the place himself and has a good farm of 180 acres, with excellent improvements, including residence, barn, fences, etc., and a good orchard. Mr. and Mrs. B. have four children: Lavenia B., Fannie K., John M. and Berry S. They have lost one, Hettie E., who died at the age of 14 months. Mr. and Mrs. Barr are members of the M. E. Church South. Mr. Barr is a substantial young farmer and well respected citizen of Clay township. History of Monroe and Shelby Counties, Missouri; St. Louis: National Historical Company, 1884, Page 1042 Dropped Dead in Church John Barr, one of Shelby county's best citizens died suddenly yesterday morning. His death occurred in church at Bacon Chapel and during the service. Mr. Barr had just lead in prayer and as the congregation was singing the first stanza of a song which followed he fell dead on the floor. This brings to mind the fact that George Barr a brother to the deceased, died in a similar manner two or three years ago. George Barr was attending a revival at Wesley Chapel and had just ended a sort talk and fell dead as the congregation began singing immediately after. John Barr was a highly esteemed citizen, a member of the M. E. church South, and a regular attendant at the protracted meeting now in progress at Bacon Chapel and which is conducted by Rev. J. W Ramsey. Shelbina Democrat (Shelbina, MO), 1897-11-17; page 5, column 4 Information on file with Shelby County Historical Society & Museum
