The announcement that he had passed away during the night was a shock and surprise to his friends, although they realized that his condition was serious. For the past twenty years he and his life's companion had been connected with the business circles of the town, having conducted a café in the north end. But on the 8th day of February, 1933, he was taken seriously ill with a heart attack at the café, and as soon as he could be moved he and his wife returned to their home in the south part of town, where she could administer to his wants and he could have the rest and quiet he so much needed. Through all these months, in fact through all his married life, she had been his constant and faithful companion. He numbered his friends by his acquaintances and was especially a friend to the young folks of the town and they often made him one of their group for a good time, and he will be missed by others outside the family circle who remembered him with many cards and letters during his illness. Thomas Barr, the son of Elizabeth and James Barr, was born at Belvidere, Illinois on January 18, 1862. Here he grew to manhood and then went to Ord, Nebraska, where he spent three years and where he met Miss Louisa Bement of Nashua, who later became his wife. They were married at Charles City, Iowa, February 11, 1891, and came to Nashua to make their home. Their union was blessed by two daughters; Mrs. Leta Stevenson of Nashua and Mrs. Ruth Holman of Austin, Minnesota who with the widow survive. He is also survived by a niece, Mrs. Lorraine Carpenter of New Hampton, whom he took into his home when she was left motherless at the age of four years and bestowed upon her the same affection accorded his own daughters. He is also survived by two granddaughters; Betty Lou Stevenson and Betty Ruth Holman; s sister; Mrs. James Strong of Rockford, Illinois; two brothers; George and Charlie Barr of Belvidere, Illinois, and many nieces and nephews and a host of friends. Mr. Barr was a charter member of the Baptist Church in Belvidere, Illinois and when he came to make his home in Nashua he joined the Baptist Church that was then located here. He had reached the age of 71 years, 4 months and 28 days, and often remarked to his wife that he was ready to go any time the Lord saw fit to take him. The funeral was held at the Methodist Church Sunday, June 18, at 3 p.m., with the pastor, Rev. G. C. Lusted and Rev. W. H. Kent of the Congregational Church conducting the services and the songs were sung by Mrs. Beatrice Prudhon and Miss Margaret Taylor. Interment was in Oak Hill Cemetery.
