Barber, widow of the late Turner Barber, aged about sixty-eight years, died at her home in Lancaster County, S. c., on Thanksgiving morning, November 25, 1909. Mrs. Barber sat up later than usual the night before, helping her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Osmond Barber, to arrange some things for their Thanksgiving dinner, and got up early, dressed herself, went across the hall to wake some young girls from Winthrop college who were there for the day, walked back into her room, fell upon the floor and died of what was supposed to be neuralgia of the heart. Frugality was one of the leading characteristics of her nature, and while she was not a strong woman physically, yet in keeping with her life she never knew what it was to slight the least known duty. While her husband was left at home during the late war as one of the bread winners for our county, yet she was as much a hero in looking after the interests of that big plantation as any man was on the field of battle. Mrs. Barber has been a widow for about twenty years, and was left a fine plantation and other means beside, and she has managed them far beyond the average man. The home that she so much loved has been remodeled and stands the embodiment of an old Southern mansion as it appears there today among those giant trees. Mrs. Barber always dressed faultlessly and was as pure in word, thought and deed as she was in dress. She has never lost her interest in young people, and no festive occasion ever passed without having a bevy of young people in her home. Mrs. Barber was the mother of ten children, five of whom are still living, viz: Mr. Alexander Barber of Fort Mill, S. C., Messrs. Henderson and Osmond Barber, Mrs. W. M. Ross of Providence Township, N. C., and Miss Anna Barber of Hiddenite, N. C. Mrs. Barber was a life long member of the Baptist church, and her devotion to it was something beautiful. She took up church work where Mr. Barber laid it down, and ever remained one of the strongest supporters of the little Pleasant Valley church. Mrs. Barber's funeral was preached from her home on Friday morning, November 26, 1909, by her pastor and at noon her body was laid to rest in the cemetery at Fort Mill, S. C. by the side of her late husband, and we thing those that were near and dear to her in life heard an Angel choir as they caught up a long refrain as that Heaven-born soul burst through portals into the City of our God. State Thursday, January 13, 1910 Page 11 --------- Middle name provided by Lanie.
