BARBER biography, extracted from the Past and Present of Shelby County, Iowa; pub. 1915, B. F. Bowen & Co., Inc.; page 877-79. JOSEPH L. BARBER. The farming interests of Shelby County, Iowa, are carried on by an active and intelligent class of men, who are thus performing their share in maintaining and extending the welfare of their county. Among the progressive farmers of the county, Joseph L. Barber, occupies a conspicuous place. He has been paying particular attention to the raising of fine stock, and his Chester White hogs have won him a reputation which extends beyond the limits of his county. He has one of the finest country homes in the county, and his farm of 160 acres presents a very attractive appearance in every way. Joseph L. Barber, son of John K. and Sarah (HARTER) BARBER, was born January 10, 1868, in Pennsylvania. His father was born March 25, 1838, in Union County, Pennsylvania, and is a son of James Barber, a native of the same state. James Barber married Mary MAZE, and to them were born eleven children. John K. Barber was educated in the schools of Union County, Pennsylvania, and when a young man worked at the carpenter trade in his native state. A short time after his marriage, he came with his family to Iowa and located near Oakfield, in Audubon County. In 1882 he moved to Shelby County and rented a farm in Harlan Township, which he operated for four years, after which he purchased a farm in Polk Township, where he lived for 22 years, and then rented it and moved to Kirkman, where he is now living a retired life. He served as school director in Polk township, and since moving to Kirkman has served as Mayor and Alderman of the city. John K. BARBER was married in 1856 to S! arah E. HARTER, daughter of Samuel and Mary (WOLF) HARTER, of Clinton County, Pennsylvania, and to this marriage have been born eleven children: Chestie N., the wife of Jacob AURACHER; James D., who married Minnie WHITTED; Mary C., the wife of Eli MONTGOMERY; Samuel D., who died in infancy; Carrie M., the wife of Milo SHARK; Arabella M., the wife of J. L. HARRIS; Joseph L.; Charles W., who married Sylvia LACY; Maggie A., wife of George LAWSHE; John F., who married Nettie CARTER; and Effie J., wife of John ERICKSON. Joseph L. Barber was only about one year old when his parents moved from Pennsylvania to Iowa, and consequently received all of his education in this state. He was fourteen years of age when his parents settled in Shelby County in 1882, and the remainder of his life has been spent within this county. According with the custom of farmers' boys in Iowa, as well as every other state in the Union, he worked on the farm during the summer seasons and went to school during the winter months. He continued to stay on the home farm after he left school until he was 22 years of age, when he rented land and started in to save money in order to buy a farm of his own. He continued as a renter until 1909, when he bought 160 acres, where he is now living. Since acquiring this farm, he has erected a beautiful home, one which ranks with the finest residences in Shelby County. He has also put up several commodious barns and other out-buildings, so that his farm today stands as one of the! model farms of the county. He has gained a high reputation as a stockman and has had remarkable success in raising all kinds of livestock. He makes a scientific study of farming and is ranked among the successful agriculturists of his county. Politically, Mr. Barber is a Democrat, while his religious connections are with the Standard Methodist Episcopal Church. He is a breeder of the Chester White hogs, having a herd of 300 head now, known as the International Herd. He holds an annual sale of Chester White hogs, and on February 25, 1914, held a sale averaging eighty-four dollars and thirty-five cents for fifty head. He also farms 128 acres besides his own land. Mr. Barber was married March 25, 1894, to Lina ANDERSON, daughter of Marcus and Christina (JACOBS) ANDERSON, of Illinois, and to this union have been born four children, Eva, Lela, Cecil and Dale, all of whom are at home. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson are natives of Norway and came to Illinois where they remained all their lives. (end) I hope this helps you in your research.

Married (Lina or Tina) Anderson, date unknown - can you confirm & amplify? I talked to my Mom this morning, she remembers "Uncle Joe" was indeed a successful hog farmer. I have an old sale flyer she gave me wherein Joe's brother C.W. (my grandfather) and his oldest son (Lake A. Barber) were holding a hog sale near Lane, S. Dak. on Feb 6, 1923. If you like, I can email you a photocopy of this flyer. 2) Joe and C.W. were two of the eleven children born to John Kniseley BARBER and Sarah E. HARTER. There were two other living brothers (Jim and Frank) and six sisters: Chestie Ann, Mary Catherine, Minerva, Arabelle, Maggie Alice, and Effie Irene. I have a complete record of their names and birth dates to share with you, in a Microsoft Word document I can email to you. I also have a photocopy of a family portrait depicting John K and Sarah and all of their living children and can email this to you -- Joe is in that portrait! My Mom is currently reviewing my first draft of updating family records down to the present generation. I will be posting all of this to the Internet, but can share it separately with you if you wish. 3) Jim and Frank went up to South Dakota and talked their brother, Charles William, into emigrating up there from Kirkman Iowa as well. Times were hard, the soil wasn't as good as in Iowa, and there were droughts to deal with. My grandmother never forgave Charles for going too far North, and talked frequently about how she told him it was a mistake. He, being stubborn, ignored her. All 3 brothers settled on farms around Lane, South Dakota and later Frank moved again to Rapid City and founded a dairy. (My Mom's oral history recollections this morning. More research to follow.) 4) Can you confirm the spelling of "Knisely"? I had it as "Knicely" and either way, it wound up being the middle name of my Uncle Leo (still alive) who was apparently teased incessantly about it while growing up... 5) Can you provide any additional details of Barber ancestry? I understand you to say that you are a descendant of James Barber / Mary Maze where James was a brother of John K. You mentioned they had 11 children in Pennsylvania. Please explain again the tie to Michael Maize Barber, B. 1824 / D. 1888. (Maze & Maize spelling variations both appear in the notes which I have inherited.) 6) If you send me your email address I can forward copies materials to you directly. I also have wonderful portraits from two wedding albums; Joe is undoubtedly among them! Regards, Denny / [email protected]

Taken from the 1915 Past and Present of Shelby County Iowa, page 1159: FRED E. BRAZIE. Success in professions is the result of merit and endeavor. In commercial life, one may come into the possession of a lucrative business through inheritance or gift, but professional advancement is gained only by hard study and research. Proper training, thorough business methods and the use of his own good judgment have made Dr. Fred E. Brazie successful as a veterinary surgeon. Dr. Fred E. Brazie, son of Jay V. and Emma (Nance) Brazie, was born June 3, 1883, in Harlan, Iowa. His father was born in Harvey County, NY, in 1854, and came to Shelby County, Iowa, with his parents when he was sixteen years old. He taught school a few years then engaged in farming in Center Township for several years, when he then moved to Harlan and conducted a livery business until 1880. In that year, he disposed of his livery stable and went into the real estate business, following that until his death in 1902. While living in Harlan, he served as deputy county sheriff for one year. Jay V. Brazie was twice married, first in 1879 to Emma Nance. To this union were born three children: Raymond, deceased; Addie, deceased; and Dr. Fred E. His wife died December 28, 1883, and in 1892 he married Minnie M. Longcor, who was born in this county in 1867. She is the daughter of Peter Longcor, who came to this county in 1849. He was born in Athens County, Ohio, in 1814 and was the first man to build a lumber house in Jackson Township in this county. He lived on a farm in that township until his death in 1897. Dr. Fred E. Brazie completed the common and high school course in Harlan at the age of 18, when he entered the Chicago Veterinary College. Graduating from that institution in the spring of 1905, he immediately returned to Harlan and opened his practice. He was appointed assistant state veterinary surgeon of Iowa, a position which he is filling with great credit. He is a young man who promises to become one of the leaders in his profession. Dr. Brazie was married June 29, 1910, to Alice Bacon, who was born in 1883 in Harlan. He and his wife are attendants of the Congregational Church of Harlan. Fraternally, he is a member of the Ancient Free and Accepted Masons and the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. He is a Republican but has never taken an active part in politics. In addition to his regular practice, Dr. Brazie manages 240 acres of land in Douglas Township. He is an extensive breeder of Hereford cattle, this being a very profitable investment. He and R. M. Bacon own the Harlan Ice and Cold Storage Company, manufacturing ice, ice cream and butter. (end) The following BRAZIE family members are buried at Harlan, Iowa: Jay Brazie, b. 1854, d. 23 Feb 1902 Raymond Brazie Fred E. Brazie, b. 1883, d. 1939. I am not related to this family and have no additional information from what is shared here. I hope it is helpful.
