I have no personal knowledge of this tragedy. I checked a couple of history books I have (one on Barker's Point; the other on Devon) but found nothing relevant. I did find this info on the tombstones of these people but you probably already have this: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nbyork/cem/douglas.html And of course you can find his attestation papers at: http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/cef/001042-119.02-e.php?image_u rl=http://data2.archives.ca/cef/well2/227623a.gif&id_nbr=24641 Other than that, I'm afraid I can't help you. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Beverley Clarkson Sent: 03 November 2009 14:38 To: [email protected] Subject: [ NB ] Barker family of Devon, NB I am tracing down the family of *John S Barker* ( 1831-1912) and my great great aunt,*Sarah Love Barker* (1840-1937) and their grandson *Charles Benjamin Barker* who was killed in WWI in 1918, less than 2 months after joining up. His parents were *Judson Barker*( 1861-1925) and *Isobella Bain*(1867-1918) who died three weeks after her son. i recall my grandmother telling me some 50 years ago that there was a tragic story there and I m wondering if anyone can tell me. I ll be thinking of him on Nov 11 as it seems noone else is likely to. But perhaps there were others in the family or someone might know where he was taken down. I ve done PANB, Veterans Affairs and Ancestry so am hoping someone has more personal infomration. -- Beverley Clarkson Sambro Head, Nova Scotia ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List Announcements can be found at http://www.rootsweb.com/~nbcharlo/nblistann.htm ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
