Batavia, Genesee County, NY Batavia Paper (unknown name - probably the Batavia Daily) November 14th or 15th, 1904 MRS. JAMES BARR OF BERGEN Her Death at the Age of 74 Years - Was Born in the Town of Le Roy Bergen, Nov. 14 - Mrs James BARR died yesterday morning at 7 o'clock, aged 74 years. The cause of her death was a cancer on the liver. The maiden name of Mrs. BARR was Mary CAMPBELL and she was a daughter of Archibald and Catherine CAMPBELL of Le Roy. She was born November 3, 1830, and lived on the home farm until her marriage to James BARR, November 15, 1850, when she became a resident of Bergen. Fourteen years were spent on the farm north of the village and forty years on the townline road farm. She was the mother of three daughters and one son. Only one of the children, Mrs. A. LUSCHER of Le Roy, is living. On March 31, 1882, Mrs. BARR united with the Congregational church, of which the Rev. D. D. McCOLL was at the time the pastor, on profession of her faith. All who knew her can testify to the influence her faith had on her life, and to the comfort it gave her in prospect of death. During her last illness she suffered much, but uncomplainingly, and when death came it found her prepared to depart in peace. Besides her husband she leaves seven grandchildren, two of whom, James and Mary BARR, have always lived with their grandparents, and two sisters, Mrs. E. HAULENBECK [sic] of Bergen and Mrs. Margaret C. DOUGLAS of Le Roy. The funeral will be held at the house on Wednesday afternoon at 1 o'clock, the Rev. Seth COOK conducting the service. ******************* Submitted by Joan Falcone Arnold - Jma8763@aol.com (above Mary CAMPBELL BARR was a sister to my g-g-grandmother, Nancy [Daisy] CAMPBELL FAGAN) Copied from Obit books at Genesee County History Department
