J. P. BARROW
Mr. J. P. Barrow died at his home in this city on Tuesday morning, March 19, after an illness of only ten days with blood poisoning. A week ago last Saturday he bruised the back of his hand on the door frame and the following day blood poisoning set in which resulted in death in a very short time.
Funeral services, conducted by his pastor, Rev. Wilson Mills, were held at the Baptist church on Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock, under the auspices of the Masonic order, of which he was a respected member. The remains were followed to their last resting place in the Chariton cemetery by a large concourse of sorrowing friends.
John P. Barrow was born in Monroe county, Indiana, on August 4, 1825. He came to Chariton at an early day, staying here a short time, then going to Missouri. In 1861 he returned to Chariton where he has since resided.
In 1844 he was married to Miss Ruth Prather and to them were born three children, Mrs. Lizzie Harris, who died in 1883, Mrs. Hannah Piper of this city and Mr. David Barrow of Alva Oklahoma. His first wife died and he was again married on January 13, 1861, to Miss Remembrance Wright, who died on December 31, 1899, less than three months ago.
Mr. Barrow was converted and united with the Baptist church several years ago and has since lived an earnest Christian life.
Mr. Barrow was quiet and unassuming, but he was precise and businesslike in his dealings. He was an estimable gentleman, and in his death the city loses and exemplary citizen. Through his long and useful earthly journey he ever tried to make the most of the opportunities of life, and was kind and charitable to those about him. No man in the community has been held in more high esteem than Mr. Barrow, and his death has caused extreme sorrow. To the bereaved relatives the sympathy of a large circle of friends is extended.
