Arthur B. Barrett, 95, Dies at Home in Cadiz
Arthur B. Barrett, 95, oldest Cadiz citizen and veteran of the Civil war, died at his home here on Tuesday morning, January 14, after a brief illness due to the infirmities of age. His wife, ill with pneumonia, is at the point of death.
Mr. Barrett was born on November 6, 1840, in Flushing township, Belmont county, the son of Meredith and Mary (Baer) Barrett. When a very young man, he moved with his family to Nottingham township, where he spent most of his life as a farmer (specializing in sheep raising.) His relatives were among the first settlers in that township, having followed an Indian trail there just after the break of the nineteenth century.
Mr. Barrett enlisted in Company E of the 88th O.V.I. on June 10, 1862, and served until September of that year. He was a faithful member of the J. S. McCready post, G. A. R. whose membership has dwindled to five, with only ten veterans still living in Harrison county.
He was married three times and all his seven children survive.
His first wife survived but a few days after their marriage. His second wife was Miss Nancy E. Carson, and to them three children were born; Mrs. Smith Jones, W. O. Barrett, and Mrs. Emerson P. Hines of Cadiz. His wife died on November 28, 1871.
On March 30, 1878, Mr. Barrett was married to Miss Anna G. Dicks, of Tuscarawas county. Children surviving from this union are Clarence E. Barrett of Cadiz, Allen L. Barrett of Akron, J. Worthy Barrett of Columbus, and Mrs. Charles Vasbinder of Cadiz. There are also 21 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchidren who, with a multitude of friends, mourn the passing of this well known citizen and soldier.
He was honored with school and township offices while a resident of Nottingham township and always maintained an interest in public affairs.
Services will be held from the home of his son, Clarence, on Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, in charge of his pastor, Rev. W. C. Patterson of the Cadiz M. E. church. Burial will be at Cadiz.
