Homer's first permanent and successful merchant came in 1811, and shortly thereafter opened his Great Western Store.
From the "Cortland Democrat", issue 28 April 1876, was the following:
Another venerable patriarch has gone to his rest. The pioneer merchant of Homer is dead. Jedediah BARBER died on the evening of the 19th inst., aged 89 years. His funeral occurred at his late residence on Saturday last, and was very largely attended. While engaged in the Mercantile trade, he accumulated a large fortune. He was a good citizen and a public spirited man. The monuments of his wisdom and his worth are scattered all over the village. His hope of a joyous immorality in the world beyond was clear, and his end was a peaceful calm.
Died. BARBER. - In Homer, on the 19th inst., Mr. Jedediah BARBER, aged [90?] years and 9 days. He died at the residence which he erected 53 years ago.
