Killed by Auto
The remains of a former resident, Mrs. Emma Barber were brought to the city Saturday morning, and after services at St. Paul's Episcopal church, were laid to rest in the city cemetery by the side of her husband, Clinton Barber, who passed away about a year ago. Rev. L.T. Hardin conducted the services at the church and the cemetery. The pall bearers were her three sons: Harry and Lee Barber of Milwaukee and Guy Barber of Mosinee, a grandson and A. W. Suhrcke and G.W. Zerler. Those who accompanied the remains here were her half-brother, Tom Davidson of Jacksonville, Ill., the three sons, two of the son's wives and a grandson, her daughter, Mrs. C.C. Signer and husband.
Mrs. Barber was run down last week Tuesday, August 3, at the corner of Grand avenue and First street, Milwaukee, and lived but a very short time after being taken to the hospital. The auto which ran over her was being driven by a lady, who disregarded the traffic rules, and kept going when the traffic policeman had given the signal for the cars to stop. A policeman and the traffic man both shouted at her to stop, but she drove on running directly into Mrs. Barber. The daughter, Mrs. Signer, was in San Antonio, Texas, and the arrangements for the funeral were not made until her arrival in Milwaukee.
Mrs. Barber was born at Elkhart Lake, April 11, 1854, and in 1871 was married to Clinton Barber. Her maiden name was Davidson and she was a half-sister of Tom and Mae Davidson, formally of this city. She had lived in Milwaukee since 1902. She was a member of the Rebekahs. There are three grandchildren living, and also the other relatives mentioned.
Research from the Plymouh Historical Society reveal that the Rebekah's are a Fraternal Order but also a Service Organization of the Odd Fellows. Members must be 16-18 years or older, believe in a Supreme Being, Creator and Preserver of the Universe, and be faithful to their Country. Rebekah's exhibit the true principles of Odd Fellowship which are Friendship, Love, and Truth and in this day and age are extended to rendering service to our communities. Service is there goal.
The Independent Order of Odd Fellows was founded on the North American Continent in Baltimore, Maryland, on April 26, 1819 when Thomas Wildey and four members of the Order from England instituted Washington Lodge No. 1. This lodge received its charter from Manchester Unity of Odd Fellows in England. At that time, the city was suffering both a yellow fever epidemic and mass unemployment so they dedicated the organization to "Visit the sick, relieve the distress, bury the dead and educate the orphans."
Odd Fellowship became the 1st national fraternity to include both men and women when it adopted the beautiful Rebekah Degree on September 20, 1851. This degree is based on the teachings found in the Holy Bible, and was written by the Honorable Schuyler Colfax who was Vice President of the United States during the period 1868-1873. Odd Fellows and Rebekahs were also the first fraternal organization to establish homes for our senior members and for orphaned children.
