Mrs. William Barker.

Mrs. Thankful ale Barker died in Oswego February 21, 1900. She was born in Sandy Creek, Oswego County, nearly 75 years ago and spent the the early years of her life in that town. She was the daughter of Darius Hale, who married Cornelia Fitch, the oldest daughter of Stephen Fitich, one of the first settlers of Sandy Creek. In the year of 1860 she was married to William Barker, of Oswego, who survives her. Mrs. Barker was an earnest Christian, an exemplary member of Trinity church, a kind neighbor and a faithful friend. For many years an invalid, she had a warm welcome and a pleasant word for every one who visited her and never failed to make a favorable impression of the power of Christian religion to render life pleasant, although shut in from an active church work. A step-son, Albert Barker, of Oneida, and Miss L.A. Barker of Oswego, paid her a beautiful tribute of affection by saying "She has been all a mother could be to us." Her funeral was attended at the family home February 24, 1900, by a large number of friends and burial was in Rural cemetery.
