Funeral services for Henry Barth were held this morning at nine-thirty at the Evangelical church. Mr. Barth passed away Monday morning at his country home north of Culbertson after an illness of several years. The Rev. H.A. Norenberg officiated at the services. Special selections were sung by a quartet consisting of Mrs. C.J. Kern, Mrs. George Hein, Everett Kern, and Henry Hein. Pade & Herrmann of McCook were the funeral directors. Interment was made in the Culbertson cemetery.
On June 7, 1883 a baby boy was born on the Barth farm just north of Culbertson. The parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Barth, named their son Henry. He grew to manhood in this community, and it remained his home down thru the years until the time of his death, Monday morning, July 5, 1938. He attained the age of 55 years and 28 days.
Although some may not call him a pioneer, yet the number of those is small who have lived here longer than he did. During these years many changes have taken place in this community and his quiet influence has helped to bring some of them to pass.
He has been a valuable member of the Evangelical church for many years and has taken an active part in its program and its support. He has long been a member of the official board. He was also a good friend of the ministers who served this church. He will be greatly missed in the church circle.
But he was also a good husband and father and his going has left a vacancy in the home that can never be filled.
He was married to Miss Lydia Hock on December 6, 1911. Five children were born to their home, one of which died in infancy.
Mr. Barth had been in rather poor health for several years. He sought medical aid in various places. Last fall he went to Lincoln where his condition was diagnosed as incurable. From that time on his strength gradually decreased until death itself came to him at his home north of Culbertson and released him from the struggle of life.
He leaves to mourn his going his widow, Mrs. Barth; three sons, Ira, Clarence, and Willis; and one daughter, Leona, all living at home; and four sisters, Mrs. Anna Crom, Wymore, Nebraska; Mrs. Millie Mobre of Notus, Idaho; Mrs. Pauline Burt of Salt Lake City, Utah; and Mrs. Ida Meininger of Fort Morgan, Colorado, besides many other relatives and friends.
"Our knowledge of that life is small, The eye of faith is dim, But 'tis enough that Christ knows all, And I shall be with Him."
