The following information came from an article written by Donald C. Whitehead, great-great-grandson of Isham Washington (Isam) Barber and Margaret Almeda Heath Barber.
Margaret Alameda Heath was the daughter of Thomas Monroe Heath and Adeliza Angelina Hart. Almeda's grandmother, Margaret Hart, ran a Hotel in the Belleview community, later known as Pirtle. Her uncle T. L.Hart, was the Postmaster there. Margaret met and married Isam Washington Barber (November 16, 1844 to December 11, 1913)on August 1864 in Smith Co. Texas. He was the 3rd son and the 5th child of John and Dicey Barber, John and Dicey had come to Rusk County in the 1850's, and are on the 1860 Census.
Isam and Almeda had the following children: Thomas, Eliza, Dicey, James, Lottie, Gertie, Lude, Jim, Monroe and Earl. Lottie married Robert Jefferson Hendon, and they are my great grandparents. My grandmother, Cleotice (Hendon) Whitehead, still lives in their home on the Tyler Highway. Lottie and Jeff bought the place in 1912 and it is right across from the Joe Roughneck Monument on Hwy. 64.
Around 1900, Isam and Almeda Barber moved to Hood County, in the community of Neri, (near Granbury) to be near Almeda's sisters. Almeda and her sisters had been orphaned at an early age and sent to various places. The sisters moved close together there in Hood County, to spend their "twilight years" together.
Isam Barber served in the Civil War from Rusk County, as did his brothers, John and Moses Barber. In 1906, he stated he was born in Upson County, Georgia. He said he was 64 years of age and had served in Company D. Clark's Regiment, Walker's Division of the 14th Texas Infantry. He started trying to get his pension in 1906, but was turned down because Washington had no records of his military duty. Several men came forth and stated they knew him and knew he had served as a Confederate Soldier. He was turned down in 1906, 1907, 1908, 1909 and was finally approved for a pension on September 1, 1913. His first check due December 1, 1913, Isam died December 11, 1913.
Almeda lived until November 15, 1933, when she died at the home of her daughter, Lottie Hendon, in Rusk County.
Isam and Almeda Barber are buried in the Rough Creek Cemetery in Hood County, Texas. From the cemetery you have a beautiful view of the Comanche Peak.
Isam was a brother to my paternal great-great-grandmother, Sarah Ann Barber Bateman.
