Death of Mrs. C. C. Barry

The death of Mrs. Charles C. Barry last Tuesday evening, November 29th, 1904, at her home at Barryville was not made any the less sad to her friends from the fact that for some time death was known to be hovering very near. For a number of weeks, Mrs. Barry has been suffering from Brights disease and during the last few days she was so low that her friends could see the end was not far away.

Hortense Trenchard, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Trenchard of this city, was born in Manchester, May 6, 1867, and here she grew to womanhood, spending her life among the friends of her lifetime. She graduated from the Manchester High School with the class of 1884 and later engaged most successfully as a teacher in the public schools of Delaware County. On the 20th of September, 1885, she was wedded to Charles C. Barry and since that time Mr. and Mrs. Barry have lived on their large farm at Barryville. One daughter, Leah, aged eleven, the husband, and Mrs. Barry's parents survive her and to the bereaved relatives in their sorrow over the passing of their loved one, the sympathy of the entire community is extended.

Mrs. Barry was a woman of rare gifts of mind and character. Admirable in disposition, exceptionally bright intellectually and quick of wit, refined, a true and lovable woman, she was the life of many of the social and literary circles in Manchester. Twice she had been elected to the high position of Most Excellent Chief of Hypatia Temple, Rathbone Sisters, a seat she occupied at the time of her death. In the Iowa Grand Temple, Rathbone Sisters, she also held the important office a few years ago Grand Junior enacting the roll of the office during a term of three years with credit to herself and Hypatia, her home temple. She was also a worthy member of the Orient chapter, Order Eastern Star and both orders went out to Barryville in a body to be present at the funeral services.

In the circles in Manchester of her immediate home vicinity at Barryville where Mrs. Barry's presence was ever a note of pleasure, she will be sadly missed. But nowhere can the feeling of loss so keenly enter as in the home where her kindly cheer and helpfulness made her an exemplarly wife and mother.

The funeral was held Thursday morning at the Barry house in Barryville, Rev. Wagner of the Methodist church officiating. Interment being made in the Manchester cemetery.
