Obituary
Adelaide Isabelle Ware was born in Castleton, Barry Co., Michigan, December 2, 1841 (sic).
There she spent her girlhood days and at the age of twenty was married to Geo. C. Barr, the ceremony taking place on October 31, 1861.
To this union were born eight children, four boys and four girls, all of whom are living, as follows: David H. and Orson M. of Pond Creek, Okla., Ernest S. of Fremont, Neb., Frank C. and Mrs. Cora Davenport of Superior, Mrs. Harry Miner, of Kansas City, Mo., Mrs. E.S. Shepherd of Canon City, Col., and Mrs. F.C. Tinkham of Burdette, Colo. All of these were privileged to be present at the funeral Sunday save Mrs. Shepherd of Canon City, Col.
In the spring of 1889 with her husband and family she came west and located in Republic county (sic), Kansas, and finally removed to Superior, where she spent the last twenty years of her life and where in the early morning of April 1st, 1910, there came to her the still small voice that must speak to us all, and without a murmur, without a complaint, she answered the summons of her great Father who, when our burdens grow too heavy, or our sufferings too great, say "Come to me and I will give you rest."
Mrs. Barr united with the Methodist Protestant church (sic) in Michigan over forty years ago. Upon her removal to Republic, there being no Methodist church (sic) there, she placed her letter with the United Brethren, and was a member of the United Brethren church (sic) of Republic City at the time of her death.
A good wife, a devoted mother, an excellent neighbor and a conscientious Christian, she leaves behind her not only the bereaved and invalid husband and sorrowing children, but a host of relatives and friends to whom her patient uncomplaining life has been a daily example and who loved her dearly and will sincerely mourn her loss.
"THY WILL BE DONE"
How hard it is to say these words at best,
And yet when burdens grow too great
Or our poor poor painracked bodies ache
How sweet it is to know that He
Doth WILL that we shall rest.
