Obituary Xenia Gazette May 25, 1900:
EDWARD BARRETT,
The many friends in this city of Mr. J. E. Barrett, a former resident of Xenia, will be pained to learn of his death, which occurred at his home near Spring Valley yesterday. He had been ailing for the past two or three years and gradually failing in health, but had not been confined to his bed entirely until two or three days prior to his death. He was able to be up and about on last Sunday and Monday. He had stomach trouble and other complications. Mr. Barrett was a life-long resident of this county and was about fifty-eight years of age. Most of his life was spent on the farm about three miles west of Spring Valley, but he is best known to Xenians as proprietor of the livery barn in this city. He built the barn on South Detroit street, now occupied by Mr. Frank Paukett, and for fourteen years was engaged there in the livery business. He sold out here about six years ago, moving from Xenia at that time and afterward taking up his residence again on the farm. His wife, who survives him, is a daughter of the late L. D. Jones, of this city. The following children survive: Frank, Dwight, and John, Adelaide, wife of Mr. Thirl Skinner, and Mrs. Retta Plant, of Zanesville. Mr. Barrett served in the army as a member of Co. E, 12th O. V. I. He enlisted under the first call for troops under Captain Galloway and served all through the war. Mr. Barrett was quiet in his manner but was a good citizen and leaves many friends to mourn his loss. He was a member of the U. V. L. Camp of this city. The funeral will be held at his late residence Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. The burial will be at Woodland cemetery, Xenia.
