He leaves a wife and three children, Mrs. Bower of Kansas City, Mrs. Hosmer of St. Joseph, and Mrs. O. H. Johnson. He carried life insurance policies to the amount of $5,000.

Obituary.
Died, at his residence on South Market street, Holden, Mo., April 21st, Edward Porter Barrett. Deceased was born in Brookfield, Mass., January 19, 1827. He was married July 22nd, 1848 to Miss Susan Hildreth, at Brattleboro, Vt. He made the trip to California on the discovery of gold in that territory. Returning, he resided for a time at Utica, N. Y. Later, he came west to Chicago, thence to the pineries of Michigan. After two years he returned to Chicago, and from there to Avon, Ill.
At the outbreak of the war he enlisted and served as 1st Lieutenant in Co. G, 30th Ill Vols. He was in the engagements at Forts Henry and Donelson, and at Pittsburg Landing. After about two years of service he was discharged for disability.
He has been a citizen of Holden for about 20 years, and for several years kept hotel, first the Bell House and afterwards the Talmage House. In later years he has traveled for the Etna Insurance Co. He was a member of the Masonic Order for many years. He was the last living of his father's family. Of his own family the wife and three daughters remain, Mrs. Hosmer residing in Chicago, Mrs. Bower in Kansas City, the youngest, Mrs. Johnson, with her home in Holden, travels with a dramatic troupe. Two daughters deceased are buried, the one at Avon, Ill., the other Mrs. Matie Williams, in the Holden cemetery.
For a number of months he has been in failing health, and was aware that it must terminate fatally at an early date. He faced the fact heroically, put his business in order, making every arrangement possible for the comfort of his family. He expressed an entire absence of fear of death, and said that he was ready, even preferred death to living in suffering and as a charge on his friends.
Funeral services were held at the residence on Monday afternoon by Revs. Lunbeck and Maynard, all daughters being present. A large concourse of friends attended.
