BARR JAMES (deceased), farmer; born May 12, 1808, in Tennessee. Mr. Barr was one of the pioneer settlers of Logan Co. having come to this county in 1829, then in the 21st year of his age. He enlisted in the Black Hawk war. in 1832, and served all through that conflict of pioneer times. He was married in 1826 to Margaret Houchins, who was born in 1808, in Warren Co. Ky. In politics Mr. B. was always a democrat. He was a life-long member of the Methodist church. In his home, surrounded by his wife and children, Mr. Barr showed the happiest phases of his character; as a husband, he was kind; as a father, he was just and generous. He became the father of nine children, seven of whom are living. Their names are : ' Levisa, Nancy, Lucinda, Mellisa, George W., Philadelphia, Mary, Eliza J. and Olive F. On the 16th of October, 1877, in the 69th year of his age, Mr. Barr closed his earthly life. His work being finished, he folded his arms from toil, and closed his eyes to scenes of human conflict. The men who, like James Barr, stood in front and fought the battles of pioneer life, will not soon pass from human memory
