| Text | Mrs. J. N. Barr of Exeter died Saturday Nov 4, following an illness of only one day. She was taken suddenly ill Friday with hemorrhage of the brain and lived on about twenty-four hours. Her sudden death came as a great surprise to the members of her family and to her neighbors and friends. Mrs. Barr was born in Iowa in 1858. She had lived in this county for many years. The family has lived at Exeter ever since the town started in 1881. She leaves a husband, J. N. Barr, and five children. The children are Robert Barr, Mrs. Pat Bayless, Mrs. Chas Bates, Mrs. Horace Packwood and Glenn Barr. Glenn is still at Home. Mrs. Barr was a member of the Presbyterian Church at Exeter as long as that church had an organization at Exeter. She was an excellent Christian lady and her sudden death brings grief to the entire community in which she lived. Funeral services were held at the Baptist Church in Exeter Sunday afternoon and her body laid to rest in the Maple Wood cemetery. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. C. M. Smith.
