The Current Wave, Thursday, 6 Jan 1898

FROM:

The old Mr. Barkley, father of John and Mac Barkley, living just north of town, died on Monday of this week. The old gentleman had been in bad health for a long time and his demise was not a surprise to those who knew of his condition. He died on Jan 3 1898.

10 Jan 1919

Miss Lillie Barkley who went to California a few months since, died first of the week with pneumonia that developed from a dreadful epidemic of influenza that has numbered its victims by the thousands. The remains were returned to the home grounds for burial by the side of her mother at the new cemetery (Pine Lawn).

OBIT:

17 Jan 1919

Lillie Barkley daughter of John and Nora Harder Barkley and granddaughter of Judge Thomas Harder was born 18 Apr 1896. She departed this life in Taft, CA 12 Dec 1918, age 22 yrs 8 months and 10 days. She professed religion at the age of 16 yrs and united with the Christian Church. Lillie was a young lady of unusual merit. Kind, thoughtful, unselfish, with a strong ambition to fill well a large sphere in life. Only a short time before she was stricken with influenza, which developed into pneumonia, she wrote her friends of her success in her work and of her plans for a happy future. She was planning for a happy home for herself and her loved ones. But God’s plan was, we trust, better a home where all may meet and rejoice, no sorrow, no sickness, no death. Services were conducted by Rev. A. R. McClellan at the Christian Church on Sat Jan 4 in the presence of a large company of friends and loved ones, after which the body was buried by the side of her mother and father in the new cemetery. This was written by Rev. A. R. McClellan.

Local matters:

John Barkley, living 3 mi so of Bartlett, was shot in the arm and hip Monday night by some unknown person. He had gone to the woodpile to get some pine when the shot was fired from the brush. It is not known who made this cowardly attempt to take Mr. Barkley’s life, but a man named Ben Kirby is suspicioned. About 2 yrs ago Barkley testified against Kirby in a counterfeiting case and Kirby made his threat that he would kill Barkley after his release from the penitentiary to which he had been sentenced. Kirby was released recently.
