General Notes: Husband - Daniel M. Bare


He was largely interested in the manufacture of paper at Roaring Springs, Blair County, Pennsylvania.

At the old family homestead he passed his youth and early manhood, his educational advantages being such as could be obtained in neighboring district schools. After his marriage he conducted the business of milling in company with his father in South Woodberry. In 1860 he engaged in merchandising at Waterside, and in the latter year located at Pattonsville, Bedford County, where until 1864 he operated a store and two mills with his father as a partner. In 1863 his attention was directed to Roaring Spring, then only a small hamlet, but to his keen perceptions a place likely to develop. At all events he removed thither in 1864 and opened a store, despite the fact that several similar ventures at that point had resulted in failures. His father was associated with him in the new departure, which included milling as well as store-keeping at the new village. From 1867 on, he conducted the business solely for his own account. In 1868 he erected a fine grist-mill, which he carried on until 1879, when he leased it. In 1865, Mr. Bare formed with others the firm of Eby, Morrison & Co., for the purpose of engaging in the manufacture of paper at Roaring Spring. The mill was completed in 1866, and became a flourishing industry. In 1876 the firm-name became Morrison, Bare & Cass. They built in 1880 at Tyrone a second mill, and thereafter Mr. Bare was the resident partner and manager of the Roaring Spring mill. Its production of white paper reached seven tons each twenty-four hours. The employes numbered about one hundred.
Mr. Bare was among the foremost of the workers whose efforts brought the railway to Morrison's Cove, while he was one of the projectors and long a director of the Newry Railroad Company. He was commissioned postmaster of Pattonsville in 1860, and was postmaster at Roaring Spring beginning in 1864.
He was a stanch Republican and a strong advocate of anti-slavery. For some years he was a member of the Church of God, and for about ten years was an elder in the organization, and one of the most earnest workers therein. He ws a member of the board of publication conducting The Church Advocate (published at Harrisburg), and a trustee of Findlay College, at Findlay, Ohio, an institution founded and controlled by the Church of God.
