General Notes: Husband - John D. Barr

---

He attended the district schools of Brown township, Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, and worked for his father until his twenty-sixth year. He then farmed the homestead for six years. The ensuing nine years he spent on a rented farm. His labors were successful, and in 1856, he purchased the John Byler farm, which consisted of 110 acres, and farmed there for two years. In 1876 he purchased the James Bailey farm, also including 110 acres. He retired from farming in 1863. [Dates are given in the source, but something does not seem right about them.] Mr. Barr was a Republican; he served one term as a county auditor and was county commissioner.
