General Notes: Husband - Henry Barner

---

He left his old home in Perry County, Pennsylvania, when a young man, accompanied by his brother, George, and took up his residence on Sugar Valley Mountain, one mile north of Loganton, in Clinton County, early in the 1800s. He believed that the soil of the mountain was better than that in the valley, and the land was much cheaper. When he died, his widow was left with the care of a large family, twenty-one children having been born to them, of whom fifteen reached years of maturity.

General Notes: Wife - Susanna Bunce

---

She survived her husband for twenty-four years, was left with the care of a large family, twenty-one children having been born to them, of whom fifteen reached years of maturity. The trials and hardships she was forced to endure in her primitive mountain home were many; the wild animals which haunted the forests often killed her cattle; and she was compelled to work early and late in order to keep her family together until they were able to care for themselves. Her last years were spent with her son, Christian, who operated the old home farm, and there she passed away at the age of seventy-two, her remains being interred in the old cemetery in Sugar Valley.
