| [note: AKA Albert Kent Barber] Prescott (AZ) Journal-Miner Saturday, March 3, 1923, p 1 c 2 Settler Laid To Last Rest Funeral services for Charles Barber, 55, well known settler of the Walnut Grove district, who died from double pneumonia at Phoenix Tuesday, were held at Walnut Grove Thursday and were attended by a large gathering of friends and acquaintances of the Yavapai pioneer. Mr Barber's death came suddenly, and was directly brought about by the charitable and helpful nature to which all who knew him testify. During a small epidemic of influenza in Phoenix, where he had been living for the past four years, he promptly gave of his time and services to helping those stricken with this disease, with the result that he himself contracted it. His illness rapidly developed into double pneumonia, resulting in his death. Mr Barber was laid to rest at Walnut Grove, among the scenes familiar to him during a residence of 30 years. He is survived by a son, Owen Barber, by his widow and by his widow's brother-in-law and sister, Mr and Mrs George Walker, of this city. See Also: Find A Grave |
