    Newspaper Article:
    "Local Sayings and Doings" - The venerable Squire Edgar, living a mile north of the village is very ill and not expected to live. While piling wood about two weeks ago he very suddenly lost the use of his legs and fell to the ground almost helpless. He succeeded, however, in crawling into his house on hands and knees and has been confined to his bed since, with no apparent improvement in his condition, so we learn. (Alcona County (MI) Review - Nov 25, 1881)

    Newspaper Obit:
    "Another Pioneer Gone" - Andrew K. Edgar, Esq., one of the pioneer farmers of Harrisvile township, is no more, his death having occurred at his residence one mile north of this village, Sunday morning last, after an illness of seven weeks. Mr. Edgar was born in the state of Vermont in March 1802, and consequently at the time of his death was past 79 years of age. After spending the greater part of his manhood in his native State, he subsequently moved to Detroit, Mich., but in what year we have not been informed. Here he met with Margaret Warrington, whose hand in marriage he courted and finally won in 1855, and now survives his death with a family of three sons and four daughters. Eighteen years ago last May the deceased removed to this county, and located a farm just above the village of Harrisville, where he remained to the day of his death. He always bore prominent part in township and county matters, and was elected Justice of the Peace for several terms. In his death Harrisville township loses one of her oldest citizens and public benefactors.
    Funeral services of the deceased were held from the M.E. church Monday afternoon. The attendance of friends and neighbors was unusually large. (Alcona County (MI) Review - Dec 30 ,1881)

    We have no record for this family but in Nov 1990, a gr-grandson, Mr. Gary Holmes of Grand Blanc, Michigan phoned, followed by a letter, which was passed to a Barber relative. This past winter I wrote Mr. Holmes at the address on the letter but had no reply. He did state that the Death Certificate was filed in Alcona Co., Michigan, no other info - Jim Richards

    Jim was very strict with his family. He would tell his family that they would do whatever they were told. Would hold his son Jim & not let him talk - Forest Lee Barber (grandson)

    A Mr. Koon was stealing Jim's moonshine. Jim would see him sneaking down and take a drink on a continuing basis. Jim filled the bottle with kerosene instead of moonshine. When Mr. Koon sneaked down & took a big drink, he threw the bottle down & never stole any of Jim's moonshine again - Anabell Barber Richards

    All the family was down to help Jim & Cora put in a new foundation for the house. Instead of digging, the men were down in in the cellar drinking & were getting quite drunk. Myoma, Forest Barber's wife, told some of the kids to go down and get one of the bottles. She pissed in the bottle and sent it back down with the kids. Orval Richards, the husband of Annabell Barber, grabbed that particular bottle, took a drink, spit it out and commented that "it tasted like warm piss" - James Robert Peake

    From Jim Richards notes:

    "In the early 1830's, Eustache Barbary came to McNab Twp. with a Mr. Brent to take out lumber. According to legend, Eustache came to the home of James Headrick in Pakenham to sharpen his axe and there met 17 year old Isabella. It was "love at first sight" and although James Headrick didn't approve of such a marriage (French & RC), in time he realized the good qualities of Eustache, who was known as the "Peacemaker", a strong man who often "picked up an Indian who misbehaved at the Inn and set him where he pleased". Isabella's father stipulated that Eustache must be known as Hugh Barber and on Isabella's 18th birthday, Jan 23, 1835, the young couple were married by Rev. Mr. Fairbairn at Auld Kirk, her father having loaned them a jumper sleigh and team and a broadaxe as protection from the Indians (per legend). Also it is said that the local Indian women had made Isabella a wedding dress and a blue cape lined with white fabric. The church record shows the witnesses were brother James and Robert Yuill. Robert is thought to have married a Janet Headrick (not related to this family).

    Land records for McNab Twp., Con.3, lot 3 have not been checked but this was the 1st home for the couple (near White Lake village). It was busy times. the 1851 census showed several children and men boarding at the house who were working for Mr. Barber in lumbering. In 1861 & 71, school taxes for Pakenham Twp. shows the family also lived "up the lake" at Con.1, lot 25E, Pakenham. Detailed maps will show a small island offshore named Barber Island. In time, Mr. & Mrs. Barber moved back to the 1st home in McNab Twp., no longer standing but near the house built by son William Barber for his family.

    Renfrew Mercury, 9 Nov 1900 - DIED:

    "One of the oldest residents of McNab passed away on Saturday, Nov 3 after a very painful illness which was born with great patience. Funeral followed on Monday to the White Lake cemetery, attended by a large number of friends.

    White Lake News, Nov 1900 - DIED:

    "Mr. Eustache Barber, who died at White Lake on Nov. 3rd, aged 90 years, was born in St. Eustache Quebec in 1811. His parents came from Old France, likely under the name Barbeau. He came to McNab in 1833, engaged to one John Brill, who was lumbering in the township at the time, and was married to Isabella Headrick (eldest daughter of James Headrick, formerly of Lanark Twp.) in 1835. He leaves to mourn his departure a widow, 5 boys and 6 girls. He was a devoted husband and affectionate father.

    From Rev. David Graham, Presbyterian Minister, White Lake & Burnstown, who attended him during his last illness:

    "It is with great pleasure that I testify to the simple childlike faith in the Lord Jesus Christ of the late Mr. Barber during his last illness. In my conversations with him I found that he possessed a wonderful memory, a thoughful mind and an anxious spirit by which he was very soon able, after a simple and clear presentation to the plan of salvation, according to the New Testament teaching, to grasp the truth, namely that out of Christ, there's no salvation & that a new birth and faith in Jesus Christ, and not good works, was essential to salvation. His vision grew brighter and faith stronger as the end approached, and I am fully persuaded that he was enabled to pillow his dying head on the promises of Christ and to pass with the Redeemed into the Eternal City.

    McNab Twp. records show that no break has yet occurred in the family of eleven children. Grandchildren living number 78 and 60 great grandchildren.
