1904
In 1904 Jim went back to Harrisville and stayed with his uncle Nicholas.
Cora went down to the train station to meet him when she was pregnant with Forest Lee Barber. There was no one there to meet her so she sat down on a timber pile and began to cry. Forest (Bub) was born in Harrisville in Sep of 1904. Also, Mary Louise was born in Harrisville in July 1906.

The family was extremely hard-up. Once while Jim was down in the lower Peninsula working with his uncle Nicholas, Cora sent her oldest boy, James Earl, to the grocery store to get a loaf of bread on credit until Jim returned from the lower pennisula. The store owner would'nt give it to him so Cora and her kids went and searched garbage cans for something to eat.
At night Cora would have to leave a coal-oil lantern burning on the table becasue the rats would jump up onto the table in search of food.

Jim would come home durnk and be unable to climb the stairs to the house porch. He told Cora that the reason he couldn't climb the stairs was because of his rhumetism.
1921
Moved up the hill next to Edna just west of Newberry. Lived in a converted schoolhouse.
Note: Jim had a cousin William Barber who was a lawyer in Alpena. He always referred to him as that crooked lawyer.
=
Just prior to Christmas Jim was drinking and speeding up Dollarville Road. He was pulled over by the police and taken to jail. There he remained until Christmas day when a local lawyer in Newberry was able to get him out of jail.
Jim found out that George Clark the proprietor of a local store in Dollarville had turned him in to the police and was the cause of his arrest. Jim harbored ill feelings toward George Clark long after that time. In 1936, Jim was down visiting his daughter Annabell at her home in Dollarville, Mi. He and Annabell's husbnd Tarzen where sitting there drinking beer. After downing several beers Jim found out that Tarzen had purchased the beer at George Clark's store. He jumped up, ran out into the yard and stuck his finger down his throat to throw up the beer that Tarzen purchased from George Clark..
Mrs. Cook always seemed stuck up to Jim's daughter Annabell. She was a real little, homely women. Annabell later learned that the reason she would not acknowledge Annabell is because she was having an affair with Jim Barber. Annabell overheard her mother asking her father if he was going to her funeral and he said no. Jim had lots of affairs when he was younger. Cora was sickly and couldn't do anything about it. One affair he had was with Cora's sister Edna. Edna's husband committed suicide and she eventually moved in with Jim and Cora. She was living with them when Edna was born. Edna's daughter asked Annabell if she saw her mother come out of Jimmy's bedroom. Cora was down in lower Michigan visiting relatives at the time.
Moonshine
Jim used a clothes boiler to make his mooneshine in his kitchen. When he was ready to brew he would close all the windows and doors and had his son Earl out to keep people away. He would then have his dad help bottle and cap it. James Earl, who just returned from service in WWI, would put on his uniform and march back and forth with his rifle as though he were a military sentry.
The police arrested Jim for making moonshine and he was sent to Marquette prison for a short time.
Jim made and sold moonshine during prohibtion. He would take his daughter Annabell, a suitcase full of moonshine and travel to uptown Newberry where he would go to the local hotel and pretend he was from out of town. While there, he would unload his moonshine wares.
Jim would send the kids up to Lavender's Bakery to purchase the yeast for his moonshine. After brewing the potions of moonshine, he would carry it into the post office, put it down and do whatever business he had to do there. Then he would pick it up and take it to McLains in the Long Branch saloon. That is where he would sell it.
Jim found an easy way to get rid of the mash from his moonshine business. He would dig a hole in the pen where he kept his pigs and bury the mash. This was supposedly a safe place. What he didn't calculate for was that the pigs would root up the mash and eat it. This they did and they became gloriously drunk. Cora not knowing that the pigs had consummed the mash became hysterical because she thought all the pigs were sick and dying.
He worked at a small park at East Lake as an attendant. Often women would come by and have him take their picture. He would only shoot their legs. The next year they would return and show him the picture.
