| Notes |
- While they moved their house across the ice on Hubbard Lake, Cora baked bread.
Jim Barber came home one time and found Cora trying to kill herself with poison; he stopped her from it. She had a rough life. When Jim got older, they got a long better then.
"Cora Mae Hilliard, the daughter of Stephen and Lucy Hilliard, came to bless their pioneer home on the second day of May, 1877, in Onekama Township. She spent her childhood and attended a country school where she, with several sisters and brothers, was bereft of a mothers care at a tender age, but carried on as best she could until she reached the age of 19, when uncle Al Hilliard, visited the family and on his return to the upper peninsula Cora Mae accompanied him and was a welcome addition of his household until she met James Barber whom she married at Grand Marais. The Barbers celebrated their golden wedding three years ago this January at their home in Newberry, their six children attending - Earl of Manitowoc, Wis., and Forest of Newberry, Louise Peake and Annabelle Richards of Detroit, Irene Carlson and Edna Vogel of Newberry. All were home this past November 25th when mother made her last journey. (A son, Roy, passed away in infancy.) The husband and four sisters also survive - Edna Hase of Munising, Kate Buckner, Bear Lake, Martha Smith, Onekama, and Lulu Krantz of Florida and two brothers, Charles Hilliard of Oregon and Walter Hilliard of Pontiac. Mrs. Barber had been a patient at the Taquamenon Hospital several weeks, a patient sufferer, and when death released the mortal body on November 25th only loving memories were left of the once= home, and they will live throughout eternity. The beautiful flowers spoke volumes of love for her whom they all knew and loved so well. Services were held at the Beauliew Funeral Home, and internment was at Forest Home Cemetery, Newberry.
Roses all radiance, mystery fragerance, fluttering, soaring, in secret restoring, on leap-wings that hold you, from sealed buds that fold you, hasten to blow! Open the springtime, green and aglow; bring paradise down to the sleeper below - Goethe' " -
