Obituary of Former Resident of Jasper County.

The following obituary of Daniel F. S. Barkley, a former resident of Jasper county, is taken from the Little River, Kans., Monitor: , Daniel F. S. Barkley, son of Isaac and Nancy Barkley, was bom in Warren county, Ohio, January 9, *1845, and departed this life at his home in .Little River, Kansas, Aug. 4, 1914; aged 69 years, 6 months and 26 days. ; When a child he moved to Indiana with his parents, and at the age of 17 years he enlisted in Co. G, 9th Regiment, Indiana volunteer infantry. He served three years and four months and was wounded in the battle of Nashville, Tenn., Dec. 15, 1864, which rendered him a cripple for life. He was married to Marian M. Main Aug. 31, 1865, and moved to Wisconsin in 1869. To this union were born thre>, children, the eldest dying In Infancy; the daughter, Mrs. George Reisel, of- Lone Rock, Wis., and the son, Bert, of Little River, Kans. Our brother was a member of the G. A. R. Post and for thirty years was a member of the I. O. O. F. He united with the Congregational church of Little River May 6, 1905, where he has oeen a faithful member, present at the services whenever the condition of his health would permit. He leaves to mourn their loss a loving wife, whose first thought for nearly fifty years has beer his comfort, one son, one daughter, six grandchildren, theree sisters, one brother and a multitude of friends, all of whom will long remember him as a patient sufferer, a true friend, a splendid citizen, and a brother in th« large and true sense of the word. The funeral services were held in the Congregation church at 2 o’clock Friday afternoon, and G. A. R. Post comrades and members of Victoria lodge No. 212, L O. O. F., attended in a body and performed their last sad rites in honor and respect of their departed brother. The sermon was preached by his pastor, Rev. B. E. Crane. Interment was made in Bean cemetery. Four of the five shoe factories in St. Loufs of the International Shoe company did not open Monday, as an indirect result of the European war. Seven of twelve factories operated by the company in other cities did not open. It is thought that all the idle factories will reopen Aug. 31. Order your calling cards at The Republican office.

Everyman in this factory is a tire specialist, doing his work with skill and accuracy. Here nothing but tires is made, and every ounce of steam power, every effort of the workmen, every bit of study and thought, are focused on the making of Firestone Tires. This concentration and specialization in production make it possible to give highest quality at a cost no greater than only average tires.
