Newton County Sentinel: The Thomas Barker homestead in Jackson township is practically a thing of the past. The old frame house where, in the early days, everybody found a welcome around the old brick fire place and enjoyed themselves listening to Uncle Tom’s stories of pioneer life in western Indiana, has become the abode of bats and owls. The homestead has been divided up among numerous heirs. Uncle Tom sleeps in the ohurch yard at North Star. His wife and daughter Anna and three sons, Samuel, John and Tommy have crossed the "Dark River,” while three other sons are living in the far West. His daughter, Mrß. Malinda Sayler, and his grand son, Martin Barker, are the only two representatives of the family still living in this oounty. As my lease on store does not expire until Maroh Ist I will continue in business until then, and I’ll oontinue selling goods at reduced prices. L. W ildbeeg, Clothier.
