Word comes from Pomona, Cal., to the family of Jno. Barber that their son Frank’s young wife died on consumption the 28th of January. This is certainly sad news and the many friends of Frank in this vicinity extend to him their sympathy in is bereavement. It is less than a year since Frank and his bride took up their residence in California, having been married in Wisconsin. (Emmet County Republican, Estherville, IA, February 10, 1898)

The family of John Barber, north of town, received word from Pomona, California, last week that their son’s wife, Mrs. Frank Barber, died on consumption on the 28th of January. This sad news was unexpected by the Barbers and came like a thunderbolt to the family. Frank has many friends in this vicinity who extend to him their sympathy in his hours of sorrow.
