Thomas J. Barber was born October 31, 1847, in Putnam county, Indiana; passed away August 8, 1912, at the age of 64 years, 9 months and 7 days.
In 1860 his parents immigrated from Indiana and settled in Clarke county, Iowa; Thomas was then thirteen years old. In 1867 he was united in marriage with Susan C. Bruommet on the 23d day of May. This union was blessed with two daughters, Emma, who lives in Missouri, and Fanny, residing in Truro. His wife, Susan, died in 1869.
On October 24, 1871, he was united in marriage with Mary P. DeLong, who died in June, 1872. September 20, 1873, he was united in marriage with Mary J. Cooper.

He has been in declining health for some years; just four weeks preceding his death he was stricken with paralysis. Thomas will be missed by his many friends around town who had grown to like him.
