The family lived in Iowa and South Dakota, and in the year 1888 Frances Page was united in marriage with Frank Barr. They were the parents of seven children, three sons dying in infancy and one daughter, Mrs. Hazel Jones, passed away about five years ago.

Two daughters and one son remain, as follows; Mrs. Will Nall, of Akron; Mrs. Charles Oberg, of Beresford, S. D., and Hayes Barr, of Akron.
