Death of F. L. Barger.
Squire F. L. Barger died Sunday evening at 4 o'clock at his home in Smith's Valley, of Bright's disease. He had been in poor health for about a year. However, during the past season he had pursued his trade as carpenter and
filled several contracts. In the meantime also he performed his duties as Justice of Peace, a position which he had held for twelve years with much credit to himself and the community.
Mr. Barger was born in Rush county this state, February 28, 1845. He was the son of Washington and Sarah Barger, who were natives of Virginia, but who came to Indiana about 1840. His parents moved to Johnson County in 1857, where the son has ever since resided, an honored and respected
citizen.
For the past eight years Mr. Barger has been the prompt and efficient correspondent of the Democrat at Smith's Valley. His weekly budget of news was always interesting and never failed to come unless prevented by sickness or work which at times called him from his home. Without detracting any
from other correspondents who took an active part in organizing the Democrat Correspondent's Union, it can be justly said that Mr. Barger was the prime mover in this annual gathering. He was the secretary and general manager
the first two years and threw his whole soul into making the annual meetings a success. In this he succeeded. Every correspondent learned to esteem him as a friend and brother. Cheerfully we hear testimony to his worth as a
citizen, to his manly and noble traits of character and to his kind and unselfish steadfastness as a friend. In his death the community loses a good citizen and the Democrat feels that in his death it has sustained a personal loss.
The funeral services were held Wednesday at 10:30 o'clock at the United Brethren church, of which he was a member, and were conducted by Rev. John H. Wyant, of Hamilton County, a former pastor, assisted by Rev. Meyer, of Stones Crossing. A large body of the Masonic lodge of Greenwood and the K. of P. lodge of Stones Crossing attended the funeral in appropriate uniform. The funeral was one of the largest ever held in Smith's Valley.
The remains were laid to rest in Mt. Pleasant cemetery.
