THOMAS and ALLIE (Kincaid) BARR

Harry Watts Barr was born September 14, 1867 in Gilmer, West Virginia to Thomas and Alice Barr., and they're in Roane County, WV  in 1870.  Thos. is 26, Ally L. 28, Harry W. 2, and Charles is four months.  In 1880;  Harry is 12, Charles C. 10, Oley H. 7, Willie Guy 5, and Lizzie G. 3.  (has to be Elizabeth Gertrude)

In 1885 they're in Lancaster County, Nebraska.- Harry, 17,  is the oldest of six.  Charley is 15, Otie 12, Guy 10, Gertrude 8, and Brenn 4.

In 1888 the Holyoke State Herald was against "Dr." Barr running for commissioner.  "Dr. Barr, democratic candidate for commissioner, now says he entered the rebel army as a volunteer.  Some of the democratic papers in their unwise zeal for the election of the 'old soldier' have claimed that he was conscripted.  It is always best to vote for the man whose past record needs no apology."

Marriage license was issued on the 21st to Mr. Harry Barr, son of Dr. Barr, who was a candidate for the office of treasurer in Phillips County, and Miss 
Myrtle Graham of Eckley. We have since learned that the young couple are married. May bright smiles, the song of birds and beautiful flowers greet them on their journey through life, and when death shall come may many a little Barr, bound 
together by the strong bonds of love and the web of kindness stand around them and buoy them up in their last expiring moments. - Yuma Pioneer, reported in the Holyoke State Herald of January 1890.

On June 30, 1891 Harry W. Barr cash-claimed the southwest quarter of Section 24, 7N 47W - which would be between Paoli and Haxtun.

Thomas Barr, residing at Lewisburg, Virginia (Greenbrier County) , enlisted March 23, 1863 at Lewisburg in Company K,Virginia14th, Cavalry - 5ft. 8 in. light complexion, blue eyes, dark brown hair.

Thomas Barr, age 23, born in Amherst County, married A.F. Kincaid, 24 in Greenbrier County, Virginia (now West Virginia) on August 22, 1866.  His father was Thomas, his mother Elizabeth.  A.F.'s father was John, her mother Mary.

This matches the 1850 census of Campbell County, Virginia, of Thomas, 6, son of Thomas 50 and Eliza 44 Barr.  They have John 8, Ann J. 7, Thomas 6, James 3, Margaret 2, Rebecca Smith 60 and Jane Byers 35.   One tree said that Thomas was born March 15, 1944 in Amherst County Virginia, and his mother was Elizabeth O'Conner.

Thomas Barr was the postmaster at Reedy, Roane County, in 1869 (A Collison was his predecessor, which may explain the middle name of Charles Collison Barr)

BARR:
Dr. Thomas Barr, son of Thomas and Elizabeth (O'Connor) Barr; the father,
Thomas, was born in Edinburg, Scotland; the mother, in Dublin, Ireland. Both
died in Lynchburg, Virginia, he in 1851, she 1853, Thomas, Jr., subject of
this sketch, being nine years old when his mother died. Dr. Thomas
Barr was born in Amherst County, Virginia, March 15, 1844; he does not
tell how or where he grew up in his biography dictated to Hardesty's about
the year 1883. En-listed in the Confederate army, 1862, Co. K, 14th Va.
cavalry; as served, he was only twenty years old when he enlisted. As the Virginia
cavalry furnished its own mounts, he must have been a young man of promise.
He served through this war, coming out unscathed. In Greenbrier County,
August 22, 1866, he married Allie F., daughter of John and Mary (Hyde)
Kincaid; three years later they arrived in Roane County, their first born
with them; they made their first home at Peniel on upper Reedy; from which
point the doctor went out plying his profession, soon gaining a good
reputation as an efficient and kindly physician.
He makes no mention in his biography where or when he obtained his medical
knowledge; he was liked and succeeded. After a few years at Peniel he moved
his family to Reedy where he lived for some years in the neatest and best
kept residence of the village, the leading physician for nearly ten years.
About the year 1884, the family moved to the State of Colorado.
To Dr. Thomas Barr and Allie F. (Kincaid), his wife, were born in years prior
to their departure for Colorado the following children:
Harry W., September 14, 1868; Charles C., February 4, 1870; Otey H., December
11, 1872; Willy G., October 24, 1877; Walter B., August 21, 1880; Emma G.,
December 21, 1882. Though there is not one of this estimable man's family in
this State, and maybe not one will ever see this, oblivion shall not claim
them.

 

One tree said that "Alley" was the daughter of John Dean Kincaid, who married Polly Hyde in 1816 in Greenbrier, W.V.  The tree said Polly died February 10, 1843 in Greenbrier County, and is buried in the Kincaid Cemetery, Greenbrier County.  The tree also said John died February 13, 1843.

Dr. Thos. Barr

A Most Popular Citizen and an Enterprising Business Man.

(Photo - Residence of Dr. Thos. Barr)

     Among those who are contributing generously towards the material progress and prosperity of Wray, the above gentleman occupies a most prominent position.

     Dr. Barr is a native of Virginia, where he studied for the medical profession. He began the practice of medicine in West Virginia in 1871 and after thirteen successful years he moved to Nebraska, where he engaged in his profession for many years. Having concluded to abandon the active practice of medicine, the gentleman moved to Wray in 1902 and bought an interest in the business then conducted by Dr. McGill. A few months later he purchased the interest of Dr. McGill and has been sole proprietor of the store since then. He keeps everything in the line of toilet articles, stationary, paints, oils, wall paper, etc., and he has one of the most attractive stores in Eastern Colorado.

     In 1867 Dr. Barr married Miss Allie F. Kincaid, an accomplished West Virginia lady, and six children - four sons and two daughters - have blessed the happy union. The four sons are now successful business men. A few months ago Dr. Barr completed the erection of one of the most beautiful residences in Wray, furnished with every modern convenience and comfort requisite in a charming home.

     Dr. Barr is a genial dignified gentleman of the old school, with a keen sense of honor underlying his nature, and his well stored mind renders him a most companionable gentleman. In public matters he is enterprising and progressive, contributing generously to every movement calculated to enhance the material and moral welfare of the city. His admirable qualities have won for the gentleman the cordial regard of the community.

1910 Hastings

September 1905 Wray  "Mrs. Gertrude Arnold of Fairplay, Colorado, is visiting her father and sister, Dr. Barr and Miss Mabel."

February 1906 "Miss Mabel Barr returned Tuesday from Boulder, where she had been visiting for about a month with her sister, Mrs. Arnold.  Dr. Barr, who went up to Boulder last week, returned home with his daughter."

1909 "Dr. Barr and daughter Mabel, left Wednesday to visit the doctor's daughter, Mrs. Charles Arnold at Hillrose, Colorado."

July 1911 "Miss Mabel Barr left Monday for Fort Morgan to visit her sister, Mrs. C.H. Arnold.  Dr. Barr, her father, did not come up from Benkelman last week as anticipated, but instead went to Chicago to visit another son.  He will visit Wray within a week or ten days."

Gertrude Barr Arnold - 1877 - 1912 is buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Los Angeles, and a Charles H. Arnold - 1880-1920

California Death Index has Charles H. Arnold, age 39, dying January 7, 1920 in county 42 - Santa Barbara That would be a birth year of about 1880.

Gertrude T, Arnold age 30, died August 9, 1910 in county 36 - San Bernardino

There's a Charles Arnold in the 1910 census of Colorado Springs, one of five boarders with Saran Mitchell - he's 29, born in Ohio, married (five years in present marriage) and is a salesman for a lumber company (two of the Barr sons were in the lumber business)

So is "Miss Jeannette F. Barr - 1855 -1931" and "Margaret A. Barr -1906-1971"  Margaret's stone is the same style as Gertrude's.

 

Judge J.S. Hendrie arrived in Wray November 9, 1885, the same day as Isaac R. Hendrie.  C.F. Hendrie arrived in 1886.

James S. Hendrie was the county judge in 1903.

The 1900 census has James D. Hendrie as county judge, born 1828 in Connecticut, married to Mary L,  born 1830 in Ohio.   One tree said she was Mary S. McClanahan.  That's maybe why Augusta  McClenathan was with them (age 10 in 1860), in Iowa, and in Wray in 1900, age 50.  In 1920   Orange County she's with Isaac, listed as an aunt.  The 1923 Santa Ana directory has Augusta McClanathan living at 1110 W. Washington.
HISTORY OF ORANGE COUNTY 1599

Mills and Montgomery counties as senator of the Iowa legislature, and later was the
Democratic sheriff of Mills County, Colo. He was married to Mary L. McClanathan,
born in Ohio. In 1886 they moved to Colorado and located on a farm near Wray, then
Weld County. When the county was divided he was appointed a commissioner of the
new county (Washington County) by Gov. Alva Adams. Later Washington County
was divided and he became a commissioner of the new Yuma County, and also county
judge until he resigned, in 1909, to move to Long Beach, Cal., where he resided until
he died, in the year 1911, at the age of eighty-three. His wife had passed away in 1910.

When a lad of sixteen, Isaac came to Colorado with his parents, who settled near
Wray, 160 miles east of Denver. The young man lived at home and rode the range
from 1886 until 1900, steadily acquiring, through his father's guidance, a thorough
knowledge of agriculture and cattle raising.

Isaac R. Hendrie then purchased his father's land and continued to farm along
the same lines as his father had pursued, until 1909, when he determined to push
further west, and sold the acreage he had improved. He was a member of the Colorado
Cattle Growers Association.

Settling for a while at Long Beach, Mr. Hendrie worked for the City Water
Company there for five years, or until July 22, 1914, when he purchased seven acres
on West Washington Street, Santa Ana. He set out four acres to apricots and the
balance to walnuts, and soon had one of the trimmest small ranches to be seen any-
where for miles around, made more valuable on account of the excellent water supply
from the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company. Since purchasing this property Mr.
Hendrie has established an extensive poultry business, with some 3,000 White Leghorn
chickens. He built an incubator house, with two incubators of 500 capacity each, and
also has the necessary brooders; he is a member of the Poultry Producers Association
of Southern California.

On April 19, 1893, Mr. Hendrie was married to Miss Maude Dakan, the daughter
of Riley and Emeline  (Cahill) Dakan, born in Ohio and Kentucky, respectively, and
early settlers of Marysville. Mo. In 1892 they came to Colorado, but later returned
to their farm in Missouri, which they have now owned over fifty years. Mr. Dakan
served as a soldier in a Missouri Regiment during the Civil War and is a prominent
G. A. R. man.

Mr. Hendrie received a very thorough grammar school training at Glenwood,
Iowa, while Mrs. Hendrie was equally fortunate in her training at Wesleyan College,
Cameron, Mo., later teaching school in Colorado, and they have striven to give the
best of educational advantages to their five children. The eldest, James R., is living
at Oakland; Dorothy L. has become Mrs. W. L. Tubbs of Santa Ana; Mary E. lives at
home and is a student at the Santa Ana high school; Harold is a pupil in the grammar
school, and Walter B., the youngest.
James and Mary are in the Long Beach 1910 census, and Isaac and Maud are living with them, and four grandchildren.
