Robert Barr, a native of Nicholas County, Ky., died at his home, in Blackwell, Okla., on January 15, 1920, after a short illness. He was born on May 12, 1842, in Nicholas County, Ky., where he lived until 1910, when he moved to Oklahoma, engaging in farming in that State. Early in life he united with the Christian Church and was baptized by Rev. Mr. Hohn, a noted minister of that day, and lived a consistent Christian life. He was a deacon of his Church for many years and later was elected elder, and on moving to Oklahoma he was made an elder at Blackwell and served in that capacity until his death. In September, 1862, he enlisted in Clay's Kentucky Battalion, C. S. A., and served until the close of the war. His remains were brought to Carlisle, Ky., and buried with Masonic honors by Daugherty Lodge, No. 65, F. and A. M. [H. M. Taylor]
