| 153 | Niagara Gazette - 6/14/1895 BARKER'S RETURN The Missing Son of the Dead. Landscape Artist, George Barker, Found in New. York MISSING FOR SIX LONG YEARS. LeU Homo Owing lo Domestic Unpleasantness When a Lad 13 Years Old-Has Fought the World Well-Did Not Know His. Father Was Dead. George Meredith Barker, the missing son of the late noted landscape photographer, who disappeared from here when he was 13 years of age, has returned home. Probably no more startling piece of news has been received in this city in some time. The young man, who is now between 19 ftod 20 years of age, was believed by many to be dead, although some claim to have seen him in New York city and these rumors have tumed out to be true. Young Barker has returned to his old home and when seen by a GAZETTE repre-. sentative was surrounded by a group of his sisters and the neighbors in the pleasant garden of the Buffalo avenue home. That all his sisters were very happy over .finding their long lost brother, who has grown into a, tall, slender young man, was evinced by the happy and admiring glances cast at him and the many questions with which they plied him. All the neighbors also gave the prodigal a hearty welcome, and certainly the young man has everything to feel happy over in coming back to the home he left so suddenly many years ago. The story of the discovery of the missing brother, for whose whereabouts a reward had been offered before the will of his father was found and .admitted to probate is quite interesting. On Wednesday morning Miss Mary Barker broke the seal of a letter written in a strange handwriting and dated New York. Its contents greatly surprised and delighted her. It was a letter purporting to be from her brother, asking after the family and disclosing his whereabouts and telling about himself. Miss Barker intrusted the mission of going to New York to find the young man to Mr. Samuel Devlin, her affianced, and the result was that Mr. Devlin and young Mr. Barker stepped from the sleeping car of the West Shore train at 8:45 o'clock this morning, took a carriage and were driven to the Buffalo avenue house. The story of the young man's struggle for a place in the world was interesting. The cause of his running away from home was some domestic unpleasantness. He finally reached New York city and had quite an experience for the first two or three years making a living. He adopted the vocation of an artist and studied hard to be a sketch artist with varying success.. The last two or three, years he has been making rapid progress. He chummed with several artists and newspaper men. who helped and stimulated the boy in his work, securing him orders from various publica- tions, all of which were pleased with his work, He is now on the way to success in His chosen profession. He is shrewd and very clever, and the future promises some very bright things for him. Young Barker, in telling about his writ- ing home said that it cost him quite a struggle whether to do so or not. He felt that he had established himself; that his position was one of which he could well feel proud, and finally, after a long debate with, himself, he decided to write. This he did on Tuesday, and the letter was re- ceived Wednesday, as noted above, and Friday morning he was at home. The young man was ignorant of his father's death as well as that of his stepmother. He passed through here two years ago on his way to the World's Fair, where he passed a month or more, and again on his return, but he never disclosed his identity nor made any enquiries. The future for the present is out of discussion with, the boy. His sisters, of course, will try to keep him here with them. That he will follow his chosen vocation is assured. ALSO Niagara Gazette - 11/21/1946 GEORGE MEREDITH BARKER To the editor of The Gaiatte: Announcement of the death of George Meredith Barker, 71 years old. at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., a native of Niagara Falls, recalls that his father, George Barker, was one of the most distinguished of Niagara Falls photographers of a half century and more ago. On June 3. 1946. the Gazette published an article by this writer which Included a description of numerous historical relics, pictures and newspaper articles presented to the writer by James May. who had retired after a connection of 21 years with Walker's Laundry and has removed from the city. Among these contributions was a group photograph. Because of the fact that Miss Bertha Kugel. who afterwards became Mrs. Brant and was the mother of Mrs. James May, was connected with the photograph studio of George Barker in old Main street, opposite the Cataract House, It "was assumed that the photograph was a Barker famlly group, but Identification was not Immediate. The photograph was taken in front of a house but the building did not look like the Barker residence in Buffalo avenue. Only about a week ago this photogaph was shown to Mrs. Samuel J. Devlin, a daughter of George Barker and a sister of Oeorge Meredith Barker. She Identified It at once and named the persons shown In the picture. As stated In the previous article, the well groomed whiskers of the central figure made It almost certain that It was George Barker. Mrs. Devlin said that those In the picture Included Mr. and Mrs. George Barker, with a small girl in long dress on Mrs. Barker's lap, which was the present Mrs. Devlin; Mr. and Mrs. George Shlpman, Mrs. Barker's parents, and Miss shlpman. their daughter. The house In which the photograph was taken was that of Miss Elizabeth Porter, daughter of General Peter B. Porter, and was connected with the farm that General Porter bought when the state of New York sold the Mile Strip In 1805. which was later owned by Peter A. Porter, General Porter's grand-. Son. and which was sold by him to the Niagara Falls Power company and on which the great power stations of that company on Buffalo avenue are now located. As stated In a previous article George Barker had an International reputation and was awarded many medals both at home and abroad. The great quantity of stereographs, which are displayed In the old fashioned stereoptlcon. were produced in Niagara Falls, and the greater quantity of these, as shown In a large collection at hand, were made by George Barker.

Services were held in private houses. Congregations were organized and ministers appointed in Lampeter, Strasburg, Manor, Hempfield, Leacock and Earl townships by the Mennonites before Lancaster had changed its name from Hickory Town and before the county was separated from Chester county."

On this tract he erected, in 1719, a famous dwelling with stone lintels and large rooms, in which the religious services for the settlement were held for over 100 years. (The first separate house of worship was built of bricks along the public highway, in 1848, and rebuilt in the summer of 1889.) It also served as the home of Christian Herr during his entire wedded life. The house, still standing, was built 10 years before Lancaster county was organized. HANS HERR died in this house in 1725, at the age of 86 years, and his widow died 5 years later at the age of 91 years. Both were laid to rest in the family graveyard on the old farm, along with many associates and descendants." (Taken from Mennonites of Lancaster Conference, by Martin G. Weaver, 1931, pp. 36-37.) "Christian Herr, a Mennonite minister, married Anna. His Bible (Basel: 1736), containing the records of his daughter Elizabeth's husband and children, is housed at the 1719 Herr House, 1849 Hans Herr Drive, Willow Street, PA, which he built on his patent."

| 189 | "HANS HERR was born in 1639, in Switzerland, at or near Zurich. He became a member of the Mennonite religious society and a prominent minister of that denomination. When persecution became unendurable, many of his congregation emigrated with him to the Palatinate in Germany, which was then governed by a ruler who promised protection and religous freedom. This was satisfactory until the Palatinate fell into the hands of other rulers, when the Mennonites were again subject to persecution. When this occurred, a number of them visited William Penn in London, in 1707, and arranged terms with him to colonize a portion of what is now Lancaster county. In 1709, Hans Herr, John R. Bundely, Hans Mylin, Martin Kendig, Jacob Miller, Hans Funk, Martin Oberholtzer, Wendel Bowman and others bought 10,000 acres of land on the south side of Pequea creek. A warrant was issued for the land October 10, 1710, and it was surveyed October 23, 1710. In the meantime, Martin Kendig traveled to Europe and returned with members of the families of those who had come over in 1709. Hans Herr settled near Lampeter, and later lived with his son, Christian Herr, near Willow Street, where the latter built a large stone dwelling in 1719, which is still standing. Here the venerable Hans Herr died in 1725." (Taken from Genealogical Record of Hans Herr, by Theodore W. Herr, originally published 1908, pp. ix-xi; available from the Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society for $40.) "A memorial in the Willow Street Mennonite Cemetery, where Hans Herr is presumed to have been buried, was erected by a Herr reunion group. It gives September 17, 1639 and October 11, 1725 as his respective birth and death dates, and May 1, 1639 and June 9, 1730 for Elizabeth Mylin Kendig Herr. Theodore Herr [compiler of the 1908 Herr genealogy] gives 1644 for her birth date and 1730 for her death. The reunion group's, Theodore Herr's, and Martin G. Weaver's sources for all these dates are currently unknown. In response to this situation, numerous researchers within the past 50 years have attempted to document the existence of Hans Herr. The tradition of his being the aged father of his Herr family in America stems from oral history recorded in 1844 by I. Daniel Rupp (History of Lancaster County), who in the course of his research interviewed 'Pequea' Christian Herr, a Mennonite bishop and Herr descendant. Rupp's version of the Hans Herr story was repeated with variations by many later historians." (Taken from the 1994 Supplement to the Third Edition of Genealogical Record of Hans Herr, by Theodore W.

| 190 | "John Herr, an immigrant from Switzerland, is commonly known by researchers as John/Hans Herr, the land agent. On June 30, 1711, John received a patent for 530 acres in what is now West Lampeter Township. In his will, proved on November 6, 1756, he devised this land to his sons, John and Christian Herr. Neither John Herr nor his son, John Herr, was naturalized, but the other son, Christian, was. On May 21, 1761, Christian Herr received a new patent for the whole tract. John Herr's wife, Frances, died after 1756. John and Frances Herr's undated Das gantz Nuw Testament, printed in Europe and containing the birth records of their children, belongs to the Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society."

On September 12, 1745, the Orphans' Court ordered appraisal of the property of Emanuel and on September 6, 1748 ordered the oldest son, John Herr, to hold the land."

| 195 | (Amherst Bee - February 25, 1939 - "The last Civil War Veteran in Williamsville, Christian F. Witmer, 99, died Thursday night at his home in 179 Cayuga St. after an illness of several weeks. Mr.Witmer, a member of a pioneer Amherst family homesteaded in the area where the Snyder section subsequently was developed. His father, Tobias Witmer, one of the first engineers and surveyors in Amherst, went to war with his son when President Lincoln called for volunteers. they served the 50th New York Engineering Division." I was born April 11, 1840, Previous to reaching my majority I was engaged mostly on work on the farm and attending school, and assisting my father in making surveys. My first venture in the way of business for myself was teaching the public school in what was known as the "Good District" in the town of Clarence for the winter term of 1860 - 1861. At the close of the school term I took a course in Bryant and Stratton Merchantile College in Buffalo, graduating in the spring of 1862. Enlisted in the 50th N.Y. Volunteers Engineers, August 22, 1862 and was honorably dischardged from the army service at the close of the War. The next few years were devoted to teaching schools during the winter in Levanworth, KS, and Easton Missouri, and on government surveys in the western part of Kansas, during the summer. Those were interesting times for me as you may judge from the fact that my flagman, John Roach, a Cavalryman was killed by Roman Noses' band of Cheyenne Indians while we were engaged in locating a township line on the plains. In 1868, I returned to New York State and took over my fathers business of surveying and insurance. I married Mary S. COTTON of Elma, Sept. 04, 1878. Two sons and three daughters were born of this union. Daughter Grace, born June 24, 1879, and died Sept. 01, 1916.
