| 143 | 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.
