JERRY BARNHART
[Welland Telegraph April 17, 1903]
Mr Jerry Barnhart, one of Port’s oldest and best known residents died on Monday evening last at the ripe old age of 71 years. Deceased had lived here all his life, having come here with his parents when an infant. After growing into manhood he was tugging for some time, but later went into business as a teamster and practically spent his life at that business. He was a shrewd and saving business man, Only one daughter besides the widow is left to mourn his loss. The daughter is Mrs Stewart, of Port Huron. Deceased was an old member of McNab Lodge, A.F. & A.M and had the respect of all who knew him. The funeral was held yesterday from the late residence to Oakwood cemetery.
The solemn and appropriate Masonic funeral rites were performed by the officers of McNab Lodge. Services were also taken by Rev Mr Mackintosh.
