  Obituary for James, published September 24, 1885 in the Plymouth [Wisconsin] Repoter: "Death of James L. Barber, an old-time resident. James L. Barber, an early resident and respected citizen of the town of Plymouth, died Sunday morning at his home north of the city. His death was quite a surprise to friends and acqauintances, many of whom first learned of his serious illness with the announcement of his demise. The deceased was born in Stark County, Ohio, Aug. 25th, 1818, and was consequently in his sixty-eighth year. In company with several brothers Mr. Barber came to the state in 1847, settling first at Milwaukee, where he remained until 1853, when he removed to Plymouth, where he has since resided. He was a man of good purposes and great integrity, naturally retiring and modest in disposition, and though possessing strong and unyeilding convictions never obtruded his personal views or opinions upon others. Content to follow his own judgement in all matters in which men are called upon to act in life, he freely accorded the same privilege to others. And while his disposition and bent of character was not such as to encourage the widest circle of friendship, it is equally true that he engendered no enemies. He lived respected, and his death is regretted by all who bore his acquaintance. Mr. Barber has been ailing for several months with a heart trouble, yet his ailment was such as only to confine him to his bed for a week previous to his death, of which he seemingly had premonitions as he left directions in regard to his burial. A wife and nine children, many of whom are grown to manhood, and two brothers, Joseph Barber of Plymouth, and C. B. Barber of Waukesha survive his death. The two latter alone survive a family of nine brothers. The obsequies occurred Monday afternoon, at the residence in compliance with an expressed wish of the deceased. Owing to the necessary haste in burial, some members of the family residing at points distant from the city did not arrive until after the funeral."
