At Prattsville, Ark., on 7th day of Feb., of
typhoid-pneumonia, Miss Barker Halbert, in the 42nd year of her age.
Miss Halbert was born in the State of Mississippi, in the year 1840. She moved
to this State with her parents when quite young and in the year 1859, professed
faith in Christ, and was baptized into the fellowship of Philadelphia church,
by Elder Joel Watson, she remained a consistent member until the day of her
death. In all her relations of Christian, sister or friend in all the varied
vocations of life, Miss Barker was the same genial, gentle spirit, the same
kind sister and affectionate friend. She leaves many brothers and sisters to
mourn her loss, but we feel assured that this separation will only be
temporary, and that her many friends will soon, yes possibly soon, meet her
where parting will be no more.
