Mr. Alvin B. Barrett died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. E. F. Swanson, in the township of Warsaw, Rice county, on Thursday evening at 7:45 o'clock, Sept. 14, after an illness of six weeks, aged 62 years, 1 month and 9 days. The funeral services were conducted from the house by Rev. E. C. Chevis, pastor of the Congregational church of Medford, on Saturday morning. The remains were brought to Owatonna and laid to rest beside those of his wife in Forest Hill Cemetery. Mr. Barrett was born at Crown Point, New York State, August 5, 1837. He was married to Miss Ellen Archer at the same place in 1866. Three daughters were born to them. Mesdames C. N. Archer and W. E. Finley, who live in Mille Lacs county, and Mrs. E. F. Swanson, of Warsaw, Rice county. Mesdames Archer and Swanson were present at the funeral services. Mrs. Finley was unable to be present. Mr. and Mrs. Barrett and family moved to Owatonna in the spring of 1883 and made their home in this city until 1889 when they moved to Mille Lacs county where they lived three years. They then moved back to Owatonna. Mrs. Barrett died in this city on Wednesday, September 26, 1894, and since that time he made his home with his daughter, Mrs. E. F. Sawnson, in Warsaw, Rice county. Farming had been his principal occupation, but of late years, he had surrendered the active duties of life on account of failing health. He was taken ill in the first part of August with jaundice which developed into a complication of troubles resulting in his death. Mr. Barrett was a successsful [sic] man and a honest, upright citizen, respected by all who knew him. He was a kind husband, a loving father and a good neighbor. The influence he wielded among his associates was strong and wide. In his personality, he was attractive, drawing himself a host of friends who will mourn his departure from their midst. The relatives have the sympathy of this community in their bereavement. -Owatonna Peoples' Press
