• His obituary was published in the Unknown newspaper in June 1897.

We have just returned from the funeral of another brother. But a few months ago we chronicled the death of our oldest brother, and today it is the youngest, who died at 8 o'clock Sunday morning, after an illness with pneumonia fever of only four days. Victor Emanuel Barr was born March 12th, 1875, joined the Enon Baptist Church and was baptized by Rev. D. N. Connolly April 19th, 1896, died June 27th, 1897. For some time he had been employed in the drug store at this place, and modesty forbids the writer from saying more than that his short life is an open page. Judge ye from his reputation for honesty and sobriety before his late sickness and death. If money would pay the debt of gratitude we owe to so many for kindness in our hours of loathsome bereavement the writer would gladly place his signature to a check for the last dollar remaining to his credit, but it will not, and let us assure you of our profound gratitude and may our future lives be such as to warrant you in the conclusion that your kind office were as seed sown in good ground.
