• Notes

  Daily Intelligencer (Lancaster, Pa.), Monday, November 22, 1880, p. 2, col. 6: "Mount Joy Matters Mr. Gabriel Bar died at his residence in this borough on Friday afternoon about 5 o'clock, after an illness of half a year. During this period he was quite sick, but in the early autumn he rallied sufficiently to be able to be in the open air and his wife and friends hoped for his recovery; lately he failed considerable and the announcement of his death was not unexpected. The deceased was born in Chester County on the 24th day of February, 1814, and was sixty-six years old At an early age he learned the trade of a miller and for a number of years he was engaged at milling at Hammer creek. In 1857 he came to Mount Joy and built the large steam flouring mill on Market street, which he ran until seven years ago. He was a member of the old Mennonite church and was prominently identified with the movement to procure houses in the west for the Russian Mennonites, having been treasurer of the reception bureau which duty took him Kansas and Nebraska several times. He leaves a wife to mourn his loss, and there are now many living who enjoyed his kind hospitality and munificence, who will sympathize with the bereaved and drop a tear to his cherished memory. The funeral services will be held in the U. B. church on Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock whence his remains will be taken to the Donegal burying ground for interment."
