      LA BARR
      Almira La Barr, whose maiden name was Palmer, was born in Saratoga county, N.Y., September 11, 1808, and died July 7, 1885, at 10:05 A.M. The subject of this memoir was the wife of John W. La Barr, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of Niagara county, to whom she was united in marriage in 1832, and with whom she loved pleasantly for nearly 54 years, when suddenly and without a moment's warning the drum of life beat a halt. She met with an accident by falling, on the 6th day of July, and suffered the most excruciating agony for nearly half an hour subsequent to her injury and then sunk into an unconscious state and continued in that condition until the following day, when her weary spirit took its flight to be with Him whom she adored. Sister LaBarr was a firm believer in the religion of out Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, which she embraced in 1842 at which time she united with the Methodist Episcopal Church and continued a member of that denomination until 1854 when she and her husband united with the Wesleyan Methodist Church of Chestnut Ridge, Niagara county, N.Y., of which church she was a worthy member at the time of her decease. The funeral services were held at the residence of John W. LaBarr, and the writer improved the occasion from (Prov. xiv-32) "But the righteous hath hope in his death." She was the mother of ten children. She leaves a husband and six children - 4 daughters and 2 sons - and eight grandchildren to mourn their loss. The church has lost another, society a good and respected citizen and the home a faithful, devoted and loving mother and wife. Her mortal remains were interred in the Chestnut Ridge cemetery waiting the morning of the resurrection when those who sleep in Jesus will come forth to the resurrection of life - for which event the children of the deceased are kindly and earnestly admonished to prepare themselves.
