SIDNEY (SLAYBAUGH) BARBER, 06 Jun 1834 - 16 Apr 1904

   Sidney Slaybaugh was born June 6, 1834, in Adams county, Pennsylvania, 
and died at her home near Orland, Ind., April 16, 1904, age 69 years, 10 
months and 10 days.
   In October, 1848, she moved with her parents, Leonard and Hannah 
Slaybaugh, to Steuben county, Ind., and has lived here ever since.  On 
November 5, 1859, she was united in marriage to Wm. Barber, who survives 
her.  To them were born eight children, five of whom are living and were 
with her at the time of her death.  When a young girl she united with the 
Disciple church and on moving to Orland, transferred her membership to the 
Congregational church of that place in which she was an active worker 
until her health failed her.  For many years she was a partial invalid, 
but during her affliction she trusted in God's mercy and received great 
comfort from her religion.  She was a faithful wife, a devoted mother, 
always a kind and obliging neighbor ready to minister to the sick or those 
in need at all times.  She leaves a husband, five children, two 
grandchildren, one sister and five brothers and a large circle of friends 
to mourn their loss.
   The funeral services were held at home Monday April 18, 1904, conducted 
by Rev. C. W. Long.  Interment in the Green Lawn cemetery.
