While
in
no sense of a martial nature, the Barkers have
ever been found in the front rank of the country's defenders,
when
foreign levy or domestic treason has threatened the sta-

our institutions. Every war of the Republic has found numbers of them among its defenders, and none has ever yet brought discredit upon the name he bore. In the more peaceful paths of civil life the race has been characterized by simplicity of habits, sturdy manhood, and rugged honesty. In every calling the name has been a synonym for sobriety, industry and integrity.
