located. Three months ago they
were called to New Orleans, on ac
count of the serious illness of their

caused by her son's critical condi
tion, the long trip South, together
with the shock and grief of his death,

death. Besides her husband Mrs.
Barrere is survived by two sons,

nard, of Delta, Colo., and four grand
children.
