CAMERON* COUNTY PRIiSS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1900. w j \\| HON. GEORGE AUSTIN BARCLAY, OF SINNAM A HONING, PA. HON. OEORCiE AUSTIN BARCLAY. | Brief Obituary of a Pioneer Lumber- j man and Business Man. 112 Subject of Illustration.] HON. GEORGE AUSTIN BARCLAY, who j died at his home in Sinnamahoning. ' Nov. 25th, 1900. aged 83 years, seven months and 18 days, was for many ] years one of the most popular and en ergetic lumbermen and business men in the State, being actively engaged in lumbering in l'otfer and Cameron counties, and at the same time con ducting extensive lumbering enter prises in Michigan and other western States, accumulating considerable property. Born atOwega, N. Y., April 17th, 1817, he early emigrated, at the age of 17, to Michigan and entered the employ of the Northwestern Fur Com pany, controlled by John Jacob Astor, and became closely identified, and fa miliarized himself with the language and traits of the Indian- speaking their language fluently. His close business relations with the noble red men made him a general favorite and as a mark of distinction the Indians named him "Big Knife." Remaining in the wild we&t for years he studied the country and its resources carefully, an experi ence that years after was of invaluable benefit when he returned and invested in timber lands in Illinois and Michi gan and erected saw mills. Locating in Potter county he active ly engaged in lumbering and farming until 1867 when he sold his business and invested his money in more west ern lands, at the same time taking up his residence in this county, wliere his sons, George B. and Chas. F., had ac tively engaged in the lumber business at Sinnamahoning. A hard worker all his life he actively put his shoulder to the wheel and a great share of the suc cess of the firm of Barclay Bros, is due to his wonderful knowledge of the bus iness. George A. Barclay was a won derful man in many ways. A man of indomitable force, a pusher; blunt and emphatic at all times, yet ready to lis ten, learn and advise. When he en tered upon any undertaking, he never tired until he saw his ideal accom plished. Having passed the major portion of his life around saw mills and in the lumber woods he was considered to be master mechanic when it came to fitting out a mill or adding improve ments to keep up with the times. When he said a piece of machinery was ready, ready it was. Although always, until late years, a busy man, Mr. Barclay took time to post himself on the current events of the day and when the question of j sound money was at issue he wrote many interesting articles upon the side of sound money and was ever ready to forcibly discuss the issue. Mr. Barclay was married at an early date and reared a family of three chil dren—Mr. Geo. B. Barclay and Mr. Chas. F. Barclay, of Sinnamahoning, and Mrs. Mary E. Roberts, of Knox ville, Tenn., all of whom are living. His wife died in 1884 and her remains are resting in the family plot at Sinna mahoning. In 1884 the Republicans unanimously tendered Mr. Barclay the nomination of Member of Assembly and elected him by a large majority, he serving with distinction and credit during the sessions of 1885-'Bo-'B7 and 1888. The years of hard toil had made its inroad and in July, 1893, his health commenced to fail. Partial paralysis overcame him. and up to the time of his death he quietly awaited the call of I his Master. The funeral services were held at the M. E. Church, Sinnamahoning, on Tuesday, Nov. 27th, 1900, at 2 o'clock, p. m., the services being conducted by his pastor, Rev. M, C. Piper, of M. E. Church, in the presence of hundreds | of old friends and neighbors, in addi tion to his three children and many relatives. His remains were tenderly laid to rest beside his wife in the little cemetery at Wyside, overlooking the scenes of many active years of toil, on the banks of the picturesque Sinna mahoning. The editor of the PRESS offers an apology to our readers, and more es pecially to the family of the deceased, for the late appearance of this obituary. After an absence of three weeks from home, at the time of his death, the matter was neglected, yet we feel it a duty we owe the dead to make those hasty and crude remarks. Years ago, when only a lad, we were kindly as sisted by the deceased in a mi liner that gave us encouragement and con fidence to push ahead and to do battle for what we considered, and he be lieved, to be right. We have always respected the deceased from that day and was his friend. Peace to his ashes. Notes and News. Fine boxes of bon-bons from 25c to 50c, at H. 8. Lloyd's.
