H. H. BARKER

One of the pioneer settlers of Marion county came to Pella in 1865, and
conducted a dental office here until 1881. For a period of sixteen years he was
a well-known and popular citizen of our city, and took a deep interest in the
educational and business development of the town. When he retired from practice
and moved to another locality, his departure was regretted by a host of friends
who had learned to value him as a friend and fellow citizen. Mr. and Mrs. Barker
are now residents of Harvey, Iowa.
