L.R. Barry, a resident of this area for the past 30 years, passed away at his home here Tuesday morning about 9:30 o'clock after an illness of several months.
Mr. Barry was a familiar figure around Wheeler before he became ill late last fall having worked in the AAA farm program, then with the Wheeler County Rural Health Services and later at the Holt Brothers Lumber Co. Failing health caused his resignation from his position as bookkeeper at the lumber yard. Prior to moving to Wheeler, he had engaged in farming near Briscoe and prior to that he had been employed in farm and ranch activities the greater part of his life.
Funeral services for Mr. Barry were conducted from the Wheeler Baptist Church this morning (Thursday) at 10:30 a.m. with Rev. M.B. Smith, pastor, in charge assisted by Rev. Darris Egger, pastor of the Methodist Church and Rev. Gene Hudnall, pastor of the Nazarene Church here.

Barry of Amarillo, and Frank Barry of Albuquerque, N.M.; and one step-son, C.E. (Doc) Wilhelm; five sisters, Mrs. Lee Hill of Alto, Mrs. Bill Day of Mangum, Okla., Mrs. Bob Duncan of Hico, Mrs. Reagan Cavness and Mrs. W.E.
