Captain W. E. Barry.
Y. E. Barry died at his home In Nav-
asota November 17 at the age of 73 years
lacking a few days after an Illness last-
ing only a few days. He was the aon
of Colonel and Mrs. Lewis D. Barry and
was born In Lebanon Tenn. The fam-
ily removed to Clarkavllle Texas a year
after the birth of W. K. Barry and In
1849 to (.Irlmes county where they con-
tinued to reside.
W. K. Barry was educated at Ander-
son to which place the family had re-
moved two years prior to his father's
death. In 1861 the captain and two
brothers John and Howard answered
the first call of the Southern Confed-
eracy Thomas the fourth son. fallowing

eompany O Fourth Texas commanded
by Meneral J. H. Hood their captain
being J. W. llutcheson a brother of
Captain J. 0. llutcheson of Houston for-
merly of Anderson. V. lv Hairy took
part In every battle In Northern Virginia
and was wounded many times. At the
battle of "The Wlldernes" he was badly
wounded in the left arm finally result-
ing In his retirement from active service.
This wound almost incapacitated his arm
for active use. It being necessary to re-
move all but the smaller bone really
leaving the member of very little service.
It waa during his recovery from this
wound and while he was yet In Virginia
that he was elected county clerk of
Grimes county. He returned home and
served the greater portion of two years
or until reconstruction acts made his
longer service Impracticable. He then
went to Montgomery to take charge of
the large mercantile Interests of I J.

bered firm until their removal to tlal-
veston when he came to Navasoio to
