News Item
"Clark County Democrat," (Marshall, Clark Co., IL) July 10, 1901 (no page listed))
"Mrs. Morris Logue went to Martinsville township Thursday to visit her aged mother*, Mrs. Brownlee Barr. Mrs. Barr had been in poor health for some time, and soon after her daughter's arrival she took worse and was soon dead. The funeral took place Saturday and was attended by all of Mr. Logue's family."
(*Compiler's Note--Mrs. Morris Logue was Malissa Ann Wilcox, who, interestingly, was listed as Malissa Barr, age 13, living with the Barr family in the 1870 Martinsville, Clark Co., IL Census. Malissa Ann Wilcox married Morris Logue, Elenora McKenzie Barr's first cousin once removed. In fact, Elenora McKenzie Barr, daughter of Mary Ellen Logue and Aaron McKenzie, was a double first cousin of Honora McKenzie Logue, daughter of Nancy Ann Logue and Gabriel McKenzie and mother of Morris Logue. Aaron and Gabriel were brothers, and Mary Ellen and Nancy Ann were sisters, both daughters of Daniel Logue and Honora Logsdon. As a sign of their mutual regard for the Barr family, Morris and Malissa Logue named their first son Brownlee Logue)

Obituary
"Clark County Democrat," (Marshall, Clark Co., IL) July 17, 1901 (no page listed)
OBITUARY
"Elenorah McKenzie was born in Knox county, Ohio, August 17, 1828, and departed this life July 4, 1901, aged 72 years, 10 months and 17 days."
(Compiler's Note--The monument in the Baird Cemetery reads 72 years, 10 months and 13 days, and the second obituary also reads 72 years, 10 months and 13 days. I would be prone to accept what is inscribed on the monument.)
"She was married to Brownlee Barr January 23, 1845. While they lived in Ohio four children were born to them. Seeing the need of a home they moved to Illinois and purchased a small farm in Clark county, in 1852, where they lived until death separated them. Eight more children were born to them, seven of which survive her. Mary E. Hills, living in Missouri, Francis E. Auld, C. R. Barr, Susana Morgan, Geo. D. Barr and Sarah C. Ulrey, of this county, and Mrs. Rose Thornton, of Washington county, Illinois, are the children. All were present at the funeral except Mrs. Thornton."
"Mrs. Barr united with the M. E. church many years ago during a revival held by Rev. Harrison Cowden. She remained with this church for about eleven years and then she placed her membership in the Southern Methodist church at Hopewell where she was a faithful member until death called her home."
"She was very patient during her long sickness, and constantly trusted in her blessed Savior. The funeral services were held by Rev. Mathes assisted by Rev. Brown. Burial was at Baird Cemetery--Martinsville Planet."

Marriage Notes for ELLENORAH MCKENZIE and BROWN BARR:
News Story
"Clark County Democrat," (Marshall, Clark Co., IL) January 29, 1896 (no page listed)
"Mr. and Mrs. Brown Lee Barr and wife (sic--Mrs. Brown Lee Barr was the wife) celebrated their golden wedding anniversary Thursday. Children, relatives and friends came in and enjoyed a sumptuous repast and gave them several nice presents. For 50 years they have traveled hand in hand down the aisle of time and now are enjoying good health and all the comforts of life. The merry crowd departed after wishing them another half century of partnership happiness. Mr. Barr is 71 and Mrs. Barr 68."
{Compiler's Note--In 1896, the Thursday referred to by the Clark County Democrat reporter was January 23, 1896. According to family records, Brown Lee Barr and Elnorah McKenzie were married January 23, 1845, not January 23, 1846. It appears the traditional date is incorrect, the Barrs were a year late in celebrating their golden wedding anniversary, or the date on the newspaper is incorrect)
