Harold K. "Ken"
Barker
Harold Kenneth "Ken" Barker, 80, passed away in Salt Lake City, Utah, on Saturday,

where he lived with his son and family. Ken was born May
3, 1926, in
Vienna, West "by God" Virginia, to Emery Marvin and Opal Trudeau
Barker. He was the middle brother to Gart and Betty

while he was team fullback. Ken served honorably in the Army. He was a World
War II veteran serving in Korea. When he returned from the service
in 1947, he began his employment with Corning Glass in Parkersburg and continued for a lifetime career
working more than 35 years with Corning. He traveled to over 100 countries
during his work as a project manager for Corning International. His career led
him to travel the world and do what he did best, get a job completed, make
friends, eat exotic foods and make his presence known wherever he was. Ken
never met a "stranger" and left a lasting impression. Ken will be
remembered as Corning's "Buddha." Ken was a
wonderful father and traveled extensively with his son to pursue his passion of
motorcycling. He loved all motorcycling events and all the people attending. He
enjoyed telling hundreds of stories about his travels around the globe. After
his retirement with Corning, he lived in Painted Post, N.Y.,
for a few years and then he moved to Salt Lake City, Utah with his favorite traveling
companion, his dog Belle, to be close to "his boy," Joe. Ken helped
Joe with his construction business and ran his crews in the same manner as he
did with Corning. His style, humor and personality were truly "one of a
kind." Ken and Joe traveled collecting antique motorcycles. Ken always
loved an adventure and in his normal fashion made a large group of friends in
the motorcycle community. During his retirement years, he enjoyed collecting
motorcycles and spoiling his grandchildren. Ken has two grandchildren that he
absolutely adored and spoiled rotten. Colby and Mary loved their grandpa
"pea head" and knew if dad or mom said no, they could count on
grandpa saying yes, and coming through with whatever they wanted. Colby and
Mary will always remember their grandpa's funny sayings, his generosity and the
pride and love he had for them. He is survived by his son and wife (his
favorite daughter-in-law, the only one), Joe and Sheril
Barker; grandchildren, Colby and Mary Barker; nieces and nephews, Tom, Carol
and Peggy Moore and families, Patty and Bill Releford
and family, Larry and Terressa Barker and family, Lavina and Mitch Ellis and family, Butchie
and Sue Evans and family; and countless friends from around the globe. In
addition to his parents, Ken was preceded in death by his brother, Gart; and sister, Betty Moore. We love you Dad, we will
miss you, but we will never forget you! Thank you for your guidance, love,
generosity, and humor. You were "one of a kind!" Services will be 1 p.m. Thursday at the Ingram Funeral

Sad Death, Emmet Barker
Emmet. the ten year old son
of Mrs. Simon Barker, died of heart failure Saturday. He was troubled with
enlarged tonsils, and they were being removed by Drs. A.P. and Lattimer Jones. Only enough chloroform was administered to
keep him from struggling, and the operation had barely began when it was found
he was not sufficiently anesthetized. The mouth gag was removed and the boy had
taken but two or three whiffs of the chloroform-administered by Dr. A.P. Jones.
When his heart stopped. An examination
had disclosed that his heart was apparently normal. No one is in any wise
to blame; it is just one of those unfortunate cases so frequent in surgery. It
will be recalled that the boy’s father was killed a few years ago in an
accident on a saw mill and an older brother was accidentally shot last fall
while shooting at a mark and considerably hurt. The little fellow was the
grandson of the aged James Barker and of Noah Farley and wife. We extend our
sincere sympathy to the bereft.
