Barker and Miss Cora B. Daugherty. Joe Barker is too well known in this vicinity that anything we might say would not add to the esteem in which he is held. He is the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. R.P. Barker and came to Depew with his parents some twelve years ago and has grown to manhood in our midst. When the United States declared war on Germany he was the first to volunteer his services to help put the kibosh on the kairer. He went to Camp Pike, Arkansas Training school and was made a 2nd Lieutenant and was later promoted to 1st Lieutenant, and after receiving his discharge, received notice from the war department that he had been promoted to a Captaincy. The Independent knows that the bride fills the bill and must be a daisy in every particular or Joe would not have tied to her. The Independent joins Joe’s many friends in wishing him the best there is.
