Isaac James Barber was listed as the head of a family on the 1880 Census in Norwalk, Huron Co., OH. He was baptized 29 APR 1858 in Maumee, Lucas Co, OH.. Baptised in St. Joseph's Catholic Church, record provided by the National Archives, files of pension application of his fathers death during the civil war. Sponsers were Valentine Cary and Louisa Martin.

When Isaac James Barber was age 20 and Sarah Rosetta BURLINGHAM was age 21 they became the parents of James Bradford BARBER 8 DEC 1878 in Chicago, Huron Co., OH.. Chicago OH is now known as Willard OH

When Isaac James Barber was age 23 and Sarah Rosetta BURLINGHAM was age 23 they became the parents of Oliver Albert BARBER 4 JUN 1881 in Huron Co., OH. When Isaac James Barber was age 26 and Sarah Rosetta BURLINGHAM was age 26 they became the parents of Ellen Jane "Jen" BARBER 3 APR 1884 in Stuben, Huron Co., OH.. Isaac and Sarah named their children using the first and second names of their parents, example James Bradford Barber, James from Sarah's father, Bradford from Isaac'c father, Oliver Albert from Ike's & Sarah parents middle name's and Jen's from Sarah's mother and Ike's mother. Ike' use of Albert for Oliver' middle name needs to be researched as Ike's baptismal record at Maumee Catholic Church indicates Alfred as Bradford's middle name possible translation error from latin, as I think from Grandpa Barbers comments that it was probably something like Aldelbert or Adelbert?? Isaac & Sarah purchased land from the Carpenter families in Huron Co., this Carpenter family is related to the Carpenter families of Williams Co., Springfield Twp. which of whom many are buried near Mercy Ann Barber, Isaac Grandmother. This same family line traces to Saratoga Co., NY, where Ike's father Bradford was born? I wonder what the family connection was or is? He also bought 85 acres of land from Malinda Maxwell in 1875 and he had farmed this prior to the purchase. Isaac was a farmer. Also Isaac's nephew Charles D. "Red" Barber did call him "Uncle James or Uncle Jim". Though I did see a photograph at one of the Flory's in Archbold that had printed on it as "Ike Barber"

It is entirely possible he was a diabetic

Isaac James BARBER and Sarah Rosetta BURLINGHAM had the following children:

+ 871 i. James Bradford¹¹ BARBER was born 8 DEC 1878.

872 ii. Oliver Albert BARBER reference 19-10-7 (#68) was born in Huron Co., OH 4 JUN 1881. Oliver died 11 APR 1901 in Shelby, Richland Co., OH, at age 19. His body was interred APR 1901 in Stuben, Huron Co., OH. From the Willard Newspaper; Oliver A. Barber second son of Isaac & Sarah Barber Died in the Shelby Hospital age was 19 years 10 months and 7 days. The funeral was held at the home of Mr. & Mrs. Gambles where he had been visiting. Cause of death was listed on death certificate as diabetic. Futher research is needed on why was he was at Gambles & their relationship to Oliver? It is highly possible and most likely his middle name was Adelbert, the same as his grandfather Bradford Adelbert Barber, as I used the middle name I found on his tomb stone and it may be incorrect?

cause of death was listed as severe diabetic, probably type I but unknown

+ 873 iii. Ellen Jane "Jen" BARBER was born 3 APR 1884.
