Description:

This is the history of two Barber families in the years 1880 - 1950. Although they lived similar lives in Jerauld County society, politics, and agri-commerce, they were unrelated. One Barber clan emigrated from Ontario, Canada to homestead west of Wessington Springs. Descendants are still on the land. The other came from Pennsylvania through Iowa and settled around Lane. This book, by two direct descendants, details the lives of these families with memoirs, anecdotes, photographs, lineage charts, and news clippings to tell their stories.
