Note: !In 1834 Abijah moved his family from Dutchess County, NY to Tioga County, NY.
They resided there until 1845, when the family removed to Rock County, WI. The
previous year, Abijah had made a trip to the West and being pleased with the
Rock County area entered about 640 acres of land on what is now section 14, in
the town of Magnolia. His selection proved a wise one, the land being of the
greatest fertility and now comprises one of the best farms in the township.
Fred was sent out in the early spring of 1845, and he went to the claim in order
to prevent it from being taken by "jumpers". Going to the land-office in
Milwaukee, he made a partial payment, and a few months later the remainder of
the family came to the new home, making the journey by water from Buffalo to
Milwaukee, where they purchased teams, proceeding on their way until reaching
their destination. At that time only seven or eight families had located in the
township and the new life on a western frontier proved a strange experience to
our travelers reared in the East. The entire family, including parents and nine
children, moved into a little log cabin ten feet square, which they made their
home until a more suitable residence could be erected. In a short time the new
dwelling, which was one of the first frame houses built in the settlement, was
complete, and the occupants installed in their new home. In those days a
carpenter received $5 per day, and as means were rather limited, the sons were
initiated into carpenter work, having to complete the house. As there were no
mills in the vicinity, the lumber had to be hauled from Milwaukee, a distance of
eighty miles.
Abijah Barrett became the leading citizen of the township, and though always
refusing to accept public office himself, his advice was often sought in the
selection of men to fill the various offices. In early life he was an ardent
supporter of the Whig party, and a great admirer of William Henry Harrison, but
when the Republican party was organized, he joined its ranks and supported it by
his ballot until his death. He died in 1881, at the advanced age of eighty-one
years, and the death of his wife occured March 9, 1884. Both were members of
the Baptist Church, but after their removal to Rock County, as there was no
organization of that denomination, they attended the Methodist Church, giving
liberally of their time and means to its support. The wife in particular, was
known for her earnest efforts to advance the cause of the church and was a
devoted Christian lady. In the death of this worthy couple the county lost two
of its best citizens, who were highly respected by all (2).
OBITUARY:
Abijah K. Barrett was born in Putnam county, NY, Jan. 1, 1799. He moved into
Wisconsin in the spring of 1840, having previously been married to his now
sorrowing widow at the sge of twenty-three years. He entered eight hundred
acres in Magnolia, Rock county, where he settled, and which was the only home he
knew in the State.
Many of the early settlers remember with what cheerfulness his hospitable
door was open to his weary fellows as, contending with difficulties, they strove
to make for themselves "a home in the far west."
He was the father of a large family, twelve of the children attaining their
majority.
Father Barrett did not brood over his eight hundred acres of land until his
death, but gave it to his children, to each son he gave eighty acres and each
daughter forty acres, reserving, however, enough to keep himself and partner in
life comfortable to the last.
He was a man of singularly strong constitution. Has never been known to
remain for one day in bed during his long married life, or scarcely ever to lose
a meal. Whether or not his physical condition indicated decision of character,
he possessed the latter in a remarkable degree, which aided him much in life's
difficulties. Although a member of the Baptist church, having belonged to that
communion for forty-five years, he was a liberal supporter of the different
branches of the universal church. He was one of the first to subscribe one
hundred dollars toward the erection of an M. E. church, nesr his home. That was
increased afterwards until it amounted to about one hundred and fifty dollars.
He and his wife celebrated their golden wedding when all his surviving
children were present.
As in the care of that people, being pastor in charge of the M. E. church, I
called at his home and found a kind friend, and one whose mind was preoccupied
with thoughts of the future. I had prayer with them. He said he expected to
die soon and to die suddenly. He had the text selected which he wished to have
preached from at the funeral.
For a few days he had not been feeling as well as usual and on January 24th
he laid him down to rest, and in about five minutes had fallen into the last
long sleep. Thus quietly he passed away.
According to his request I spoke to a large and attentive congregation from
Isaiah, 57th chapter, 1st verse. Rev. Mr. Jameson, of the Congregational
church, aided in the services. We then laid the body away to await the general
resurrection. Thus another of the old settlers is gone. J. R.
