OBITUARY: 
CHARLES C. BARKER DIES AT HOSPITAL IN PORTLAND.
Charlie Clinton Barker, descendant of an Oregon pioneer family, died yesterday at the Good Samaritan hospital after a short illness. Mr. Barker, who had contracted pneumonia, was removed to the hospital Sunday. He had been engaged in the insurance business.
He was the son Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Barker, who crossed the plains in 1847 and settled at Salem. He is survived by a brother William J. Barker of Airlie, Oregon; a sister Mrs. E. L. Coldwell of 808 Wasco street; two nephews, O. B. Coldwell and Harry Barker, both of Portland, and two nieces, Miss Mary Coldwell and Mrs. Bessie Harrison, also of Portland.
The above is from the Oregonian of yesterday.
"Charley" Barker was one of the best known young men of Salem in the '80s, and he had a large circle of friends here in those days, when everybody knew everybody else in this city. The interment will be here. The pall bearers who will escort the body from the 12:50 Oregon Electric train this afternoon to the Odd Fellows cemetery will be R. P. Boise, G. E. Waters, John McNary, Dr. T. C. Smith, George G. Brown and H. W. Meyers.
