BARRET, Joseph April 9, 1904 Mariposa Gazette: Pioneer Settler Gone.
Joseph BARRETT died at his home at Merced Falls on Monday at the age of 82 years. During the previous two weeks his health had failed rapidly, and on last Sunday evening he received some burns which probably hastened the end. Mr. BARRETT was sitting in front of the fire place, being alone in the room at the time , and fell in the fire. His wife was attracted by his calls and found his clothes on fire. The fire was put out at once, but he had received some severe burns. Mr. BARRETT was one of the first settlers of Merced county, and for years his home has been at his ranch on the Merced river. He was widely known and held in high regard as a man of strict integrity and generous nature. To mourn his passing he leaves a widow, three sons, Hugo, George and Harry, and three daughters, Mrs. Sam MURRAY of Fresno Flats, Mrs. Lizzie NEWMAN of Mariposa, and Mrs. Adolp Jacobs of Stent, Tuolumne County.
