MARY BARRETT
‘A Farmer With Sparkling
Eyes” is how The Charlotte
Observer described Mary
Barrett, who died Feb. 17 at
age 106.
Mrs. Barrett, whose father
was half brother of the late
Robert Barber of Piedmont
Avenue in Kings Mountain,
farmed cotton and corn, rais-
ed nine children, read the Bi-
, ble and outlived her genera-
tion.
She died in York County’s
Bethel Community at the
home of her daughter, Naomi
Baird, where she had lived
since 1961. She had been suf-
fering from pneumonia.
Mrs. Barrett was born into
a farming family on Sept. 1,
1880. Her father, William
Barber, had fought in the
Civil War. She married
William Monroe Barrett in
1903 and they moved to
Clover. He was an overseer
at Clover Spinning Mill until
1923 and then he moved to the
Hawthorne Mill on South
Main Street. He died three
years later of leukemia at
age 42.
In 1930, Mrs. Barrett took
her seven children and mov-
ed to a farm off Faulkner
Road in Clover where she
built a two story eight room
house for $3,500 and also took
in her parents as well as a
niece and granddaughter. In
addition to running the
household, Mrs. Barrett
worked in the fields and lived
on the farm until 1961. She
also had 17 grandchildren, 43
great-grandchildren, and five
great-great grandchildren.
The clan got together for
Mrs. Barrett’s 100th birthday
in 1980. That Sunday dinner in
the yard of Archie Barrett's
home was her last big gather-
ing. A stroke came soon
after, crowds made her ner-
vous and about three years
later she broke her hip and
had to start taking life easier.
Funeral services were held
at Clover ARP Church, inter-
ment following in Woodside
Cemetery in Clover.

“Quality is Job 1” In fact, for the past six consecu-
tive years, Ford quality has led all other American
automobile companies. This is based on an aver-
age of owner-reported problems in the first three
months of service on ‘86 models, and in a six-
month period on '81-'85 models designed and
built in North America.
