east end were not judged that eternal life which knows no death born at mongolia on the 10th of markham in 1837 rebellion year mr bairkey ranked among the few longest living inhabitants in these parts he was of a family- of 10 children born to henry barkey and fannie grove and was the last sur viving member his patents were of pennsylvania dutch and were the children of the very first settlers in the section jacob barkeys grand father came here as a baby with his parents in- 1806 onehundred and twentysix years ago until 19 years of age jacob worked faithful at home when he undertook the blacksmith- ing trade and apprenticed himself to hugh easier who conducted a shop where now stands mrs hard ings home in the east end at this time the present business section of stouffville was bush lands after four years mr barkey engaged with the beebe blacksmith shop in ux- trnidge vihage conducted by the father of the late byron beebe jonathan gould of markham who was tlhen a very small boy recalls mr barkey as a good cricket player tiho won a place on the first team ever organized in uxmrldge ini 1866 the late mr barkey settled in goodwood where he united in marriage vith a miss stover cousin to the present ambrose stover the loical baker they were united in matrimony by the father of the young groom the rev henry bar- key tfhe sadflleback preacher of altona who is not forgotten to this day by the older residents in those eanly days long hours and hard work were more familiar to the young generation than it is today mr barkey often stood be fore the forge at the goodwood smithy shop around four oclock in the morning and by dint of hard going rounded out an axe blade be fore breakfast all the tools in those days used toy the pioneer were handmade and the deceased was regarded as a master mechanic in their manufacture there was more to contend with in those days than nard work pri vations were many wild animals were often a menace and in this lat ter respect mr barkey often recall ed an amusing incident to him in hl life he was engaged in burning a charcoal pit near uxbridge walking from the village to the scene of activity was through the lonely woods and dense brush he had with him as a companion a new comer from england in uhe person of our present w b sanders as they plodded their way in the black of night the howl of wolves came nearer and nearer mrsanders knew well that such animals dealt nothing but death to the man in the woods if he was unfortunate to be confront ed by tttiem in the old land he was justly alarmed as the sound came nearer and nearer but mr barkey declared it offered no concern to him as the experience was an old one j the pack probably half dozen raced by them within some forty rods and the newly initiated breathed easier as the howling grew fainter and fainter in the distance few men who are privileged to live over 91 years stand tfhe strain like the deceased he was rugged firm of foot keen of intellect and possessed a freshness of the skin that wouldbe prized by many men of 65 years the determination never to worry and the practice of good habits are the only things mr bar- key could give as a reason for his great age hard work he knew from experience never kiiled ihlm the late mr barkey is survived by seven children of a- family of eight his wife having passed away 7 years ago the surviving mem bers of the
