• Notes

  He was listed as a clerk when he married. The 1930 census stated that his father was born in Scotland. This is a misinterpretation of the truth. His father was born in Canada. He and his wife had wanted to name their last child, if he was a boy, Stewart. This was because his family was supposedly part of the Stewart clan from Scotland. The Barr surname, however, is French according to his daughter, Virginia and spelled Barre'. He was a shipping clerk for an advertising company according to the 1940 census. He and his wife Josephine had one son named Robert. He might be the son known to Virginia Barr Hofstetter as Robin. She did not mention having a brother named Robert. The Ohio death records stated he was the Robert W. Barr who died unexpectedly in Maple Heights, Cuyahoga Co., Ohio on May 1, 1961. This was five days before his daughter, Virginia's wedding that was naturally postponed by the event. She and her father had just rehearsed walking down the isle in Bedford, Cuyahoga Co., Ohio when he went out to mow the lawn. He had a heart attack.
