Children

William and Orpha had the following children.

George Westerdale Barker

George Westerdale Barker was born in Oregon on April 19, 1881.

Who’s Who on the Pacific Coast, 1913, page 35.

On May 22, 1912 in Lakeview, Oregon he married Mary Hazel Heryford. She was born in Lakeview on August 16, 1893. Her parents were Henry Reed Heryford (1850–1919) and Mary Lucretia Parker (1859–1957).

Lakeview Lake County Examiner (Lakeview, Oregon), May 23, 1912, page 4, column 3. (Note references to “Parker” in the body of the article rather than “Barker.”)

He became a leading official in the Pine Belt Bank at Butte Falls, Oregon.

Pine Belt Bank and U.S. Hotel, Butte Falls, Oregon, about 1910; Southern Oregon Digital Archives; https://digital.sou.edu/digital/collection/p15013coll2/id/595/rec/1. “Bank built and owned by George Barker; Hotel owned by William Duprey.”

In April 1912 a fire destroyed the bank building.

Oregon Daily Journal, (Portland, Oregon), April 3, 1912, page 6, column 7.

Marshfield Daily Coast Mail (Marshfield, Oregon), April 4, 1912, page 3, column 5.

The bank replaced the old building with a smaller concrete structure.

Medford Mail Tribune (Medford, Oregon), April 15, 1912, page 3, columns 2-3.

The replacement building is still standing.

In 2022 the building is a private residence with an address of 451 Broad St, Butte Falls, Oregon, 97522; https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/451-Broad-St-Butte-Falls-OR-97522/333116517_zpid/?.

In 1917, he was a banker with the the Pine Belt Bank, and postmaster in Butte Falls, Oregon. His wife’s name was Hazel.

He committed suicide on March 19, 1928. The Medford Mail-Tribute published a series of stories from March 20 to 23, 1928, describing George’s suicide, along with assurances that his bank was still sound. George was apparently concerned about an audit of the bank. He shot himself in the head at his fishing camp, not far from Butte Falls. He was buried in Medford, Oregon.
