Viewers of Allegheny County. Mr. Barr took .1 deep interest 

 in the affairs of the Carnegie Institute, and rendered efficienl 

 sen ice as a member of the standing com mil tee on 1 he M useum, 

 the meetings of which he attended as often as his busi 

 engagements made it possible to do so. 



Mr. Barr was genial in disposition, devoted to his friend-, 

 a kind father and neighbor, lie was thoroughly public-spirited, 

 and applied himself with energy and zeal to promoting all 

 movements looking toward the welfare of his native city. His 

 sudden and altogether unexpected death has brought deep sorrow 

 not only to his family, but to the large circle of friends with 

 whom he was associated in carrying on the philanthropies of the 

 community, and especially to his associates in the Board of 

 Trustees of the Carnegie Institute.
