General Notes: Husband - Joseph Barron

---

He was reared in Worth Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, and his boyhood and youth were alternately spent in school and in work on the home farm. In adulthood he resided on his large estate known as the Slippery Rock Stock Farm, which contained 325 acres and was situated on Slippery Rock Creek, on the old mill road, four miles from Slippery Rock.
On his large estate he carried on general cultivation of the soil, but devoted a large part of his land and attention to the breeding of the fine stock which made the Slippery Rock Stock Farm known all through that section of the state. He made a specialty of raising sheep and had a reputation in this line all over the United States. In association with his son James, he owned 230 fine sheep, all thoroughbred Merinos, Delaines, Ramhouletts, Southdowns, Lincolns, Shropshires and Highlanders. These sheep were on exhibition at different fairs for a number of years. In 1904, at the St. Louis Exposition, Mr. Barron took the grand prize against the whole world, in Delaine wool: conceded the best wool raised. This wool went to the Pennsylvania State Agricultural College for purposes of educating students in this commodity. In addition to growing the best sheep in western Pennsylvania, Mr. Barron raised also prize winning hogs and cattle, giving the preference to Berkshire and Poland-China swine and Shorthorn Durham cattle.
