   (These four families lived and farmed around Lane, South Dakota)

* Arabelle Barber Harris, who married Ira Jasper Harris, and lived in Madison, South Dakota from about 1914; he owned and managed several farms in Jerauld County.

 

*  Unrelated to these Barbers, Chauncy Barber and his brother William brought their families to South Dakota some forty or fifty years earlier.  They were the true "homesteaders" who earned the right of ownership by occupying the land.  Their descendants still live on the original homestead!
