Jan 1 1910 can not possible be right if his sister Nellie was born July 1909 which does correspond with the 1920 census.

"IN MEMORIUM
Mrs. Sarah H. Barron was the daughter of John Martin who moved from North Carolina and settled in the Lawrens (sic) district where Mrs. Barron was born. Her parents moved thence to Tennessee and afterward to Alabama. From Alabama, the next move was to Pike County, GA., settling near where Griffin was afterward located. Here sister Barron grew to womanhood and there she was united in marriage with James Barron, settling at his home near Jones Mills. Three children, Thomas, James and Mary Ann were born to her. After the death of her husband in 1856, she remained upon the old homestead, reared her children and directed them in the way they should go.
The War coming on, her boys were summoned to the tented field to fight for their country. This left her almost alone but, by industry and well directed energy, she made a support and clothed her boys in the service.
The War closing, her two sons returned home, married and settled to themselves. Her daughter marrying, remained at the old home for six or eight years when she moved to Texas, USA with her husband and James, also, moving to Texas, USA. Mrs. Barron rented out her farm and cast her lot in Texas, USA with her daugher. Here she remained for fourteen years. In the meantime her other son (Thomas) sold out in Meriwether, moved to Texas, USA, remained for
three or four years, became dissatisfied and returned to his old county. Mrs. Barron returned with him and spent her last days in the community in which she had so long resided.
Mrs. Barron was baptized into the fellowship of the Baptist Church at Friendship in July 1850. In all her Christian life we never knew her to take any misguided steps. She always seemed to have her heart and mind set upon what God had promised his children in the end.
As a wife she was a helpmeet indeed. As a mother she was all that her children could ask. While she was indulgent and kind, her government was firm and unbending. As a neighbor she was always ready to grant any
reasonable favor. The night was never too dark nor the weather too inclement for her not to respond to the call of an afflicted neighbor. A cordial welcome always awaited her coming. The children of the entire neighborhood loved her for her kindness to them. Her charity knew no bounds as long as she was able to respond to the promptings of her great heart.
Aunt Sally, as she was familiarly known to all, is gone from our midst and her form resposes beside that of her husband. She was ready, extending her hand to those around her dying couch, she bade them farewell and gently breathed out her last. Her last words bore testimony that God is faithful in his promise that he will never leave nor farsake us. Ye fleeting charms of earth, farewell. Your springs of joy are dry, My soul now seeks a better home, a brighter world on high.
A. J. Cooper"
