Obituary.
Samuel Delabere Barker
The many friends of Mr S. D. Barker will learn with regret that his illness terminated fatally just after midnight last night. Mr Barker was a son of the late Dr Barker, and was born at Rugby, England, in 1848. He came to this colony with his parents, arriving at Lyttelton in the Charlotte Jane, with the Canterbury Pilgrims, in December, 1850. He was educated at Christ's College, and was brought up to pastoral pursuits. On the death of his father in 1873, Mr Barker went to South Africa, where he remained for a year with an exploring party. Upon returning to New Zealand he engaged in pastoral pursuits in South Canterbury until 1886. He then settled in Christchurch, and in 1887 was appointed librarian at the Supreme Court, a post which he held up to the time of his death. He has also for years acted of supervisor of the New Zealand University examinations held in Christchurch.
He was virtually the originator of the Christchurch Beautifying Society, which has done so much for the improvement of the city, and has has entire control of the native garden on the river banks between Manchester and Madras Streets, which has done so well under his care.
For several years Mr Barker acted as secretary to the Christchurch Domain Board. Mr Barker's work is the promotion of St John Ambulance in Canterbury has been one which has earned for him the commendation of all classes in the community. Though holding only the modest position of secretary, he has practically controlled the humane work done by the branch here. He has never spared time, money nor knowledge to bring the aims and objects of the St John Association before the public. By his tact he has secured he assistance of all the leading medical men to deliver lectures to candidates in the various branches, and his efforts were unsparing in procuring intelligent pupils, to whom he was ever courteous and attentive, Mr Barker in 1878 was married to a daughter of the late Colonel Lean, who was then commander of the Canterbury Volunteer District. He leaves a widow and four sons and three daughters to mourn their loss. One of Mr Barker's sons has lately returned from South Africa.
