[Obit]Barnet Freer of Fourth Binnewater died at the home of his daughter, Mrs Edwin Booth
of 82 Academy street, Poughkeepsie, on February 1. He would have been 87 years old on
February 6, had he lived until then, and was the oldest resident of Fourth Binnewater,
which has been his home for years. Mr. Freer was known to everyone as "Grampa Freer"
and all will mourn his loss. Always living a good Christian life he was superintendent of the
Sunday school up until his death. He fought in the Civil War, in many battles which are
studied about in school today and was wounded at the close of the war, mustered out with
good record. After the war he was employed by the Newark Lime and Cement Company, at
Whiteport as Teamster, where as usual he made many friends. There he was known as
"Pony Freer", a name which will be remembered by all that worked with him and many who
knew him by that name. His wife, Rebecca Freer, died on April 28, 1917. At that time his
children were all married and his granddaughter kept house for him, until she was married
in 1918, when he left home to live with his daughter, Mrs. George Walton, who lived in the
next house, where he could go back and forth whenever he wished. Often he would invite
someone and go "up home" as he would say, and he would prepare dinner and spend th
day with plenty of fun. His flower garden was perfect and will not be forgotten by anyone
who ever saw it. The last few years he found this too tiresome, so he made his home
with his two daughters, Mrs. Walton and Mrs. Booth. As superintendent of Sunday school
he was always willing to do his part whenever he was able to attend. On august 14, he
was going to Kingston to shop, and fell back of Van Wagermanns store sustaining a
fractured hip. He recovered nicely and was walking around using his crutch as a cane. When
cold weather came, he went to Poughkeepsie where he stayed with Mrs. Booth until his
death on Sunday morning. It came as a great shock to many of fiends and relatives.
Funeral services were held from the home of his daughter, Mrs. Booth, conducted by
the Rev. Cheeseborough of the Heading Methodist Church on February 4 at 10:30, with
interment in Old Hurley Cemetery. Pall bearers were Harry Freer, Rufus Freer, Cornelius
Chambers, Charles Palmeteir, Floyd Deitz and Fred Booth, all grandsons. The floral tributes
were many and beautiful. He leaves to mourn his loss, two daughters, Mrs. George Walton
and Mrs Edwin Booth, two sons, Walter and Myron of Binnewater, five grandsons, Robert
Freer of Lamont, Rufus Freer of Mount Marion, Fred Booth of Poughkeepsie, Harry Freer
and Jacob Freer of Binnewater, five granddaughters, Mrs Floyd Dietz of
Binnewater, Mrs. Cornelius Chambers andMrs. George Joy of Kingston, Mrs Dory Pine and
Mrs. Charles Palmetier of Poughkeepsie. Great grandchildren, Oral, Mary, and Lela Dietz,
Ulrica, Lugarda and Zona Freer, Arthur Freer of Binnewater, Ruth Freer of Lamontville,
Samuel Freer of Mt. Marion, Clifford and Howard Pine, Lois Palmetier of Poughkeepsie,
besides a big host of friends who will mourn his loss. Military services were conducted at
the American Legion Post of Poughkeepsie.
