THE EVENING CALEDONIAN 10/3/1919
GEORGE P BARRETT DIES EARLY THIS MORNING
HAD BEEN IN BUSINESS IN ST JOHNSBURY OVER 25 YEARS.

George Prescott Barrett died at his home on Portland street early Friday morning, aged 67 years, the immediate cause of death being heart failure.

Mr Barrett was born in Concord, Mass., coming of good revolutionary stock. His great great grandfather was Col. Prescott Barrett, who was distinguished for his bravery in the revolutionary war. Mr Barrett's early life was spent in Concord and there he received his education. In early manhood he removed to Lexington and for about 25 years was engaged in the hide and leather business in Boston. He married in Lexington, Miss Sarah A Wright, who died about a dozen years ago. Mr and Mrs Barrett came to St Johnsbury about 20 years ago and Mr Barrett established a plant for handling hides, skins, furs, meats and poultry food. This was incorporated in 1908 as the George P. Barrett co. and the subject of this sketch was its president and treasurer, the business being conducted in a building in Granite Square.

Mr Barrett was an active business man, and though not a member of any of the St Johnsbury Masonic bodies he was a 33rd degree Mason and affiliated with Massachusetts lodges. About eight years ago he married Miss Dicea Porter of Troy who survives him.
He also leaves three brothers, H.M. Barrett of Cranberry, NJ, Charles O. Barrett of Ann Arbor, Mich., and Edwin C Barrett of Montpelier. He leaves five sons and two daughters; George A Barrett, W.W. Barrett, associated with his father in the Barrett Corporation; Mrs Bertha Stowell of Burlington; Clarence Heywood, George P. Barrett, Jr; Ellen M. Barrett; Richard Barrett, all of St Johnsbury.
The arrangements for the funeral have not been made, but it will be held on Monday afternoon.
