[Obit]Freer-at Binnewater, N.Y., Monday, February 28, 1927, Sarah Agnes,

[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 and
Mrs. 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.
