WILLIAM H. BARBOUR - Born near St. Clairsville, Belmont county, Ohio, April 1, 1836; learned printing in Ohio, coming to Providence in 1855; was a charter member of Providence Union in 1857, delegate to Philadelphia in 1865, and held many offices in No. 33 up to 1878, when the charter was surrendered. In 1864, when Ben C. Truman was Provost Marshal of Nashville, Tenn., after the Confederates had evacuated the city, he sent for Mr. Barbour to take the foremanship of a newspaper that was issued from the remains of two Nashville newspaper offices; Mr. Barbour accepted the position, but soon returned to this city. In 1873 he was foreman of the Journal. His card was received in the reorganized Providence Union July 1, 1883. He died in January, 1892."
