Abraham Baer, the father of Abraham G. Barr seems to have changed to the former spelling. He was born in Bern township, April 25, 1824, and died April 30, 1905. He was buried at Bern Church, of which he had latterly served as elder. In early life he had been a member of Epler's Church. As a young man he had followed fence making (which was a recognized trade then), in both Berks and Lehigh counties, but later he bought and operated a farm of seventy acres located near Bern Church. His property now belongs to Mrs. Jacob Weivel, and the house is still left as Mr. Baer remodeled it. In person Mr. Baer was of pleasing appearance, of medium height and well built, with black hair. He married Sarah, daughter of Daniel and Catherine (Himmelberger) Gicker, and granddaughter of Daniel and Catherine Gicker, pioneer settlers. Mrs. Baer's father lived from 1801 to 1872, and her mother from 1805 to 1874. Sixteen children were born to Abraham and Sarah Baer as follows: John, of Philadelphia; Sarah Barr (m. Henry Brossman and died in 1907, aged fifty-seven); Reuben, of Womelsdorf; Frank, of Iowa; James, of West Leesport, Pa.; Amelia (deceased, m. Henry Dickenson, of Brecknock township); Henrietta (deceased, m. Amandon Bender, of Mount Pleasant); Ellen (m. Henry Stoudt); Abraham G.; Isabella, unmarried; Samuel, a farmer of Bern township; Maria, unmarried; George, a farmer in Bern township; Emma, who died aged twelve years; and Milton, who lived only eleven months.
