OBITUARY.
MR C. M. BARKER
Mr Claude Mandeville Barker, who died at his residence, Neutral Bay, on Thursday last, was the son of the late Mr W. M. Barker, solicitor, of Sydney, and Mrs Barker, of North Sydney. He was 44 years of age. Educated at the Church of England Grammar School, North Sydney, he was a director of Ford Sherington, Ltd., and for some time a member of that firm, and later, one of the valuers of Raine and Horne for about eight years. For 30 years he held a commission in the Royal Australian Naval Brigade and Royal Australian Naval Reserve. He served in Egypt Train in 1916 and 1917, afterwards in Australia for the duration of the war. He was a prominent Church worker, and one of the moving spirits in the rebuilding of the Church of St Augustine, Neutral Bay, of which parish he held the office of church warden for two years, and was also its synod representative. He was well known in yachting circles, and was one of the oldest members of the Royal Sydney Yacht Squadron. He was also a member of the Pioneer Club. He is survived by Mrs Barker and one daughter.
