The President of the United States was Rutherford B. Hayes. The earliest deed, dated January 26, 1883, described a parcel of land deeded from Thomas and Helen Barker to the trustees of Barker's Church (John Powers, Thomas Barker, and Berry White). This land, containing two acres, adjoined the land of Thomas Barker on the Ten Mile Center Road. At one time Barker Normal College and Business University, also known as Barker Academy, belonged to Barker Church. It had a dormitory which housed students, some from many miles away. The school burned around 1915. The Lord has indeed blessed Barker UMC with a rich heritage. <br><br><hr><h3> Our Mission Statement</h3> Barker United Methodist Church is a community living in covenant with the Triune God and with one another.
