Eva MacArthur Barbour, 104, a resident of Warren, died Feb. 13 at her residence after a brief illness. She was the widow of Benjamin C. "the Egg Man" Barbour, who died in 2000.
Mrs. Barbour was born Aug. 30, 1900 in River Hebert, Nova Scotia, a daughter of George Ensley and Emma E. Sherwood MacArthur, and was a 1922 graduate of Nova Scotia Technical College with a degree in stenography and shorthand. In the mid 1920's she moved to the States, and was employed by the textile mills in Biddeford, where she met her future husband. They were married Sept. 7, 1929 in Biddeford. They resided in Massachusetts when he was transferred to plants in Brockton and Worcester, then in 1939 they bought a farm in Warren. Beginning with one milker, because Ben believed you did not go into debt, they built the family farm with a dairy herd and laying hens. Today, "BenEva" farm is owned and operated by granddaughter Sharon Chadwick, her husband Jerry and daughters Aubyn and Shelby, who bought it in 1989 after 50 years of operation by the Barbours.
During WW II, Mrs. Barbour served as a plane spotter for civil defense and was a member of the former White Oak Grange in Warren. She enjoyed music, singing and playing the piano, playing many times for the dances at the grange, coin collecting, maintaining a journal of birds she observed, growing flowers and vegetables, and was an avid writer of letters to friends and family. The family extends special thanks to "Nana's" caregivers who lovingly cared for her at her home.
Besides her husband, she is predeceased by a son Ronald Barbour, who died in 2002, and two sisters and three brothers.
