Daniel Amos Barber Collection
The D.A. Barber collection was donated to the South Texas Archives by Phil McCormick, Barber’s grandson, in 2002. The donation consists of personal and business papers of Daniel Amos Barber who lived in Bee County, later moving his family to Kleberg County. He worked at several occupations throughout his life, first as a grocer, then realtor and lastly as a life insurance agent. There are also papers in the collection that pertain to John Dryder Morgan, Barber's business partner and his son-in-law. The last series of documents are the business papers of Eugene McCormick, the other son-in-law of D. A. Barber and a partner in business.
