I think David was PICKING apples at C..F. Barr's. There is no evidence of a Lena Barr. I think James was referring to Laura Barr. I did a search for Lena Barr and came up with some interesting facts on the Barrs. For example, James Barr Ames was Dean of Harvard Law.
Sarah Barr Perry was his aunt and died in 1907, she was the sister of C. F. Barr. Sarah was the grandmother of George Perry, my friend Chauncy's father.

I've heard lots of stories about the Perry's from Dottie Perry. Quite an accomplished family.
Also C.F. Barr and James Roger were VP and treasurer respectively for the NIHS at the same time.
Thank you Martin and Hjalmar.
