  LEBARRON, HARRY JOHN - Harry John LeBarron, 76, a lifelong resident of Yonkers died Friday, January 18, at St. Johns Riverside Hospital after a long illness. Harry was born November 26, 1925 in Yonkers, the son of Harry A. and Beuenna L. (LeBarron) Merwede. At age 7, he was adopted by his maternal grandparents, John P. and Carrie L. (Horton) LeBarron. He attended Yonkers elementary schools and Saunders High School. Harry went to work for the US Postal Service in 1946, first in Yonkers, then in the Scarsdale Post Office. He held several positions within the postal service, retiring in 1984 as Supervisor of Mails after 38 years of service. He also worked for Scarsdale National Bank and was still an employee of the Bank of New York (which took over Scarsdale National) at the time of his death. On June 13, 1953 at St. Marks Episcopal Church, Yonkers, he married Lorraine M. Dam who survives him. He is also survived by daughter Laura J. Castry (Mrs. Gerard) of Eastchester; daughter Lynne M. LeBarron Thomas (Mrs. Mark) and granddaughter Emma C. Thomas of Redding, CT, and a half brother, Charles Miller of Sebring, FL. Harry was an avid genealogist, tracing the Merwede family back to Adijaan van der Merwede of the Netherlands in 1601; and the LeBarron family back to the immigrant Dr. Francis LeBaron of Plymouth, MA in 1695. He was a member of St. Marks Church, the Guiding Star-Angle Lodge Free & Accepted Masons, Civil War Roundtable, Hudson River Museum, Nepera Park-Grey Oaks Association, Westchester PC Users Group, New York Genealogical & Biographical Society, Westchester Genealogical Society and National Genealogical Society.
