Daughter of Isaac Barrick and Mary Louise (Glass) Barrick. She died of illness in Hastings, Minnesota contracted on the trip from Ohio to Minnesota. She and her sister, Barbara Ann (Barrick) Anderson, are buried side by side in Hastings, Minnesota. An account of their deaths is written about by Rev. William Thompson in the book, "History of Rice and Steele counties, Minnesota," by Curtiss-Wedge, Franklyn; Jewett, Stephen, published 1910, by H. C. Cooper, Jr., Chicago. The account is as follows:

"Rev. William Thompson was one of the early pastors in
Steele county. Some years ago, in relating his early experi-
ences, he wrote as follows:

About April 1, 1855, in company with a portion of my Ohio
charge (Rev. Thompson had previously been admitted to the
ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod, and has preached
in Stark and Columbiana counties, Ohio, and at Rostraver, Pa.)
and my family, consisting of myself and wife and Joseph Hugh,
Mary E., Hamilton R., Luther M., Cornelia Jane and Louiza
Ellen, we took steamboat at Wellsville, Ohio, for the then ter-
ritory of Minnesota. After a tedious journey of about sixteen
days, we landed at Hastings at midnight, several of our number
being very sick. I can never Forget our first night's experience
in Minnesota. We were hurriedly set ashore on the bare ground,
but by placing some bedding and arranging our packboxes
around, formed a temporary shelter by placing four of our num-
ber, one at each comer, to hold a bed-quilt over the sick to keep
off the falling rain. And so we stood for about one hour, trying
to get the hotel-keeper to take us in, but as he was not willing
to receive our sick we resolved to spend the night in watching
them. Whilst we were thus engaged a Mr. Bailly, who kept a
kind of variety store (the only one in the village), came to us
and spoke kindly, and offered us the free use of his building,
telling us to make ourselves as comfortable as we could. We
gladly carried our sick into his store-room, and there, on that sad
night, and on the floor of Mr. Bailly's store, Lucetta Jane Bar-
rick died in about one hour after she was taken in ; her sister,
Mrs. James Anderson, died a few days later, and both were
buried side by side near the then village, now city, of Hastings,
and my first ministerial services in Minnesota were to perform
the funeral obsequies of those two members of my Ohio con-
gregation."

(Please note: I have been researching the cemeteries in the Hastings, Minnesota area to find Lucretia and her sister, Barbara Ann (Barrick) Anderson. This cemetery appears to be the main cemetery were they were most likely buried since they died in 1855. Many of the older headstones have been destroyed over time and it is possible that, because the family were travelling and on their way to Rice County, that they may not have even had headstones.)
