Mr. Barnes lived in Delhi until in 1888 when he moved with his family to Manchester, where he lived for several years coming to Independence in the fall of 1902 where he has since resided until the time of his death.
His eldest son, Frank H., died Apr. 15, 1903, in Green Bay, Wis., and a daughter Mrs. Rose Swartzel, passed away at her home in Quasqueton, Ia., Aug 26, 1904. Deceased was always an upright, moral, conscientious man, honest and true in all his dealings with his fellow man.
The golden rule of Life has always been his religion. He was a kind devoted husband, and a dear, and loving father, and he was esteemed and respected by all who knew him. And to all the family who feel their great loss so deeply, we extend our heartfelt sympathy. The funeral was held at the house Thursday at 9:00 a.m., and was well attended.
