Thomas C. Barnes was born in Kentucky in 1840 and passed from this life in Roseville, California January 7, 1921, being over 80 years old. In his native state he grew to young manhood and at the age of 21, determined to satisfy an ardent desire to come to California, which he did in 1861, settling in Butte County, where the greater portion of his active life was spent in extensive farming and mining.
In 1863 he was united in marriage to Miss Mary Headricks also of Butte County. To them ten children were born. He had always been industrious, conscientious, and honest in his dealings with his fellow men among whom he was held in high esteem and who honored him with several positions of public trust and responsibility. He had always taken such interest in community matters as well as political affairs. Few men had lived long in California than he, and his passing marks another vacant place in the diminishing ranks of the early pioneers.
Though advanced in years, the end came very unexpectedly to himself and his loved ones. He had planned much in the new year and had begun to assemble his plans when suddenly stricken by the hand of death at the close of a busy day.
