Rites Conducted
Sunday Afternoon
Was Lifelong Resident
Of City; Succumbed
After Long Illness
Funeral rites for Hugh Harlan "Bud" Barnes, a native and lifelong resident of Minden, who succumbed at 6 p.m. Friday after an illness of several years, were conducted at the family residence on East Union street at 3 p.m. Sunday by the Rev. J.J. Rasmussen, pastor of the first Methodist church of Minden.
Interment was in the Minden cemetery oin charge of the Dennis funeral home. Floral offerings were numerous.
Active pallbearers, who were chosen from a list of friends, several of whom where schoolmates and companions of his youth, were Banks McIntyre, Frank Colbert, Jules Dupuy, Ed Brown, William Harper, George Channell, Luke Garland and Charles T. Goode.
Honorary pallbearers were Garrett Story of Hope, Arkansas, Hassell Gray, Grady Gray, Bryce Hardeman, Roy Miller, Matt Lowe, Dr. S.F. Martin, Claude Huckaby, Leland Mims, Dave Mosely, Arvil Palmer and Prentiss Hough.
All members of his family , except Maurice, who was en route to his bedside from her home in Talco, Texas, were present at the death bed. The illness which caused his death had kept Mr. Barnes almost constantly confined to his bed for more than six months.
Business Connections
For many years Mr. Barnes worked as a salesman for several Minden Mercantile firms and afterwards engaged in business for himself. Following quite a period spent in the employ of the Louisiana and Arkansas railway company, he again engaged in business, but ill health compelled him several years ago to retire from active pursuits.
He was born at the family residence, an old antebellum residence at the corner of Union street and South Broadway, which was demolished several years ago to give place to a commercial building on April 8, 1880, and lived all of his life within one city block.
His father was the late Hugh A. Barnes, a former mayor of Minden, and a soldier of the Confederacy, and his paternal grandfather was Seth Barnes, an early settler of this section who came here from Georgia and was a soldier in the Indian wars of the 1830's. His mother, who died when he was six years old, was Miss Georgia Murrell, daughter of Drury Murrell, a pioneer resident of Minden from South Carolina.
He was a brother-in-law of B.S. Atkinson, Texarkana, former executive of the Louisiana and Arkansas railway company, they having married sisters. He also was a brother-in-law of Frank E. Miller, prominent citizen of San Angelo, Texas, husband of the former Fairy Burch; also of Shelton Burch of Lufkin, Texas. The late Congressman John T. Watkins was an uncle by marriage, as was the late S.D. Spann, noted educator of his day and the late John J. Carter, collector of internal revenue at New Orleans under President Cleveland and member of the legislature from Webster parish.
He is survived by his widow, the former Ethel Burch, reared at Haughton; three sons and one daughter, H.H., Jr., Searcy and Burch Barnes, all of Minden, and Mrs. J.E. McConnell of Talco, Texas. Also surviving are two grandchildren, Sandra McConnell and Linda Barnes, and a sister, Mrs. Lavert Williamson of New Orleans.
The christening of little Linda Barnes, his granddaughter, scheduled for Easter Sunday in the First Methodist church, which the grandfather had planned to attend, was appropriately moved forward and performed by the officiating minister at the bier of the deceased just prior to the beginning of the funeral services.
A friend has said of him: "The life of Bud Barnes was gentle, but like the still waters it was deep. He believed in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, and his step never failed and his hand was never weary in caring for those who were in any way dependent upon him."
