His parents are Cornelius M. and Mary (Adams) Barnes, the former of whom was born in Kentucky in 1829, coming to Indiana when but three years old, with his parents, who settled near Judson on a farm.Our subjected was reared on a farm with no opportunity for an education except what he could obtain in the common schools during a few weeks in the winter months, when he had to walk two miles to the schoolhouse. Through constant perseverance and diligence, he obtained a very good practical education, so much so that he has always been enabled to manage his farming, stock and grain enterprises in a business-like manner, and has proven one of the successful financiers of his county.In 1891, he retired from farm life and rented his estate, which is located on section 26, range 9, of township 12, a very desirable country home.
