"Allen J. 'Brownie' Barnes, a lifelong resident of the area and retired from the Erie Railroad in 1974 as a trackman, passed away peacefully on Friday, January 27, 2006 at his home. He was 96.
Son of the late Emmett S. Barnes and Agnes Van Gorder Barnes, he was born August 23, 1909 in Minisink Ford, N.Y.

A family statement reads: 'Brownie was a quiet, gentle man who loved the outside world around him. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, trapping, gardening and watching the birds picking berries. He loved to hunt for helgremites and gathering them with all his children for enjoyment as well as profit.
