The Paris Morning News, Sun. Jan. 16, 1910

Mrs. O. P. Barnes, the wife of a well known farmer who lives a short distance north of Brookston, died suddenly about daylight yesterday morning.

She had been troubled with her heart for a number of years, but appeared to be as well as usual when she retired Friday night and had not been complaining of not feeling well for a long time. Her husband awoke about 4 o'clock in the morning and got up and made a fire. She awoke while he was up and nursed the baby and they conversed for a little while. She appeared to be very cheerful at that time and Mr. Barnes went to sleep again.

At 5 o'clock he awoke again and got up to dress, when he noticed that she was breathing rather peculiarly. He raised her head up and discovered that she was in a dying condition. One of the sons was hastily dispatched for a doctor, but before the doctor, who lived only about three hundred yards away, could arrive she was dead.

The deceased leaves her husband and five children, the youngest of whom was a baby two months old.
