Dr. W. W. Barnes was also the coroner of Union Parish in the 1880's and 1890's. He was also the physician of the Schuster family, whose teenage daughter, Ida, either committed suicide or was given poison. Her death in September 1885 became a statewide sensation for many weeks and inquests. Ida is also buried at Farmerville Cemetery by her father in an unmarked grave.

DR. W. W. BARNES DEAD.
Dr. W. W. Barnes breached his last Monday morning at his residence in Farmerville after an illness of three weeks with a [unreadable] attack of fever. He died as he lived - calm and peaceful - the spark of life dying out as a flickering candle. He was in his 53nd year. His remains were interred in the Farmerville cemetery Tuesday morning with Knights of Honor ceremonies.
Dr. Barnes was one of the most prominent physicians in North Louisiana. Instinctively kind and gentle, a comforter to the sick and suffering, a man well [unreadable] in his chosen profession. Dr. Barnes' very presence in the sick chamber seemed to add renewed courage to the weary patient. He will be sadly missed in our community not only by his immediate family, to whom he was ever a kind and indulgent father, but by the community at large. He was for about twenty years a member of the Knights of Honor of Farmerville, in which order he carried a life insurance policy of $2,000.
Dr. Barnes leaves a wife, five children and a host of other relatives and friends, to whom THE GAZETTE extends deep sympathy in this great bereavement.
