The Evening Star (Washington, D.C.) August 5, 1868 page 4
Sudden Death.—This morning, Mr. Henry S. Barnes, a well-known and popular resident of the northern section of the city, and one of our leading butchers, died very suddenly at his residence, on M street, between 7th and 8th, aged thirty years. Mr. Barnes was apparently in ordinary health but a few moments before he died, and had given some directions as to his business. Hearing a boy crying a paper on the street, he called him, and turning to his wife remarked, “I’m fainting,” expiring in a few minutes, his disease being a neuralgic affection of the heart. Mr. Barnes has resided in the District all of his life—learned the butchering business with the Weavers and has been carrying on the business for himself for several years past, being at the time of his death one of the leading men in our markets. Mr. Barnes was a man of many excellent traits, and was very popular. He always had his hand open to relieve the needy. He leaves a widow (formerly Miss Dolly Wise) and one or two children to mourn his death. His funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon.
