Daughter of Grinder Wilson and Elenor B Walker Wilson.
Married Benjamin E Barnes on September 22, 1859 in Jefferson County, Iowa.
The headstone for Benjamin and Mary Barnes is now toppled over from the base.
They are buried in the same plot as Grinder and Elenor Wilson, directly adjacent to their plots.
Note: a family data sheet for Grinder Wilson compiled by several people shows the death date for Mary Barnes as 23 Nov 1918. The headstone uses the date 20 Nov 1918. However ...
Note: The headstone for Benjamin Barnes and Mary E Wilson Barnes has two date errors: The actual death date for Benjamin Barnes is October 15, 1912 (not September). The death date for Mary E Wilson Barnes is November 30, 1918 (not November 20, 1918). It is unusual to have two dates engraved wrong on a joint headstone; however this contributor discovered these discrepencies during a search for their obituaries in the Fairfield Daily Journal and found both dates on the headstone clearly conflicted with the publication dates of the obituaries.
