Edwin Randolph Barnes was born September 2, 1838, in Buffalo, N. Y., the son of Josiah Barnes (B A. 1825, M.D. University of Pennsylvania 1829) and Delia (Marsh) Barnes. His father, who was one of the six sons of Jonathan Barnes (B.A. 1784) and Rachel (Steele) Barnes, was one of the pioneer physicians of Buffalo. Rachel Steele Barnes was the daughter of Josiah and Elizabeth (Colton) Steele and the great-granddaughter of Mercy Bradford, who was the daughter of Major William Bradford, chief military officer of Plymouth Colony, and the granddaughter of Governor Bradford.
Stephen Barnes, who came from Long Island to Branford, Conn , about 1700 and later moved to Southington, Conn., was the earliest member of the Barnes family in this country. On the maternal side Edwin R. Barnes traced his descent to John Marsh, who came to Hartford, Conn., from England in 1636. His mother was the daughter of the Rev. Truman Marsh (B.A. 1786) and Clarissa (Seymour) Marsh, and a niece of Samuel Marsh, also a graduate of Yale in 1786.
His preparatory training was received at a private school in Bridgeport, Conn. At Yale he was given a Junior second colloquy and a Senior second dispute appointment.
He traveled in the West for some months after taking his degree, and then worked on Iona Island in the Hudson River in order to acquire a knowledge of grape culture. This, with the study of landscape gardening and rural architecture, occupied his time until October, 1861, when he entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City. He completed his medical training at the Long Island College Hospital in July, 1862, and then became ward master on the hospital transport " Daniel Webster," which carried officers and stores for McClellan's army. During General Lee's invasion of Pennsylvania in 1863 he was acting assistant surgeon of the 8th Regiment, National Guard of New York, and from May, 1864, to January, 1865, he saw service at Chattanooga, Tenn., and in Kentucky. He received his medical degree from the Long Island College Hospital in 1865, and shortly afterwards began the practice of medicine and surgery in Buffalo, being associated with his father until the latter's death in 1871. He continued in active practice until April, 1915, when he retired. From 1872 to 1878 he was an attending surgeon on the staff of the Buffalo General Hospital.
Dr. Barnes was a member of the Medical Society of the State of New York. He was much interested in art and had done some portrait painting. Although a member of the Episcopal Church, in later life he attended the First Presbyterian Church of Buffalo.
He died in that city, January 9, 1922, from arterio sclerosis, and was buried in Forest Lawn Cemetery. Dr. Barnes was married in Buffalo, June 6, 1905, to Mrs. Theresa Mitchell Osborne, daughter of William and Charlotte (Smades) Mitchell, and widow of Josiah A. Osborne. She survives him without children. Among his Yale relatives were a great-great-uncle, Rev. George Colton (B.A. 1756); a great- uncle, Rev. Marshfield Steele (B.A. 1790); three uncles, Jonathan Barnes (B.A. 1810), Julius Steele Barnes (B.A. 1815), and Alanson Abbe (M.D. 1821); a nephew, Geprge S. Buck (B.A. 1896); and four cousins, Lewis Barnes (B.A. 1847), Jonathan E. Barnes, who attended the Yale Divinity School from 1850 to 1854, Jonathan Barnes (B.A. 1885), and J. Steele Barnes (M.D. 1891).
