J. J. BARNES DIES CLOVERDALE
J.J. Barnes, the last of the well known Barnes Bros., pioneer horse shoers who for many years conducted a horse shoeing shop on Western avenue in what is part of the present Zartman shop, died at his home near Preston above Cloverdale on last Saturday, the news being received by the Argus today, just a week after he had passed away, and it will cause sadness to his many old time friends here.
Mr. Barnes was born September 30, 1839 at Kemptville, Canada. He was one of a family of ten children. Five of the boys started west and J.J. came across on first overland train that ever ran into California on the old Central Pacific. He settled first in Petaluma where he engaged in the horse shoeing business for years. He married Miss Ella Tallant in Petaluma, September 3, 1879 and of this union were born three children, Miss Mary Ella Barnes, William Russell Barnes and Herbert Guy Barnes, both boys and their mother having passed away since.
In the late 70's he went to Cloverdale and bought the place in Oat Valley near Pop McCray's which is still occupied by J.H. Fletcher. He improved the place and then went into the horse shoeing business at the place now occupied by J.H. Fletcher. He continued in business for seventeen years retiring later on account of ill health.
He was married September 29, 1889 to Miss Jennie L. Adams and to this union was born one child, Mrs. Emily Greer who resides with the mother. The marriage took place in the Preston church of which church Mr. Barnes was a faithful member. For the last ten years he had been an invalid but bore his pain uncomplainingly and patiently. He made many friends in his business life and in a social way and was noted for his honesty in his business dealings. He was an expert horse shoer, having learned his trade in Canada before emigrating west.
He passed away Saturday afternoon at 4:45, the case of death being diagnosed as old age. The funeral services were held Tuesday morning from the Preston church, Rev. L.D. Rathbone officiating. Interment was in the Preston cemetery.
Mr. Barnes would have been 85 years old next month, had he lived.
