William A. Barnes Obituary, Deep River Iowa - April 1923
Death of W.A. Barnes as related in the Record last week William A. Barnes suffered a stroke of paralysis sometime Tuesday night, from the effects of which he never recovered, passing away the following Friday evening. The funeral took place at 2 p.m. Sunday from the Church of Christ to Golden Rod cemetery, the rites being conducted by Elder Schondlemayer, music being furnished by a select quartette. Deceased was born in Coshocton county, Ohio, Feb. 8, 1847, and died at Deep River, Iowa, Friday, April 13, 1923, aged 76 years, one month and 5 days.
In 1872 he was united in marriage with Miss Lilly Dale Cox To this union seven children were born, Rose Bell (now Mrs. Bryan(t)* of Utah,) Joseph C.**, Mansy May (now Mrs. Wollen,) William Clyde, Sarah (now Mrs. Chamberlain,)Charles Thomas, dead, and Florence Dale, all of Nebraska.
The family moved from Ohio to Missouri and after some years residence there moved to Nebraska, where the mother died, Nov. 11, 1889. Deceased then came to Iowa, making his home with his uncle, William Kirker, near Guernsey.
On Nov. 16, 1895 he was united in marriage with Mrs. Elizabeth Fisch in Montezuma. To this union three children were born, Chester P., Mearl A. and Gladys, the latter having preceded her father in death.
In 1900 the family removed to Oklahoma, and after a residence in that state of 15 years, returned to Iowa, locating in old town where they resided until March of the present year when they moved to this place. Deceased was a rugged man, enjoying the best of health up to the day of the stroke, on that day being about town as usual. He was a good husband and father and a good neighbor, never feeling it a hardship to perform any service for a friend. He was genial, good natured and looked on the bright side of life; was moved to compassion by sickness and on Tuesday visited James Greene, who is convalescing after a long illness, never supposing he was at that time under the shadow of the black wing of death. His folks are all Methodists but he leaned toward the Church of Christ, and said that when he united with a church that would be the one. But the time never came when he took a definite stand for the Master, and altho he died without church connections yet his life was a sermon and he came nearer to serving humanity when in need than many whose names are found on a church membership register.
