Mr. Barney was the second son of the late Ellery Barney and was born in Milford. He resided in that place until about fifteen years ago when he moved to Bowerstown, where he conducted a blacksmith shop. In Florida, he was engaged in market gardening.

He immediately started for New York, to meet her returning with the body. They arrived in Milford, Saturday evening, at 5 o'clock, and the funeral was held from the home of his brother, Kent Barney, Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The Rev. E. R. D.
