Grand Island (Nebraska) Independent Monday, 16 July 1923
In the death of Eli A. Barnes, Civil war veteran, which occurred at his home, 710 West Fourth St., at about 8 a.m. Monday, Hall county loses one of its oldest and most highly esteemed residents. Death resulted from kidney trouble, following an extended illness of over two years. For the past year, he had been bedfast. Funeral services will be held from the home at 4 p.m. Wednesday, Rev. Morton L. Rose officiating. The funeral services will be in charge of the Masons, with which order he had long been affiliated. Burial will take place in the Grand Island cemetery.
Mr. Barnes was born in Chemung county, New York, on September 14, 1837, being aged 85 years, 10 months and 2 days at the time of his death. His early youth was spent in New York state, where he attended the district schools and later Ithaca Academy, now Cornell University. He then engaged in farming until August 25, 1863, when he enlisted for service in the Civil war and was orderly sergeant of Company G, Ninth Iowa Calvary, rising to a higher rank before the close of the war. Later, he removed to Illinois and there on February 22, 1865, married Miss Nancy E. Crego, his faithful helpmate who survives him. On February 22, 1915, Mr. and Mrs. Barnes celebrated together the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage.
On March 8, 1872, Mr. and Mrs. Barnes came to Hall county, securing a homestead and residing thereon for thirteen years. They then came to Grand Island to reside, Mr. Barnes engaging in a bond, insurance and pension business. (Due to space constaints, this obituary here transcribed is edited to exclude a long description of Mr. Barnes activities and positions - many with the Masons - he held pertaining to those activities.)
During his long residence here, Mr. Barnes gained the highest respect of the entire community in which he had resided for more than a half century and was widely known. Besides his widow, a sister residing in North Dakota survives him.
