JOHN WAITE BARNES IS DEAD
Another of Manitowoc's Pioneers Summoned to Rest John Waite Barnes, one of Manitowoc's pioneers, died Sunday morning of heart failure, his illness covering a period of but two days. Mr. Barnes was a native of Erie County, Pennsylvania, born 61 years ago. At the age of seven years he removed with his parents to Naperville, Ill., where he was employed at the printer's trade for three years. He attended school at Waukesha, this state, coming to Manitowoc in 1862. After serving for one year in the commissary department with the United States army in and about St. Louis and Cincinnati he returned to this city and engaged in the mercantile business, continuing until 1894 when, on account of failing health, he retired from active life. Mr. Barnes was married November 4, 1864 to Miss Josephine Norris. Mrs. Barnes died May 15, 1885. Six children survive Mr. Barnes, Josie S., Bessie H., Lottie, John W. and Mrs. G. W. Patchen, of this city and Bert Barnes of New York City, N.Y. One sister, Mrs.
Blank, of Granger, Ill., and one brother, James Barnes of Strawberry Point, Ia., also survive. Mr. Barnes was a man of quiet demeanor but of strong convictions and always earnest in the cause of right and justice. The funeral will be held from the late residence, corner of Eighth and St. Claire streets, Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock and will be private. Rev. S.R.S. Gray, officiating. Friends are kindly requested to omit flowers. Manitowoc Daily Herald, Monday, December 22, 1902, Page 1
