CALVIN BARNES

DIED - At his home in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, on Saturday, March 18. Dr. Calvin C. Barnes Jr., aged 27 years.
There has but seldom occurred a death within the knowledge of the writer that has cut short so many brilliant hopes.
We have known Mr. Barnes almost from infancy and have watched his physical and mental growth as that of a boy of bright promise, a youth of more than usual quickness of intellect and steadiness of purpose and at the last, as a young and vigorous man of strong, well-balanced mind, finely educated, thoroughly equipped for his chosen life work. And then, just as he stepped forth to enter the arena, we saw him stricken with a mortal malady and after a long period of suffering, pass away. It seems too hard.
Dr. Barnes was born at Waukesha, May 4, 1860 and a few months afterward, removed to this city with his parents, where, except when absent temporarily during the course of his education, he has since lived.
He received his academic education in this city, graduating with honors in one of the earliest classes of our high school. Soon after he determined to make the medical profession his life work and with that quiet determination which was characteristic, he entered upon an extended and laborous course of study which he continued until he graduated at Rush Medical College about four years ago with very high honors, at the early age of a little over 22 years.
He was more than usually well fitted for his profession. He had not only the store of knowledge which are only acquired by unwearied patience and continuous industry but he had that natural adaption and love for his profession which goes far to make the true and in the end the highly successful physician. What the world has lost in the blighting of his young life, will never be known. After a rest of some months he entered upon the practice of his profession at Two Rivers, and was just entering upon a successful career when stricken with heart disease which in spite of all that skill and devotion could do, terminated fatally.
To the sorrowing family circle the sympathies of a large concourse of friends are freely given. The funeral services were held on Sabbath afternoon from the family residence and a very large gathering of people from all parts of the county met to pay the last tribute of respect.
