JOSIE NORRIS BARNES
At her home in this city, Friday, May 15, 1885, Josephine, wife of John W.
Barnes, Esq. aged 41 years.
Her native place was Milford, Maine but when twelve years of age she accompanied
her sister, now Mrs. E. I. Rand, to Manitowoc where another sister, Mrs. Emery,
already resided. From that time until her death her home was here. Friendships
were formed during those early years which were never broken until death severed
them. Among the mourners at her funeral were many who had known her during her
whole residence here and who had never during that time seen any cause to abate
the confidence, the respect, the love which she had won from them years ago,
showing that she possessed those sterling qualities which alone win and retain
worthy regard.
She was married to Mr. Barnes Nov. 4th 1866. Six children of this union survive
her. From the time of her marriage she was devoted to her home, her husband and
to her family. No want of theirs which she could supply was unsatisfied and to
them her loss is irreparable. She was a devoted member of the Episcopal church
and its interests ever lay near to her heart.
The burial occurred upon Sunday, and in every way friends testified their
appreciation of her as a woman and friend, by their presence in large numbers,
by their gifts of beautiful flowers and by every other token love and sympathy
could suggest.
"Two hand upon the breast
And labor's done
Two pale feet crossed in rest—
The race is won."
