Died at Chicago Ill., on the 19th inst.

Mrs. Mary F. Barnes, aged sixty two years. Mrs. Barnes was the second daughter of Judge Augustus A. Olmsted, and sister of the late Col. Ten Eyck G. Olmsted, formerly county judge of Manitowoc County.

She was born at Howard, Steuben county, N.Y. She, with her mother, brother and sister, came to Manitowoc in 1852, where she has since resided until about seven years ago when she went to Chicago to reside with her only daughter Mrs. Elsie O. Ingersoll.

She was among the early arrivals to this then small village or hamlet and found everything new and with but few advantages, but she readily adapted herself to the new condition of things, and entered into pioneer life with a zest that was truly commendable. She soon developed into an ardent student of literature and human nature, and during her whole stay in Manitowoc was prominent in society and church circles, and was perhaps as well known as any lady in our midst. She wrote sharp and pointed editorials for the Manitowoc Pilot in nearly every issue during all the time that her brother, the late Judge Olmsted, published it.

She was a devoted daughter, mother, sister and friend, always plain and outspoken, no affectation, with positive opinions as to all the evils of the time, and always had a warm place in her heart for the truthful and upright, no matter how humble. She was in fact a typical woman of her time, somewhat impulsive, but acting well her part in all the varied and trying walks of life.
