Lowell, Mass, Citizen, June 11th.
All the old and many of the younger citi-
zens of Searsport will remember Mr.. Barn
ey as gentle, kindly and generous-hearted
man. In business circles he was known as
man of energy and strict integrity. Short
ly after his marriage in Newton, Mass, to
Ruby A. Merrithew, a former resident of
Searsport, they returned to what had been
her home in childhood-the Merrthew
homestead. While working on the old farm
Capt. William McGilvery heard of his more
than ordinary mechanical abilities and
after few interviews induced him to take
and run the iron foundry and machine
shop. Finding more work than one could
do alone, he sent for his brother, William
Otis, to join him, and every one who knew
Searsport knew the firm. Charles was not
| only machinist and moulder but pattern
maker and gunsmith, and was first class
workman at all four trades. After ship
building went down he went to MasSachuS-
etts winters, returning to Searsport sum-
mers for several years, until his failing
health made it necessary for him to give up
active work. Since then he and his wife
have resided with their children, making
their home with Mrs. Swain during the sum-
mer and with one or the other of the re-
naming three in the winter. Even in his
weakness he was pathetically eager to help
about the house or premises Until his
Ealing eyesight made reading difficult he
was great reader, and works on geology,
natural history and travels were OF the
greatest interest to him. The disease from
which he suffered affected his speech and
| this was great trial and modification to
him. Yet he showed plainly that he under
stood and enjoyed the conversation of others
on these and mechanical subjects almost to
the last. He was confined TO his bed but
four days although he had been failing
| rapidly for two weeks and never was there
a more patient sufferer. During the last
| tWenty-four hours he frequently called in
| plain, clear tones the names of friends who
were already on the other shore, although
| at other times he was unable to articulate a
word. His wife and children were all with
| him the last week of his life and did all that
affection OF skill could suggest The tired
| hands are folded, the weary eyes are closed
and he has entered into rest There re-
maineth. therefore, a rest for the people
of God" His patient, self-sacriticing
life proclaim him one of Gods people.
