CURED at the old home near Ell Dora
do Springs, Missouri, on the 14th inst.
The senior Mr.. Barnes had been in
poor health for many years. but his
death came rather Unexpectedly at this
time. His son spent a month with
his family visiting at the old home
last November and left his father in
better health than usual. Mr. Barnes
was veteran of the civil war, having
enlisted in the United States army at
| Springfield, Missouri, on the 9Th day
of September, 1863, under Lieutenant
| Stever, and mustered into service in

scuri, going as far south as Arkansas
and Indian Territory; he was in the
battle of Big Blue, near Kansas City,
at the time the confederate general,
Marmaduke afterwards governor of
Missouri) was captured, during Cen
eIal Prices famous raid. His regi-
ment was also sent from Little Rock,
Arkansas, to Shreveport, in the spring
of 1864, under General Steele to REIN
force General Banks ON his Red river
expedition. Arriving at Camden and
learning of Banks defeat, they retreat
ed back to Little Rock, pursued by
the remains of Kirby Smiths entire
army. BY forced marches and severe
fighting the union troops arrived at
Little Rock after having been in the
saddle almost continually for Sc days
and nights. Mr.. Barnes was 60 years
| of age and leaves widow and three
sons, Frank A., manager of the Over
land Trading Co., at Gilt Edge; Thorn
as G.. who was at home when the end
came, and l.. W.. who is with McRae
& Co. at Anaconda. Thus another
chapter is ended. the battle of another
| life has been fought and the soldier.
| husband, father and friend has been
| mustered out to answer the final roll
CALI and receive his reward, which
reminds us of Longfellow's lines:
''The day is done, and the darkness
Falls from the wings of night,
As a feather is waited downward,
From an eagle in his flight"
