Hrs. W. D. Barnes Passes Away.

Mrs. Arrabel Cotton Barnes died yes
terday afternoon at the residence OF
her daughter, Mrs. Laura Hopkins, and
her remains were carried over TO Mari
ana today, for burial.
Always frail, Mrs. Barnes had been
q great sufferer for many months, and
her peaceful passing away as the day
came TO a close, was a blessed release
from further pain. Her youngest son,
Mr.. Edwin Barnes, and her two dauRh-
tiers, Mrs. Laura Hopkins and Mrs.
Charles Hopkins went over TO Mariana
at noon today to be present at their
mothers funeral service which will
take place from the Episcopal church.
Mrs. Barnes will be LAID beside her hus-
band, the late Hon. VIM. ID. Barnes,
once the honored Comptroller Of the
State Of Florida.
A bright and cheerful disposition and
broad charity for all her fellow-beings
had endeared this good woman to a
large circle of frinds and relatives, by
whom her loss will be greatly felt, and
the memory of her gentle and UNI
selfish devotion to a large family Of
sons and daughters will be treasured by
them as a most precious possession.
