One feature of the quarterly con-

of the local church commencing the
services of Rev. R. O. McRae, who
is about to close his pastorate with
the church. These resolutions came

handling it's work, and additions be-
ing made will give it still better
facilities in this respect.

THOMAS j. BARNES DIES
HERE AFTER LONG ILLNESS

The death of Mr.. Thomas J
Barnes, aged 72 years, occurred
here Tuesday morning at 2:3O. at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. H
Best where he had been cared fol-
the last four weeks or so. Mr.
Barnes death followed a long period
OF failing health. Death was di-
rectly due to heart trouble from
which he had suffered for some
time, and as result of which he
had at different times suffered more
or less severe attacks.
Mr.. Barnes was we'll known here
and throughout the county, and this
section of the state. Some years
ago he was in business here, con-
Quoting music store, and since
| then he had been located in Cam
bridge, conducting a branch house
for the MunsOn music store of
GAINESVILLE, his work always having
been connected more or less closely
with the music business. The last
few years his home had been in Nc
lConnelsville again, previous to
which after his health had begun to
fail, he had resided for a time in
the country-in the Neelyville vicin-
Iity.
Mr.. Barnes was married three
times. His first wife was Miss
Sarah Welch, a welt remembered
resident of this place. They were
the parents of five children who
survive. They are Mrs. Bessie
Spence of McConnelsville, who is at
present with her husband J. E.
ISpence, in California;; Howard
Barnes who resides in GAINESVILLE:
Mrs. Edith DantZ or Anaheim, Cal. ::
Allan Barnes who is located in
Pittsburgh, and Miss Mabel Barnes.
a teacher in the Cleveland schools,
who is also at present in California.
Mr.. Barnes second wife was Miss
Jennie Spencer formerly of McCon-
nelsville. His third wife was Mrs.
Gaynella Maiden whose home is in
McConnelsville. Mr.. Barnes was
a brother of James Barnes formerly
of McConnelsville, and whose death.
occurred in California. With the
death of T. J. Barnes the last of
that family is removed.
Thos. J. Barnes was formerly a
member of the Methodist Protestant
church, later identifying himself
with the Methodist Episcopal
church. He was the possessor of a
rich voice, and in his earlier, better
days was quite prominent as a sing
er, rendering valuable service in
church choir work, and in public
gatherings of different kinds where
singers were in demand. He was
kindly in disposition and manner,
and had many friends.
For some years Mr.. Barnes was
identified with the order of Odd
Fellows, and he was at the time of
his death a member of Valley
Lodge No. Sc I. o. 0. F. His funer-
al will be held this afternoon at 2
o'clock from the M e. church here,
conducted by the pastor Rev. r. o.
NcRae, and will be under the aus
plces OF the lodge. Interment will
be made in the McConnelsville GEM
