General Notes: Husband - Joseph F. Barnes

---

He was reared on a farm, and received his education in the rural schools of his native township and Elder's Ridge academy. Leaving school, he went to Blairsville, Pennsylvania, where he published for two years a paper called the Appalachian. He then was engaged for thirteen years in teaching in the common schools of Indiana County and the public schools of Pittsburgh. During this time his vacations were spent as a proof-reader, local reporter and staff correspondent on the papers of Pittsburgh. In 1864 he quit teaching and went to the oil country, where he remained for two years. He then came to Indiana and engaged in the jobbing, produce and oil business, which he followed successfully. He handled, some years, as much as $60,000 worth of produce and from ninety to one hundred car-loads of oil. He handled over fifty different kinds of oil.

He owned a farm near Blairsville and valuable property at Indiana, Pennsylvania. He was a member of the A. O. U. W. and Indiana Lodge, No. 313, F. & A. M., and had a beautiful P. M. jewel which was presented to him by that lodge. He was a democrat and served as school director for several terms. He was a member and deacon of the Indiana Baptist church and was for over fifteen years the superintendent of its Sunday-school. As clerk of the Indiana Baptist Association Mr. Barnes rendered valuable service to his church.
