General Notes: Husband - Walter Dunn Barnes
For a time he attended the public schools in Bridgewater, and at the age of nine years he was sent to an orphans' school at Monaca, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, where he remained until he was ten years of age, then transferred to Butler. He then came to a farm in Shippingport, Beaver County, and there learned the blacksmith's trade. He worked at Beaver Falls for six years, then went to McCleary, and there followed his calling for a period of eighteen years. In the spring of 1913 he purchased one hundred acres of land, and engaged in general farming and stock raising. He was always active in local political matters, and held the offices of assessor, collector and constable for a number of years. He was a staunch supporter of the Republican party, a member of the United Presby-terian Church, and of the local Grange, Patrons of Husbandry.
