Death of Edward Grant Barnhizer
Edward G. Barnhizer, one of Franklin’s younger and prominent businessmen, died Monday at 6:00 at his home No. 150 East Madison street of Bright’s disease.
While his death had been expected for several months, yet the announcement that he had died was received by his numerous friends and acquaintances with profound regret and a sense of surprise that one, who but, two or three years ago, seemed to be entering upon a promising business career and with splendid physical endurance, should be so soon cut off.
Mr. Barnhizer was born in Shelbyville May 26, 1863. He was the son of Jacob and Harriet Barnhizer. His father was born in Maryland but early became a citizen of Johnson county. He was in business in this city under the firm name of Barnhizer & Barnhizer conducting a wagon and carriage shop. He moved from here to Noblesville where he enlisted as a soldier in the 76th Regiment, Co. D, and died in 1863 while on duty.
His mother’s maiden name was Harriet Parker, she being the daughter of James Parker. She afterwards married Alexander Stoops and is still living in this city at the advanced age of 76 years.
Mr. Barnhizer had two sisters who are dead. They were Mrs. Edward Clark of Shelbyville and Mrs. J. R. Moore of Franklin, leaving an only brother, Frank P. Barnhizer, who resides northeast of the city. Mr. Barnhizer married Zelia M. Brown, November 25, 1887. He is survived by his wife and two children, Julia and Helen.
Mr. Barnhizer has spent his life in Franklin and has made many staunch friends. He had been in business as undertaker about twelve years, first being associated with his father-in-law, W. S. Brown, deceased, for four years.
Deceased was a member of Hesperian lodge No. 12, Knights of Pythias and also a Master Mason in Franklin lodge No. 107 F. & A.M. He received the degree of Royal Arch Mason in Franklin chapter No. 65 on December 5, 1898, and was created a Knight Templar, November 21, 1901, in Franklin Commandary No. 23.
The funeral was held yesterday afternoon at 2:30, conducted by Rev. Samuel Reid, assisted by Dr. L. P. Marshall. Burial at Greenlawn.

EDWARD G. BARNHIZER.
Passes Away After Long Illness – One of Franklin’s Best Known Citizens Called Away.
Edward G. Barnhizer, one of the best known citizens of Franklin, died at his home on Madison street about 6:30 Monday evening. He had been a sufferer for three years past and since October last had been confined to his home and since the middle of the past month had been gradually sinking. Death came peacefully after long suffering.
Edward Grant Barnhizer was born in Shelbyville on the 26th day of May, 1863. He was a son of Jacob and Harriett Barnhizer. The father died while serving as a union soldier in the civil war. When Edward was nine years of age the family moved to the Hurricane neighborhood in this county, and Edward lived in that community until he became a young man, when he came to Franklin. He was united in marriage to Miss Zelia Brown and to them have been born three children, two of whom, Julia and Helen, with the devoted wife survive. He is also survived by his mother, Mrs. Harriett Stoops, and one brother, Frank Barnhizer.
Mr. Barnhizer had been identified with the business life of Franklin for many years. He was engaged in the undertaking business, which business he took up and carried out as formerly run by his father-in-law, the late W. S. Brown. He was particularly fitted for the business and his wide acquaintances, sympathetic nature and kindly interest in the bereaved made him a warm friend of all. He was especially successful in his calling and had a state reputation as one of the best undertakers in the entire state. He was also interested in other business enterprises and was the largest stockholder in the Franklin Galvanized Ware Co.
He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and was earnestly and deeply interested in the various departments of church work. Especially was this true in the interest in choir work and music. He possessed a fine voice and was a leader in music and a value member of the choir. He was a member of the official board of his church and stood for advanced and practical ideas.
Politically, he was an ardent and active Republican. He was always actively identified with his party and was at one time city clerk of Franklin. He was a member of the Knights of Pythias and Masonic lodges and in the latter had advanced to a Knight Templar.
Mr. Barnhizer was a man who enjoyed a wide acquaintance. He was a man of strong character, straight-forward in all his dealings with his fellow men, thoroughly honest and of unquestioned integrity. In his death the family loses a devoted, faithful, loving husband and father, the church an active, influential and earnest member; the lodges, a firm, active worker; the city, a progressive, active, respected business man. His loss is keenly felt by all.
The funeral was held at the late home yesterday afternoon at 2:30. The services were conducted by Rev. Samuel Reid, of the M.E. church, assisted by Rev. Leon P. Marshall, of the First Presbyterian church.
