William and Eva are buried in Sodville Cemetery, at Kingsdown, Ford County, Kansas. William and Eva donated the land for this cemetery. Jesse's middle name is his paternal grandmother's maiden name (Sophia Swan Hayden and Elijah Hicks Barnes were the parents of William B. Barnes).

The information states that he was 21 yrs. old, lived at 310 West St., was employed at City Transfer Company in Hutchinson. Hair color, brown, eye color, blue.
