Obituary found in The Liberty Tribune, Friday, March 14, 1913, page 2
First paragraph can't be made out.
His parents were Richard Solom and Elizabeth Atkins Barnes. The father was a Virginian, the mother from Woodford County, Kentucky. In 182(?) the family came to Boone county, Missouri and two years later to Clay county. Rest of paragraph not legible.
Richard S. Barnes Jr. was born in Clay county, December 27, 1826. In 1835 he went west living and working in Oregon and California. He returned home by way of San Francisco to Panama and New York, thence to Missouri. He returned to California, remaining until 1865. He had enlisted for service in the Mexican war, but his company was never ordered to the front.
Mr. Barnes was married February 6, 1868 to Miss Fannie, daughter of Henry and Sarah Nall. Mrs. Barnes died five years ago. Five sons were born to them. All survive their parents - Lewis H., Edward T., Charles A., Earl M. and William E.
Mr. Barnes was a very successful farmer, and his home near Northern Junction, in Gallatin township, is one of the finest tracts of land in the county. He was a genial soul _ happy in disposition and cheerful under all circumstances. An intelligent reader, he became versed in history, and was a close student of current events. His home life was peculiarly happy and his devotion to his children and their families was a beautiful feature of his declining years. Mr. Barnes never grew old. He aged but kept ever young.
"There was no sorrow in his song, No winter in his year."
His religion, if such it may be called, was a deep reverence for the God of Nature. Design in creation to him was the eternal argument and evidence of an intelligent creation. The beauty, harmony and order of the universe taught him a deep sense of worship of the unseen and invisible God. As spring rises out of winter, immortality will survive death.
Mr. Barnes carried a Bible with him constantly and was a frequent reader of its pages.
Funeral services were held at the home of his son, William, and his wife Thursday, March 6 at noon. All details were observed in keeping with the memory of this worthy man. Mrs. Kate Cates sang very sweetly and effectively. "Face to Face." The casket was massed with beautiful flowers. The bright sunlight was a veritable benediction to the closing scene of a peculiarly significant life. Burial was made in Big Shoal cemetery alongside the graves of family.
