| Notes THE PARIS NEWS, Sunday, January 16, 1910: “Mrs. O. P. Barnes, the wife of a well known farmer who lives a short distance north of Brookston, died suddenly about daylight yesterday morning. She had been troubled with her heart for a number of years, but appeared to be as well as usual when she retired Friday night and had not been complaining of not feeling well for a long time. Her husband awoke about 4 o’clock in the morning and got up and made a fire. She awoke while he was up and nursed the baby and they conversed for little while. She appeared to be very cheerful at that time and Mr. Barnes went to sleep again. At 5 o’clock he awoke again and got up to dress, when he noticed that she was breathing rather peculiarly. He raised her head up and discovered that she was in a dying condition. One of the sons was hastily dispatched for a doctor, but before the doctor, who lived only about three hundred yards away, could arrive she was dead. The deceased leaves her husband and five children, the youngest of whom was a baby two months old.” From an old scrapbook of newspaper clippings and obituaries collected by Ada Bradley Yates of High community, transcribed by Phillip Rutherford. Unnamed, undated newspaper: Died of heart trouble that had been aggravated by the birth of a child two months before. Lived at Brookston. The clipping states that she was insured for $1000 in favor of her husband and the check was in the mail. Tombstone is inscribed, “Wife of O. P. Barnes.“ |
