I had no idea Charles had been married a second time until I found the record of the marriage in the Ingham County Clerk's Office.

Then, on the 1900 Census for Meridian Twp, page 114 house 146/162

BarnesCharles HOct 1839Farmer PhebeJuly 1857

Despite the middle initial and birthdate being wrong, this is clearly our Charles. I would bet that Phebe answered the questions - she made herself ten years younger.

From The Ingham County Democrat Weds 22 Dec 1909 Page 1

Charles W. Barnes died at his home near Okemos last Thursday evening as the result of heart trouble, aged 69 years. Mr. Barnes was born in Leroy, Genesee county, N.Y., and came with his parents to the farm where he died when only two years old. He married early in life and four children, the result of the union, are still living: two sons, Archie and Angus and two daughters, Mrs. O.E. Driver of this city and Mrs. Wm. Palen, Jr. of Alaiedon. Some years ago Mrs. Barnes died, and later Mr. Barnes married Mrs. Hardenburg of this city, who died about a year ago from paralysis.
