A Happy Meeting---Mr. and Mrs. Barnes of Belle Plaine, Kansas came in last week for a visit with his brother and sister Mr. A. L. Barnes and Mrs. J. A. Wimp. It was certainly a happy meeting for they had not seen each other for over 42 years. The family formerly lived in Kentucky and in 1864 Mr. Barnes left the rest of the family and located in Missouri where he lived until about three years ago when he moved to his present location, hence the meeting.
Jemima was survived by her husband, 11 of their 15 children, and at least 25 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. Funeral services were held the following morning at the Christian Church and conducted by Elder Roe. The funeral home was Wulf-Ast Motuary of Mount Hope, Kansas, whose records list the cause of death as paralysis. Funeral charges were $105.00 plus $5.00 for flowers and $10.00 for the hearse to transport her to the cemetery. Jemima Barnes was buried on January 1, 1910, the day following her death. Her funeral and burial were attended by a large number of people.
