Brief mention was made in the Gazette. of the death of Mrs. John Barnes, which occurred on Saturday afternoon, at 3:50 o'clock, at the family home on. Mill street. The anBarnes was not unexpected to: her nouncement of passing of Mrs.

then friends, sorrowful though shrothe news was when it came. For time and during the week previous to ner Mrs. Barnes' health had a been falling death she had suffered greatly from i serious injuries that she received falling down a flight of stairs at ner home. Her general condition was weak and the injuries were SO serious that it was impossibie to do anything that might bring about her recovery, and the physicians ana nurses gave their attention to making her as comfortable as possible, pending the inevitable end. Although Mrs.

Barnes had suffered greatly since she met with the accident, her last hours on earth were peaceful, and she passed away with words of Christian faith on A her lips. Mrs. Ann Maria Archer Barnes was the daughter of David Luthenia (Hazard) Archer, who were among the pioneer residents of this section. Her father had come from Connecticut, while her mother was a native of the Fishkill section of New York state. Some 80 years ago they settled in Pittston township and there the family continued to reside for many years.

The Archer home was at first in the vicinity of the Butler mine, but later was moved to Tedrick street, just outside the Pittston city line. Here the family was in possession of a comfortable home and several acres of ground, which they tilled. The father, in addition, was one of the pioneer shoemakers in this section and went from farm to farm looking after the footwear of the pioneer residents. Mrs. Barnes was born at the homestead near the Butler mine, on March 27, 1832, having been one of the ten children born to Mr.

and Mrs. Archer. She continued to live with her parents the early part of her life and on her twenty-second birthday, March 27, 1854, was married at the homestead, on Tedrick street, to John Barnes, who had come to this country from England, a few years before.

During her long career in Pittston city, Mrs. Barnes had taken a very active part in church work and in various other enterprises in which the women of community had a part.

She was then generous beyond measure with all she possessed. Her time and money and interest were arways at the service of those in need and the religious organizations of the city never had a better friend. For many years Mrs. Barnes was an active mem'ber of the First Baptist church, but in recent years had been a member of the Methodist Protestant church, of which her husband is one of the oldest members.

Barnes was a devoted wife and mother and her many friends and neighbors will long cherish her memory for her many kindly deeds. Mrs. Barnes is survived by ner husband and the following children: Mrs. Annie Lovell and Miss Mary J. Barnes, of this city, and Mrs.
