Anna Barnes passed her girlhood in West Branch. She was one of the first telephone operators here, and her sunny disposition endeared her to many friends in a business as well as social sphere.

Bridged by the ties of many families and many friends, Pasadena, Calif., and West Branch, Iowa, are "next door neighbors". It is hard to realize that twenty-one years have passed since Anna Barnes left West Branch for Pasadena. Her place in the hearts of her friends here is the same as ever, and the old home folks sympathy is with the surviving family.
