Mrs. Thomas Barnes, a resident of this city for over forty years, died at her home, 412 North Ninth street, Wednesday afternoon at 1 o'clock.

The deceased was born in County Mayo, Ireland, in 1830 making her 83 years of age at the time of her death. She was united in marriage to Thomas Barnes at the old home in Ireland. They came to Chicago in 1865 and about six years later they moved to this city where they made their home ever since.
The deceased is mourned by the following: her husband, one daughter, Mrs. Thomas McAuliffe, 330 Division street, two sons, Patrick and Thomas Barnes, both of this city.
The funeral will be held at 9 o'clock Friday morning at St. Irenaeus church with a high mass, followed by interment in Calvary cemetery.
