Death of Guy W. BARNES.

Guy W. BARNES was born in Fairfield, Iowa, September 1, 1866, and died at Omaha, Nebraska, July 18, 1907, in the 41st year of his life. The body was brought to this city for burial.

When eleven years of age his parents moved to Kansas. In the month of July, 1889, he was united in marriage with Miss Emma OSBORN, of Pawnee, Nebraska. Mr. BARNES was a telegrapher, and for the greater part of his active life was in the employ of the B. & M. and C., R. I. & P. railways, in Nebraska. When quite young he united with the M. E. church and remained a devoted member until called to his reward. Mr. BARNES was a strong advocate of the cause of temperance, and lost no opportunity to give his voice and vote for the suppression of the liquor traffic. He was identified with three secret orders, the I. O. O. F., M. W. of A., and the Order of Railway Conductors. The funeral was held Friday from the residence of Mrs. BRANSON, on South Third street, who is a sister of Mr. BARNES, funeral services being conducted by Rev. T. S. Pool.
