obit Petaluma Weekly Argus (Petaluma, California), 30 Oct 1869
On last Tuesday morning the different church bells of this city tolled the death of Mrs. Elizabeth Barnes, a lady who had reached the advanced age of eighty-three years, seven months, and eighteen days. ......
Her funeral took place from the Baptist Church, on Wednesday last. Rev. J. W. Johnson preached the funeral sermon, from a text of her own choice, found in Job, 18:25, in connection with the words found in Job. 5:20. The following we have been allowed to copy from the discourse, which bears directly upon the more important events of her life:
Born March 8th, 1786, in the State of North Carolina, county of Burke and was married to Michael Barnes. March 8th, 1804. She and her husband were born in the same neighborhood, attended the same school, and the same church, from their childhood. In March, 1827, they removed to Indiana, where they remained twelve years, and then removed to Illinois, and lived there fifteen years. In 1854 they came across the Plains to California, with their son, Dr. T. L. Barnes, and settled in this town. In October, 1858, her husband died, since which time she has lived with her youngest son, William P. Barnes, in the old homestead. She experienced religion and joined the Baptist church in 1811. She was the mother of twelve children, six sons and six daughters, eight of whom still live, and with the exception of one daughter, all in this State. There are descendants to the fourth generation. The number of children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren number one hundred and fifty-nine.
