Dr. Barnes was born on January 6, 1933 in Cherokee, Iowa to Mary Alice Eddy Barnes and Forrest Austin Barnes, DDS. His maternal grandparents were Arthur George Eddy and Lillian Rachel Day Eddy. His paternal grandparents were Austin B Barnes and Hannah Marie Karlson Barnes. The family moved to Ames, Iowa when he was 5 years old. He graduated from Ames High School in 1951. As the center on the Ames High School undefeated football team in his senior year he was voted 2nd Team All-State and 1st Team All-Conference. There were no playoffs so the team was selected mythical state champions and voted one of the top teams in the United States. His quarterback said that his center was the perfect center for a quarterback like him. Dr. Barnes proceeded to Northwestern University where he ran track, was in NROTC and was a member of the Delta Upsilon fraternity . He entered the US Army during the Korean Conflict and spent 2 years at Fort Hood Texas. Following his army service he continued his college education at the University of Iowa and was accepted into Dental School. In the summer of 1955 he met his future wife, Marian, was doing exceptionally well in science courses and changed his career choice to Medicine. Art and Marian were married at St. Paul Lutheran Church, Siegel, Iowa on September 16, 1956 before Marian's second year in Medical School. He graduated in 1962. They both interned at Mercy Hospital Cedar Rapids and went on to Family Practice in Cedar Rapids. After 34 years of busy practice he retired in January 1997. His life was full with much time with their sons, Michael and Eric. He took up running in the 1960s, proceeded to skiing regularly at Vail, CO, and then rode RAGBRAI twenty-five times.He enjoyed golf, going to Hawkeye football and basketball games and was able to closely follow their sons' activities in the Cedar Rapids schools and Coe College. The family enjoyed traveling to most of the United States, went to the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal and the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid. He and Marian traveled extensively outside the US, to Antarctica, Europe, and China. Also to Hawaii and Alaska. Their airplane trip around Mt. McKinley on a clear day was an incredible experience. Some of their traveling involved RVing with Winnebago groups making long-time friends from Chicago and Texas. He enjoyed geocaching with Marian and frequently said "Let's go caching today." They found 363 caches, mostly in Iowa and California but also in 15 other states. It led them to some very unusual sites. Art thoroughly enjoyed singing in the church choir, some solos, attending church services, serving on the council, going to Bible Study, and reading the Bible nearly daily. He volunteered at the Community Health Free Clinc a number of years. He was a member of the Iowa Medical Society, Linn County Medical Society and the American Academy of Family Physicians.
