Barnes was born near Churdan, November 6, 1891, and died in the hospital at Des Moines, August 22, 1918, at the age of 26 years, 9 month and 16 days. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. I.M. Barnes, who have both passed on to their reward. He was married to Miss Francis McKinney, of Rinard, Iowa, August 9, 1914. To this union were born two children--Maxine and Dorris. Maxine died about a year ago. He leaves to mourn his death, his wife and little baby Dorris; five sisters and two brothers, as follows: Mrs. Tacie Ridgeway, of Dayton, Iowa; Mrs. Mae Bragg, of Cummings, Wisconsin; Mrs. Alice Cowan, of Scobey, Montana; Miss Icy Barnes, of Denver, Colorado; Mrs. Laura Gray, of Farnhamville, Iowa; Albert Barnes, of Chicago, and L.L. Barnes, of Churdan. Jesse was a brakemen on the Fort Dodge, Des Moines and Southern Interurban. He was getting off to flag a passenger train at Alleman about 13 miles north of Des Moines, when he met with the accident that caused his death. He rode on further than usual and jumped off when the car was under pretty good headway. It will never be known just how he was killed, but it is supposed that his head struck on something that crushed the back and right side of the head. The right leg was also badly cut and bruised. He was taken to Mercy hospital in Des Moines, where he passed away at about two o'clock in the afternoon. The accident occurred in the morning and he never regained consciousness. His home was in Fort Dodge, but the body was brought direct to Churdan, coming by Interurban to Rockwell city and then south on the Milwaukee, arriving here Friday afternoon at 5:25 o'clock. Jesse was born on the old farm northeast of this city and came to town with his parents when a young boy. He lived in this vicinity most of his life and leaves a large circle of friends to mourn his death. The funeral was held at the Methodist church Monday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, conducted by the pastor, Rev. J.F. Davis. The remains were laid to rest in the Churdan cemetery beside the little daughter that had preceded him to the better world. [Notes: Between 1920-1930 Jesse's wife, Frances and daughter, Doris, moved to California with her parents and she remarried Walter H. Peterson. They lived in the Butte County area. She died in 1978 in California. From a review of burials with no stones and the locations of his parents, I believe that Jesse and daughter Maxine are buried in Section F, 5-88, plots #13 and 14.]
