C.A. Montanus. Interment was made in the Shaul cemetery. --------------- Tribute From "Ottumwa Tri-Weekly Courier," Thursday, January 20, 1916, Image 8: Mrs. Mary Barnes. Mary Shirley was born in Ireland in 1846. She came to this county in her childhood and settled in Wapello county when she was but ten years of age. She made her home Ottumwa during the greater part of her life. I 1862 she was united in marriage to Jackson Rush and to this union there were born six children of whom to daughters survive her. Mr. Rush died in 1885 and she was married again in 1888 to Jasper Newton Barnes. Mr. Barnes preceded her in death in 1900. In 1896 one of her daughters, Mrs. Alonzo Crawford passed away, leaving a little family of children, the youngest of them being but six years of age. Mrs. Barnes devoted herself to the raising of this family of children for nearly twenty years, making her home with her son-in-law, Alonzo Crawford. Though small of stature and rather frail of body she lived a life of singular devotion to her task. Her happy smile and gracious manner lighted up many a sick room in the neighborhood where she lived. She never seemed to be too tired or weary to do something for some one else. She was wonderfully sustained in her life by her faith in Jesus Christ, her Lord and Saviour. About twenty years ago she was baptized and united with the United Brethren church. About two years ago she had a slight stroke of paralysis, but she was up and doing the housework until about two days before her death. She was really sick only two days and when the old year of 1915 had nearly run its course, at 11:30 on the last day of the old year, she passed away to be with Jesus. She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. J.C. McCright and Mrs. Earl Trowbridge, both of Ottumwa, and one sister, Mrs. Catherine Leedom of this city and John Shirley of Kansas City, Mo., a brother. Also twenty grandchildren and fifteen great grandchildren. The funeral was conducted Jan. 2 by Rev. Carl A. Montanus of the East End Presbyterian church from the home of her son-in-law Alonzo Crawford, 2036 Emma street. Interment in Shaul cemetery.–Contributed.
