Thomas Pryor "Tip" Barnes and Elizabeth Virginia
"Kittie" Strange Barnes on their wedding day, May 4,
1861.  

Tip enlisted in Co. G, 5th Ga. Inf. exactly one week
later on May 11th.  Kittie was the daughter of
Chaner Bell Strange and Nancy Elizabeth Goodson.
Kittie was born in 1844 and died about 1877 giving
birth to twins.  

Tip was born in 1839 and died 12 Oct 1905.  Both are
buried in Ellavile cemetery.  

Tip was flag bearer for the 5th Ga. Inf.  He was a
member of Co. G, 5th Ga. Inf. for four years.  There
is a very touching story written by his daughter
Tommie Curtis Barnes whose picture appears in the
Schley Photo Archives.  

The story was printed in the Schley County News on
October 19, 1905 and can be read at
