Galesburg Enterprise, Friday, March 24, 1899
Another death must be recorded as part of the history of our town. A strong 
young man of some 30 summers is taken from the busy scenes of earth. Charles 
A. Barnes, Co. A. 22 Reg. Kan. Vol., is dead. The quieting finger of death in 
the form of typhoid fever touched his heart a few minutes past 12 o'clock last 
Sunday night, and he slept, no longer disturbed by the sorrows of life. His 
death was not altogether unexpected, although his friends and relatives hoped 
for his recovery, and some believed that he would win the contest over the 
fever that had so viciously attacked him, but such was not to be. He had not 
been enjoying good health since his return from the army, but made a gallant 
fight up until a few days ago in trying to keep from taking to his bed. All 
that loving, willing hands could do, was done for him. The funeral occurred on 
Tuesday afternoon at the M.E. church, when a very feeling funeral discourse 
was delivered by Rev. B. F. Summers, after which the remains were conveyed to 
Mt. Hope cemetery, the hearse being preceded by band, soldiers of the late 
war, G.A.R. Post and the pall bearers, and was followed by relatives and a 
host of friends, both old and young. The pall bearers were comrades of the 
deceased during the late war. No larger funeral procession ever left our town. 
Five sisters, three brothers and hundreds of friends are left to mourn his 
death.
