The Portland Review, Tuesday, January 19, 1932

After having been confined to her bed since last May Mrs. Margaret Barnes 
passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John Marolf, Friday morning.  
She was 71 the day before.  Funeral services were held at the daughter’s home 
Sunday afternoon, Rev. John H. Stewart officiating.  Burial was in Portland 
cemetery.

Three years ago, while living with her son Herbert, at Grand Ledge, she 
suffered from gangrene in one of her feet and it became necessary to amputate 
the leg.  She had fully recovered from the effects of this when other 
complications compelled her to take to her bed.  The son, Herbert, died last 
June of lockjaw resulting from injuries when a window fell on him in the 
garage where he was employed, cutting his wrist.  She has since made her home 
with the daughter above mentioned.

Mrs. Barnes’ maiden name was Esch and her birthplace Westphalia.  She married 
Napoleon Barnes, who died nine years ago.  The children are Alton Barnes, Mrs. 
Marolf, Portland; William Barnes, Battle Creek.  There are nine grandchildren 
and four great grandchildren.

Michael Esch, Mrs. May Davis, Portland; Mrs. Albert Coumen, Christopher and 
Theodore Esch, of St. Johns, are brothers and sisters.  Robert Esch, of 
Chicago, is a half brother.

Mrs. Theodore Esch, sister-in-law of Mrs. Barnes, died at St. Johns Tuesday at 
the age of 79.
