Ionia Sentinel Standard, 7 Jun 1927

Barnes Funeral Party Arrives Here Tuesday.

The body of William Lincoln Barnes who died Sunday evening following an 
automobile accident near Ypsilanti will arrive in Ionia Tuesday evening on the 
Grand Trunk evening train following the funeral services at the home of his 
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ray L. Barnes, in Detroit.  The body will be taken to the 
home of Mr. and Mrs. K. R. Smith, Jr. from where the funeral party will go 
Wednesday afternoon for a prayer service and burial in Highland Park cemetery.  
William died late Sunday in an Ypsilanti hospital following the accident in 
which as he dodged a car which appeared from an intersecting road, his 
automobile struck a cement culvert and was overturned upon him.  Surviving him 
are his parents and one brother, Austin Barnes, also of Detroit.

William was named after his grandfather, Dr. William B. Lincoln, one of Ionia’s 
pioneers and Ionia’s first physician and teacher, and was in Ionia in May, 1924 
when he unveiled the memorial tablet to Dr. Lincoln which was placed on the W. 
B. Lincoln school.  The unveiling was sponsored by Stevens Thomson Mason 
Chapter D.A.R., which was organized by the young man’s aunt, Mrs. W. L. Barnes, 
now of Atlanta Ga., and of which his grandmother Mrs. H. B. Barnes, was also a 
member.

Relatives now living in Ionia are A.B. Sibley and Charles Jennings, cousins.  
Miss Nell Sibley, also a cousin, lives in Lapeer.
