Ionia Sentinel Standard, 20 Jan 1931

Marcena Barnes, 63, of Portland, died Sunday evening.  The funeral services will
be conducted from the home of his niece, Mrs. Frank Young, Wednesday afternoon
at 2 o’clock.

Mr. Barnes had been sick for a long time but continued to live alone, Mrs. Young
going twice daily to look after him.  One morning last week when Mr. Young went
to see the aged man he found that he was badly burned about the knee and an
inquiry failed to reveal just how the accident to Mr. Barnes happened, but it is
believed that he went to sleep while his leg was so close to the stove and the
clothing caught fire.

He was one of a family of five boys, one of whom, William Barnes, of Charlevoix,
survives.

[Transcriber’s note:  There is a notation on the obituary card that he was
buried in Portland Cemetery.]
