The Portland Observer, Wednesday, January 30, 1901
Napoleon B. Barnes died at his home in Portland township northeast of town on 
Tuesday night last.  He would have been 76 years of age next March.  He was a 
native of Oswego county, N.Y., and came to Portland with his father, B. B. 
Barnes in the spring of 1840, and settled upon the farm where he died and 
where he resided ever since—nearly 61 years—and where he had led an 
industrious, honorable, upright life.  He was an ardent republican but never 
held public office.  He knew what pioneer life was like and had tasted its 
joys and sorrows.

Beside a widow he leaves five sons, N. B., George, Frank, Will, Marsena, all 
residing in this township.  

Funeral services, largely attended, were conducted from the Congregational 
church, with which he and his wife had been identified in early life, on 
Friday last.  Rev. Stevens officiated.  N. B. Barnes and Letitia Rice were 
married 48 years ago.  She is the sister of John Rice, Mrs. J. R. Davids and 
Mrs. Martin Compton of Danby.
