Virginian Pilot January 16, 1901 
 Mr. Wm. H. Barnes died at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. H.I. Wicks, 
Berkley avenue, at 12:45 o'clock this morning, aged 71 years.  Notice of funeral

*****************************************************************
The death of Mr. Wm H. Barnes, which occurred at the residence of his daughter, 
Mrs. H.I. Wicks, No. 28 Berkley Avenue early yesterday morning, announcement of 
which was made in yesterday morning's issue of the Virginian-Pilot, while not 
wholly unexpected, is deeply lamented by a large circle of friends.  The 
deceased was 71 years of age and had been in failing health for some time.  He 
leaves three daughters, Mrs. H.I. Wicks, Mrs. Marina F. Sykes and Miss Maacah 
Barnes, all of Berkley.  Mr. Barnes was a resident of Norfolk County and before 
and since the War between the States was a prominent farmer.  At the beginning 
of the war he joined John F. Cooper's cavalry company and served through the 
entire conflict with devotion and bravery.  After the surrender at Appomattox he 
returned to his farm and was several times appointed land assessor for the 
district.  He accepted the position of deputy clerk of the Norfolk County Court 
in 1880, and under his nephew, Mr Alvah H. Martin, which position he held at his 
death.  By close attention to his duties and courteous deportment toward all 
with whom he had occasion to deal he made himself many and lasting friends.
He was for many years secretary of the board of stewards of the South Norfolk 
circuit of the M.E. Church South, and was made secretary of the Norfolk County 
Confederate pension board.
The funeral will be conducted from the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Wicks, 
this afternoon at 3 o'clock.  The interment will be in the family lot in 
Magnolia Cemetery
