JAMES HENRY BARNES

   James Henry Barnes, son of the late Sarah Williams and George W. Barnes, 
aged 70, died suddenly at the home of his son, W. Wilson Barnes, at Boykins 
early last Friday morning.  He was born in Southampton County in 1873.  He 
is survived by three sons, Pfc. James Carroll Barnes, of the U.S. Army, now 
stationed at Nashville, Tenn.; Ralph K. Barnes of Newport News; W. Wilson 
Barnes of Boykins; one daughter, Mrs. James Edward Gardner of Suffolk; one

Carrsville, Mrs. B.G. Ferguson of Suffolk, Mrs. Cora Beale of Portsmouth; 
three grandchildren, a large family connection and a host of friends.

   He was an active Mason and Woodman of the World, a consistent and loyal 
member of the Boykins Baptist Church and a deacon of his church, and for many 
years teacher of the adult Bible class.  He was mail messenger at the Boykins 
post office.

   Funeral services were conducted at the Boykins Baptist Church Sunday 
afternoon by Rev. Frank B. Handley of Crewe, a former pastor, assisted by Rev.
