BARNES- At Lanesboro, Pa., Aug 8 1880, Amos Barnes, aged 82 years and 9 months. The subject of the above notice was born November 7th, 1797, in Litchfield, Conn., being the youngest son of Oliver Barnes. The brothers of Amos were Abijah, Bela, Jacob and Salma, and the sisters, Mabel, Olive and Milla. The family came to Colesville, Broome county, N.Y. in the year 1800 and settled on the bank of the Susquehanna river just above the present Quaquaga Postoffice. At that time there were but few sttlers along the valley of the Susquehanna, the county being an almost unbroken wilderness, so that Oliver Barnes was known as one of the very early settlers, and of course, Amos Barnes grew up as it were with the progress of the country, and the events of the early settlement and the scenes along the beautiful Susquehanna became interwoven in his memory from an early date to the close of his life. He helped to clear up the country and erect buildings, and thereby developed a strong individuality, energy, industry and extraordinary constructiveness, so that all along his life's pathway are left structures of his handiwork and his perseverence in the art of constructing and improving which continued to the close of his life. July 3d, 1823, he married Mary P. Welton, of Colesville, N.Y., who was born in Plymouth, Litchfield county, Conn. She died August 10th, 1849, leaving five children, all now living. August 12th, 1850, he married Mariah T. Orcutt, of Binghamton, N.Y., who still survives him. In the fall of 1843 he moved to Lanesboro, Pa. so that he was comparatively an old resident of that place. He was at one time connected with the M.E. Church, but in his later years he was non-sectarian in his religious views. He was perhaps a little eccentric, a genial and kind neighbor, friend and parent, conscientious and honest. He fought the fight of life manfully. For several years he struggled hard with sickness and poverty, but he struggled on until success seemed to crown his efforts and he amassed some wealth. His pursuits through life have been varied. A carpenter by trade, yet often turning his mind and hand to other mechanical pursuits- always devising and inventing, at one time he was engaged in distilling essentials oils, and manufacturing essences; this was about 1840. In the year 1850 he and his oldest son, Simon H. became associated in the manufacturing of castings and general machinery at Lanesboro, under the name of A.&S.H. Barnes, and he continued a partner in the business until 1875, when he retired from that business, since he has been most of the time actively engaged in building. He for several years suffered from heart disease, which actually proved fatal.--Susquehanna Journal - Wellsboro Newspaper, Aug 1880 submitted by KellyWILCOX) Kimball HEARTWOOD5@aol.com
