At Rest
Deborah Lindamood Barnes was born in the Cumberland Valley, Virginia, March 15, 1828, and passed peacefully away at the home of Frank Greeley near Gravity, Iowa, March 16, 1907, aged 79 years and 1 day. When she was nine years old she came with her parents to Hancock County, Indiana. She was converted to God when very young and united with the United Brethren church.
When 19 years old she was united in marriage with Isam Barnes. In 1846 she, with her husband, came to Iowa County, Iowa, where they built a home on the then prairie, being among the pioneer settlers of Iowa County, Iowa. Here she lived until the death of her husband, which occurred August 26, 1874. About this same time she united with the M. E. church and has always lived a faithful and consistent Christian life until she heard the "Welcome Home of the Master," whom she loved and served so well.
In 1880 she came to Taylor County, Iowa, where she has lived ever since. Since 1899 she has made her home with her daughter Mrs. F. [rank] Greeley [Rachel Jane], where she was kindly cared for in her declining years. Last November she contracted a severe cold and other afflictions from which she partly recovered. On February 24th she felt well enough to pay her son, John Barnes, a farewell visit. Here she suffered a relapse and requested to be taken back home. After four weeks of severe suffering she fell asleep in Jesus from which none ever wake to weep. Grandma Barnes was a true soldier, she died at her post, she has fought a good fight, finished her course and kept the faith. Only a few months ago she enjoyed the services of God's house; there was no place on earth where she would rather choose to be than at prayer meeting and the church services in general. She was an affectionate mother, a kind and loving neighbor. Her children rise up and call her blessed. She leaves five children as follows: Mrs. E.[dward] M. [ontgomery] Humphrey [Mary Elizabeth], Mrs. Sarah Nation, Mrs. Frank Greeley [Rachel Jane], Mrs. E. [lmer] Robbins [Amanda Aretta] and John Barnes, besides a number of friends and relatives who mourn the going away of this Godly mother.
Servant of God well done,
Rest from thy loved employ,
The battles fought, the victories
won,
Enter thy Master's joy.
Funeral services were held last Monday at the Presbyterian Church at 11 a. m., J. H. Freedline officiating. The remains were laid to rest in the Gravity cemetery where they will sleep until the morning of the Resurrection. J. H. F.
