    Mr. Barney had been a resident of Kansas and Shawnee County for almost 68 years, coming to Kansas with his parents when two years of age from his birthplace near Bea¬trice, Nebraska. They settled on a farm about five miles north of Sil¬ver Lake in what is now Grove town¬ship. At the time the family lo¬cated there the only inhabitant were the native Indians. The influx of settlers came about a year or so later.
    Mr. Barney was united in mar¬riage to Velinda Wyatt, September 27, 1897. To this union two children were born, Joseph Dewey, of Rossville and James Earl of Topeka, j Mr. and Mrs. Barney remained on a farm in this section of the county until just a few years ago when they sold out and removed to Rossville. Since then they had lived at their home on Navarre street.
    Mr. Barney was an earnest Christian man. In early life he joined the Baptist church in Silver Lake, later transferring his member¬ship to the Methodist church there and later to the Rossville M. E. church.
    Besides his widow and two sons, other surviving relatives are five grandchildren; three brothers, Frank of Silver Lake, Ed of Gracemont, Okla., Lee of Marysville and two twin sisters Gussie and Gertie.
    Two other brothers, Clyde and Oliver and one sister, Pearl, pre¬ceded him in death.
    Funeral services were held Tues¬day afternoon, April 14, at 2:30 o’clock in the Methodist church, con¬ducted by Rev. Wright Horton of Riley, Kansas.

    Thou art where summer birds from afar, shall cross the sea.
    Thou art where music rends the air, And the world calls us forth, and thou art there.
    And our time is not far
