ISAAC C. BARNES.
Isaac C. Barnes, a public spirited citizen and well known
resident of Pierce county, has a nice farm under first-classimprovement, in section twenty-one, township twenty-six, and rangefour, making for him a most creditable and desirable home. He isconsidered one of the old-timers in this region, and has taken anactive part in the development of the community in which he chosehis home some twenty-eight years ago.
Mr. Barnes was born March 4, 1842, in Kalamazoo, Michigan,
and is a son of Lucius A. Barnes who was born in 1809, and Kizziah(Dexter) Barnes, born in 1818, both natives of New York state.
Mr. Barnes is a representative man, having served his country
in the civil war from 1863 to 1865, just two years, two months,and nineteen days. He enlisted in company E, Tenth Michigancavalry, being on detached duty in Tennessee most of the time. Hehas also served his present home county, having held the office ofprecinct assessor for eighteen years, beginning soon aftersettling in Pierce county.
Our subject was married in Middleville, Barry county,
Michigan, to Miss Mary Hutchins, September 7, 1867. Eight childrenwere born to them, named as follows: Fred, who died in 1884, Lucy,married William H. Smith of Niobrara; Edwin, who died in 1879;Melzar; Sarah, married I. B. Lintt, living near Stanton; Kissiah,married John Calhune and lives in Colorado; Joe, and Mary, whomarried Lewis Walton and lives in Pierce county.
In the fall of 1882, Mr. Barnes drove through from Michigan
to Nebraska, and filed on a tree claim of eighty acres in sectiontwenty-nine, township twenty-six, range four, and also apre-emption claim of equal amount in section twenty-nine, to whichhe added forty acres by purchase. His first house was built of sodand cotton-wood slabs, and seven years later he built a framehouse. Mr. Barnes has experienced all the hardships of the earlysettlers' lot, having lost his crops in 1873, 1874 and 1875through the memorable grasshopper raids of that period, andsuffered from the blizzards of 1870 and 1871, the latter occurringnear the middle of April and lasting three days. He says thewinter of 1871-1872 was the worst winter of his recollection.Cornstalks were used for fuel for several winters after coming toNebraska.
Our subject votes the republican ticket, and as before
stated, held the office of precinct assessor for eighteen years,between 1881 and 1901. During his early administration of theoffice, his precinct comprised two and one-half congressionaltownships, but later was reduced by one township.Date: 26 Dec 2005
