The Cherokee Advance 6 Sept 1881 p 1
Mr. R. M. Barnes
This estimable young man died Aug. 26th, after a brief illness, at the residence
of his father near Woodstock.  The sad announcement of his death brought sorrow
to many; for it told that a noble and generous heart had ceased to beat, and
that an honest and upright life was ended. Those who had known him from his
earliest childhood loved him for the modesty of his demeanor, the nobility of
his nature, and the purity of his character. 

He has gone to his grave, loved, honored, and lamented by a large circle of
friends.  His short life is as passed away; but he has left behind a bright
example well worthy of being followed.  He was a sincere friend, a faithful
brother, and a devoted son.  His life was pure, and his death was glorious, for
he died in the full triumph of faith, and has gone to the reward of the righteous. 

May God soften this heavy and sudden blow to the bereaved family who are bowed
in the bitterness of grief and woe, and give to them the comfort of his holy
spirit, and in his tender mercy may they find resignation and peace.     A
