East Chestefield A Tribute To the Life of Mrs Rose Barnes She was the eldest child of Mr and Mrs Jas. Richardson, formerly of Royalton Twp. She was reared in a home of a large family where love and affection abounded and there was no room for selfishness. Being ambitious and energetic, she acquired a good education, taught school as a vocation, became a christian in her early life, took a prominent part in church work and was an active member of the Rebekah lodge and when she asssumed the responsibilities of her own home it was a continuation of an affectionate family and the cares of motherhood occupied her entire time. The husband and children will feel the loss most keenly in the home as well as her mother, sisters and brothers who have the deep sympathy of all. Poem ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

(Note: Below is an email I received from Jim Mann regarding the Rose BARNES obituary.) Subj: Lyons_Ohio_History Date: 7/3/00 2:40:48 PM EDT From: [email protected] To: Corpmiz Dear CPK, I really enjoyed the Rose Barnes obituary and notices. She was a sister to my Grandmother, Olive Mann. We have always enjoyed a family tradition passed down about Aunt Rose. It seems she taught school for a time at the Edgar School, a one-room school that was located at the NE intersection of US-20 & CR-12 on what now is the Barlow farm. When she was hired to teach there they warned her that two older boys would be helping at home with the fall harvest and would not be in school until later in the year, and that when they did come, most likely they would be unruly. The story is that on the first day they came, shortly they began acting up. Aunt Rose, who was a rather diminutive woman and the boys both towered over her, picked up a piece of stove wood, walked over and knocked one of those boys unconscious. She turned and asked the other if he had any problems, to which he reportedly replied, "No. Ma'am." The claim has been they caused no further problems during the time she taught there. My father could name the two boys, but it was a family name that was unfamiliar to me and has been lost. My oldest daughter (who has just finished her 11th year of teaching school!) has Aunt Rose's school bell. Bye for now, Jim Mann ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
