    Biography[edit]

    Barnes was born in Weyauwega, Wisconsin, the son of William W. Barnes and Lucy Eddy Thomas Barnes.[2] He attended the public schools in Oshkosh and the law department of Columbia College, New York City.[2] He was admitted to the bar in 1876 and commenced practice in Appleton, Wisconsin, the same year. He moved to Rockledge, Florida, in 1882, where he remained about five years and continued the practice of law. He returned to Appleton, Wisconsin, and, for a time, partnered with John Goodland, the father of future Governor Walter Samuel Goodland. He was elected district attorneyofOutagamie County in 1890.[3]

    Barnes was elected as a member of the Democratic Party to the 53rd United States Congress (March 4, 1893 – March 3, 1895). While in Congress, he represented Wisconsin's 8th congressional district. He was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1894 to the 54th United States Congress.

    Personal life[edit]

    Barnes married Helen Byrd Conkey, the daughter of Theodore Conkey, in 1880. They had at least five children. Barnes died suddenly on January 16, 1904, in Appleton.[2] He was interred at Riverside Cemetery in Oshkosh.[citation needed]
