James Barney

James Barney died Friday.  His age was 38 years, 6 months.

“Jim” Barney gave his life for his fellows as much as though he had 
been a soldier in the trenches.  Early in the local epidemic he began 
helping to care for the sick, moving them to the hospitals and helping 
in those places.  The women who have heroically borne The burdens of 
nursing speak most earnestly regarding his aid.  He became ill during 
that service, and was convinced from the first that he would not 
recover.

He had been in this locality for several years, most of the time as an 
employee of the Mono Power Company.

A sister, Mrs. Anna Warnke, of Nevada City, Cal., telegraphed 
directions for shipment of the remains, but the message did not arrive 
until too late.
