DORA (WICKMAM) BARNES, 01 Mar 1854 - 13 Sep 1903

   Dora Wickman was born at Gratz, Germany, March 1, 1854, and was 
married to Marcus Barnes, Sept. 26, 1890, and died at her home at 
Hogback lake, Steuben county, Ind., Sept. 13, 1903, of paralysis, 
aged 49 years, 6 months and 18 days.  She leaves a husband, one 
sister and a host of friends to mourn their loss.  She was a  
member of the U. B. church and loyally served her Master, and has 
gone to dwell with Him.
   Funeral services were held at the home Sunday afternoon, Sept. 
20, conducted by Rev. C. K. Stockwell, of the Congregational 
church, Angola, and after the large company of friends and 
relatives had taken the farewell look at all that was mortal, her 
remains were tenderly laid to rest in the Mt. Zion cemetery.

ADDITONAL INFORMATION:

   Dora (Wickman) Barnes, 01 Mar 1854 - 13 Sep 1903, on 26 Sep 
1890, married Marcus H. Barnes, 1853 - 1918.  They are buried at 
Mt. Zion Cemetery, Steuben County, Indiana.

   The information in the Cemetery Book is not too clear.  No 
children are listed in Dora's obituary but the Cemetery book states 
that Maude B. (Barnes) Mills, 1876 - 1960 married George M. Mills, 
1872 - 1948.  Her mother is listed as Dora Wihelmina Frederika 
Henrietta Sofia Wiegmann Barnes.  She cannot be Dora's daughter 
because Dora did not marry Marcus until 1890.  Mary Melissa (Beck) 
Barnes is listed as having married Marcus H. Barnes on 31 Jan 1875 
in Indiana.  Maude was born in 1876 so it would fit in that Mary 
Melissa was the 1st wife of Marcus.  The Cemetery book states Mary 
died 12 Feb 1889, aged 81 or 87 years, 10 months and 2 days.  It 
most likely should be aged 31 or 37 years.  Marcus would then have 
married Dora 1« years after Mary's death.  Not being a child of 
Dora, Mary would not necessarily be listed as a survivor.
