1. William (Hon.) (Barnes), b. 26 May, 1524, at Pompey. N. Y .; studied at the common schools and at Manlius (N. Y.) Acad .: and at age of 15 began to teach school. The next yr. be com- meneed the study of law in office of Minard & Stan-bury, Baldwinsville, N. Y., teaching school during the winter to meet bis expenses; and, for several yrs. walking, morning and evening between the village and his father's farm, a distance of three miles. He next en- tered the Inwoffice of Hillis & Pratt and Gen. Jas. R Lawrence of Syraense, N. Y. At length, armed with letters of introduction from leading law yers of his aegnaintance and with the wages he had earned by school teaching, he went. in May, 1545. to Albany, where he effected an arrangement with the firm of Hammond & Weed, where, as clerk, he had the charge of nu extensive and increasing legal practice. He was adm. to the bar the next year, and shortly after commenced practice at A., with only : borrowed capital of ST; spredily. however, he became a partner with his old friend. Sammel II. Hammond, Esq., and thus was estab. the firm of Hammond. King & Barnes, which for many yrs. (and until its dissolution in 1551) had a large and influential practice. From 1451 to 1860, Mr. Barnes practiced alone : and in 1960 was app. Supt. of the Ins. Dept. of the State of N. Y. Previous to 1855. be had, as Special Agent and Counsel of the Bank Dept., examined the Lewis Co., and Reciprocity B:mk-, then in an insolvent condition, and the ability then displayed had attracted the atten- tion of the State Comptroller, Hon. James M. look, who. in summer of '55, designated him as a Special Commissioner for the examination of severat doubtful insurance companies in the State, all of which (fin number) were re- ported by him as fraudulent and were dis- solved by the Supreme Court of the State. These reports of Mr. Barnes led to the passage of an Act by the Legislature of 1:59, creating a State Ias. Dept., which relieved the Comp- troller's Office of the control and regulation of all insurance companies in the State ; and public opinion, with great unanimity and con- fidence pointed to Mr. Barnes as the proper hrad of the new department. Yielding to the very generally expressed wish, Gov. Morgan, in dan., 1860, nominated Mr. Barnes as Supt. of Ins .. and the Senate promptly confirmed his choice. He was re- appointed, in 1565. by Gov. Fenton. and has ably conducted the interest of the Dept. in a manner which has elicited not only publie confidence at home, but the highest'encomiums of foreign insurance jour- nals in Great Britain and Europe.

In politics Mr. Barnes, educated as a Demo- erat. exhibited. early in life, decided radical and progressive tendencies. In 1-11, although not a voter, he became a member of the " Lib- erty party," and made speeches in favor of the election of James &. Birney to the Presidency. He was very active in the organizing of that party in the counties of Onondaga and Madi- son, and remained with that organization in- til 1844, when he supported Mr. Van Buren for the Presidency, and labored for " Free Soil. Five Speech, and Free Men." He was also an enthusiastic supporter of the " Corner Stone " principles advocated by the Albany Allas. In 1556 he became an energetic member of the Republican party, having been one of the orig inators of the Saratoga and Auburn Conven- tions, and a leading man in forming the Repub-

liean organization of A bany County in the fall of 1855. He has a ways emphatically opposed the " Philadelphia Convention "and the policy of President Johnson, believing that the old landmarks of freedom, for which he has bat tled, should be maintained in the hour of vie- tory as well asdefeat. Mr. Barnes was Secretary of the New York State Kansas Committer, the lahors of which were very efficient and thorough ; and he greatly assisted in giving to the State of Kansas the Free Soil Constitution which finally was seenred at the bayonet's point. Ile was an early adherent of the temperance re form, and enlisted as a speaker in the Washing- tonian movement. He was also an initiator of various educational reforms, and, in councetion with his father, the County Superintendent of Common Schools, took charge of one of the first Teachers' Institutes ever held in this State.

In 1819 Mr. Barnes married Miss Emily P. Weed. youngest dan of Thorlow Weed. Esq. - Lift Sketchs V. V. State Officers, 1907.

2. Lucien (Barnes), b. Baldwinsville, Omondaga Co .. N. Y., Dec. 25, 1835: educated in the public schools and at fifteen years of age became a clerk in a dry goods and general store at B. After three years engag. in a larger dry goods store at Syracuse, N. Y. In 1853 he became manager of a large dry goods house in Cleveland, Ohio, where he resided up to July, 1861. His brother. the Hon. Williama Barnes of Albany, N. Y., then Sup't of the Insurance Dept. of the State of New York, offered him a position as chief clerk and cashier, which he accepted, removed to Albany, and entered upon the duties of the other. His high position of trust he filled to the satisfaction of all, heing in charge of the large deposits made by the insurance companies - both the American and foreign - having the " keys" to " several millions " in his pocket- for some ten years; at the end of the State's fiscal year, on the 30th September, the cash account always balanced and was found correct. He Wal> also Notary Public for the department.

He was very active in the militia of Albany, being a bient. in A Co., 10th Regt, N U.S. N.Y., resigning his commission in 1870.

On May 26. 1869. he was married at Albany, N. Y., to Angusta Georgia Trimble, client daughter of the late JJohn M. Trimble, the well- known architect and builder of New York City.

In November, 1569, he began the erection of an opera house on Sonth Pearl Street, Albany, N. Y. He completed the building and opened it as a theatre in fifty days, and created quite a xen-ation at the time the feat has never been ennaled since. A large brick structure, perfect in all its appointments, and at this writing. 1890, is now standing and being used as an opera honse. He named the building " Trimble Opera Honse." in honor of his father-in-law He con- tinned as a theatrical manager up to 1543, and in 1844 began to use his natural gifts as an ine ator, producing. in company with his nephew. Chas. O. Barnes, their first car coupler, continuing on to make other inventions, and producing two other patents on car conplers. The last one, pat ented in 1ssk has been adopted by the Vander bilt rai roads and many ofber of the largest railroads in the United States. He is constantly working on something in the way of an inven tion. and at the present date (1890), is a resident of Syracuse, N. Y. He has four dans, and one s., Lucien. . Ir all living, as is also his wife.

He is known in business as a very energetic. sober. trustworthy, and strictly honest man, whose word is never broken: a good friend. good neighbor, and the kindest of father -.
