Obituary: In Memory of Clarence Edward Barnes When looking back on the life of Clarence E. Barnes, his friends and family would agree that he had a full and fascinating life. Most knew him to be an intelligent and empathetic man who helped his friends and family when needed. Clarence was a mentor and teacher and enjoyed helping and listening to those who were down on their luck. His children remember him more than once approaching a stranger who was hungry and telling them, Ill buy you lunch, if you tell me your story. Clarence demonstrated his compassion for others throughout his life. his retirement, he found great joy when he volunteered to teach GED classes to students who had dropped out of high school. Clarences understanding of others may have come from his own humble beginnings. Clarence was born on 15, 1921 in Prairie Grove, Arkansas, the second born child of eleven to William Riley Barnes and Rosie Bell (Holt) Barnes. Clarence grew up with his older brother, Jim Drurry Barnes born 1918 and his younger sister, Esther May (Boone) born 1923. The day before his fourth birthday his little brother Calvin was born. Clarence was deeply saddened when Calvin died a short 10 months later. This sadness was increased when he was seven years old, and he lost yet another brother, Paul, only 10 months after his birth also. Two years later in 1930 when Clarence was nine, his little sister, Helen Louise (Davis) was born, followed by four more brothers and one sister; Robert Riley (1932), William Charles (1934), Lena Bernice (1937), Fred Lawrence (1939), and Elmer Theodore (1941). The Barnes family experienced humble beginnings despite their hard working nature. Clarence recalled an early Christmas when he was five. His father, Riley, would receive a dollar from his grandpa to divide among the three children at that time which included his older brother, Jim, and younger sister, Esther. used the money to buy apples and oranges. He felt those were good Christmases, and recalls that later Christmases were are and skinny. Clarence told of when he was eleven in 1932 that there was very little to eat. He would go out in the woods to hunt hickory nuts or go fishing, gigging or to hunt a rabbit which were scarce. During these years in the early 1930s, many families were experiencing difficult times and found themselves struggling to survive. Clarence was fascinated with hobos at an early age. He often would tell stories of a hobo that used to come by his house for food. Rosie, his mom, would tell the o to go out back and cut wood while she fixed him something to eat. Clarence said this hobo would come by at about the same time each year, and he would use the opportunity to ask him many questions. Clarence was very inquisitive and learned many idbits of useful information that he used later when he himself went out looking for work. Clarence was quick to tell people that there was a difference between a hobo and a bum. A hobo would work for food, but a bum begged. In of 1936, Clarence turned 15 years old. On May 14, 1936, just a few weeks before his eighth grade graduation, he joined the Civil Conservation Corps (CCC). He didn have any graduation clothes and didn want to graduate in old-patchy overalls. He was amazed four months later when he received a letter from home informing him that his teacher had issued his diploma despite his leaving for the CCCs. Clarence continued almost two full terms (11 months) with the CCCs, thus beginning is lifetime of traveling. He signed up in Haiti, Missouri then was sent to Van Buren where he worked as a rock chipper for four and a half months. He signed up quickly for the jobs out west and went to work on road construction for one month at Board Corrals, Nevada. In of 1936, Clarence was sent to Burns, Oregon to build fence for a deer and antelope refuge. He said they built 110 miles of fence including digging post holes through solid rock and cutting Juniper posts. Each young man was required to cut three Juniper posts a day, each post weighing about 75 pounds, and drag them up Steens Mountain from the lower canyon. Clarence recalled proudly getting his three posts up the mountain by one o clock while many others needed the whole day. Clarence was discharged from the CCCs on 22, 1937 and returned home to help chop cotton with his father and older brother, Jim. He then remembers leaving home just three and a half months later on 5th. He kept in his memory his first night sleeping under a tree near Cairo, Illinois. He chose his bed in the grassy part where the highway divided with cars going by on both sides of him. He put his suitcase under his head, feeling it was the safest place for him to be for that night. The next day he hitched a ride to Cobden, Illinois to pick peaches. He found a job working for John Hinkley for nine days, earning $1.50 a day, twice as much as he had received for chopping cotton. all of the peaches had been picked he went to Elwood, Indiana to work at Frasier Ketchup Factory for 25 cents an hour. He returned there for the next four summers. His travels for work also included going up north to Michigan and down south to Louisiana to pick berries. Clarence spent the next five years of his life iding the rails in search of work. He reminisced about the first time he caught a train on his way to Elwood, Indiana. He followed two other more experience os to the railyard and caught the Pennsylvania Nickleplate. He received fast training as he caught one of the oil tankers and climbed up to continued... |
