But in talking with my father, Richard Oliver Barnes, this is what he had to tell me: Memories of his father are dim as his father was killed when he was only two, in June or July of 1909. He remembers his father bringing home a little red wagon for him and seeing his legs and feet, but cannot recall his face. Dad was playing in an irrigation canal the day they brought his father home seriously injured from a fall from a horse-drawn buggy. His father and an Uncle, Bert Stewart, had been working cutting hay. They were returning home after work and were driving a team of young, barely broken horses, when the first car in the Farmington area came by, frightening the horses who bolted and started to run. Bert Stewart was driving the horses and he jumped from the buggy, throwing the reins. Charles attempted to jump, but lost his footing and fell backwards, his head hitting a rock. He lived for three days after the fall. Charles Delaney Barnes, had studied law and had passed the exams in Missouri, but for some reason it was not recorded, and so his licence to practice law in Missouri was denied. About that time he left Missouri to set up a law practice in Farmington , New Mexico, with a friend. (Palmer was the last name). Not only did he bring his family to New Mexico, but also brought his wife Elizabeth’s, parents, John and Nancy Funk. After Charles' death, his partner tried to invest what money Elizabeth had, but lost everything. This left the little Barnes family destitute. To make a difficult situation even more difficult, Elizabeth was pregnant with Omar, their last son, when her husband, Charles was killed. Charles and Elizabeth had nine children, two of whom had died as children. So Elizabeth and her young family of six were left without husband and father. They moved to a small house, actually a little barn, on the area called the "peninsula" in Farmington. Charles had intended to build a home for the family on that land. There was no water in the home and they had to carry drinking water from the town pump. There was, however, a cistern in the front yard, but the water was not drinkable. They filtered water from the ditch to use also. There was no electricity and oil lamps were the only source of light.
