Barnes (1839-1928), Find a Grave Memorial ID 45867329, citing Crown Hill Cemetery, Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana, USA ; Maintained by John C. Anderson (contributor 47208015) . [Includes his portrait in later years.]

Marion Co., Indiana Will Index, 1822-1938 Albert A. Barnes, LL 625

Indiana and Indianans: A History of Aboriginal and Territorial Indiana and the Century of Statehood, Volume 1
After one 
year on the farm he left it with his mother 
and the other children, and then wgrt to 
Springfield, Massachusetts, to learn the art 
of photography. That art was then in its 
crude infancy and the photographer was 
chiefly a daguerreotype artist. Having 
mastered the fundamental principles of the 
art Mr. Barnes took one of the old fash- 
ioned traveling photograph cars, drawn by 
horses, traveled about various sections of 
New England, and for a time he also had 
a studio on Broadway in New York City 
and at Providence, Ehode Island. 

In 1860, at the age of twenty-one, Mr. 
Barnes came West, opening a photograph 
studio at Rockford, Illinois. While at 
Rockford on April 2, 1861, he married 
Abby C. Clayton. He removed his photo- 
graph business to Beloit, Wisconsin, and 
while living there was drafted for the 
army, but on account of his own heavy 
family responsibilities, still contributing to 
the support of his parents as well as his 
own household, he hired a substitute. 
Leaving his wife to run the gallery at 
Beloit, he went south for the purpose of 
photographing war scenes at Murfreesboro 
and Nashville, Tennessee. 



Returning in the spring of 1864, ]Mr. 
Barnes soon afterward came to Indian- 
apolis. Here he established a gallery on 
Washington Street, at the present site of 
the New York store. Doubtless there are 
some old fashioned photographs much 
cherished by families living in Indian- 
apolis the product of Barnes, the Photog- 
rapher, who was in that business here until 
1867. 

He left photography to engage in the 
commission business, his location being 
where the W. H. Blocks store now stands.' 
He prospered as a commission man, and in 
1882 bought the Udell Works. Since then 
he has given his chief attention to this fac- 
tory for the manufacture of furniture and 
specialties. The Udell Works had had a 
varied experience and had made many fail- 
ures, but ]Mr. Barnes was more than equal 
to the task of establishing it as one of the 
most substantial plants in the industries of 
the capital city.
