Notes: LAWRENCE WILLIAM BARNES. On the afternoon
of Sunday, Dec. 22, 2002, Lawrence William Barnes of Roaring Branch RR1 passed
away quietly at Carleton Senior Care in Wellsboro. He was 73 years of age.
Born
April 19, 1929, in the Lycoming County village of Langton, he was one of six
children in the family of Ardel and Edna (Hurlburt) Barnes. Lawrence was
employed for many years as a lumber grader for L.L. Baumunk & Son. As a young
man he was introduced to a girl named Grace Moyer, and before long a romance
blossomed.
They were united in marriage on Aug. 4, 1951, and together they
raised nine children. Lawrence was an active member of Canton Lodge #429, Loyal
Order of Moose, where he often engaged in one of his favorite pastimes, pitching
horseshoes. For many years he participated in their weekly tournaments.
Lawrence was also an avid hunter and fisherman, and enjoyed vegetable gardening.
He had a natural knack for things mechanical, and could often be found making
repairs on the cars of friends and neighbors. In fact, Lawrence was the kind of
man who could always be counted on to lend a helping hand whenever and wherever
necessary. Lawrence is survived by his wife of 51 years, Grace, at home; his
sons, Thomas and Sue Barnes of Canton RR2, Lawrence "Jake" and Kimberly Barnes
of Morris Run, Charles Barnes and Linda Wilber of Canton, and Michael and Nora
Barnes of Canton RR 2; daughters Nancy Nybeck of Muncy, Pam Brotzman of Grover,
Miranda Barnes of Mainesburg, and Donna and Paul Patrick of North Carolina. He
is also survived by brothers Elwin Barnes of Canton RR 3, Arthur and Thelma
Barnes of Roaring Branch, and Stephen Barnes of Beech Flats; sisters Christina
Saunders of Dushore and Frances Rupert of Montgomery; as well as numerous
nieces, nephews and cousins.
He was preceded in death by a sister-in-law,
Shirley (Fitzwater) Barnes, and a brother-in-law, Jim Saunders.
Calling hours
will be held Thursday, Dec. 26, at Morse and Kleese Funeral Home Inc., 40 N.
Center St., Canton from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., during which time members of Canton
Lodge #429 L.O.O.M. will accord honors.
Funeral and committal services will
follow at 1 p.m. with the Rev. James House, pastor of St. John's United
Methodist Church, officiating. Interment will be private. (The Daily Review,

JAMES H. SAUNDERS, 64, of Dushore (07/25/2002 The Daily Review).During the early morning hours of Wednesday, July 24, 2002,
James Harry Saunders of Dushore went home to the Lord after a prolonged stay at
Robert Packer Hospital. He was 64 years of age.
Born in Leolyn, Pa., on Oct. 6, 1937, he was one of five children in the family
of Eugene and Laura Williams Saunders.
Jim was a man who was familiar with hard work. In his early youth he labored at
the heavy tasks of farming throughout the area. Upon reaching adulthood, Jim
sought the adventure of life on the road with the Ringling Brothers Barnum and
Bailey Circus. But after a few years he realized that the life of a carney was
not for him. Jim found employment as a tractor-trailer driver, which gave him a
better lifestyle without sacrificing the adventure of the open road. Jim still
found time to work at odd jobs and do repairs for friends.
One day while working in such a capacity he chanced to meet his friend's widowed
sister. Romance was in the air, and in 1964 he married Christine Barnes Carson,
opening his heart and establishing a home for her and her children in Dushore.
Jim loved his newfound family, sharing in their joys and sorrows as any father
would. He took a job driving a truck for a local rubbish disposal company,
thereby enabling him to remain closer to home.
Jim was a self-taught mechanic, and enjoyed sharing this talent by repairing the
cars of his children and grandchildren. He was also quite adept at painting auto
bodies. He also enjoyed building model cars and collecting stamps and coins.
Not all of Jim's interests were mechanical in nature. He was an avid genealogist
who spent countless hours researching his family tree.
Jim also had a close walk with the Lord all of his life. As a youth he was
baptized into the Seventh-day Adventist Church and through the years read the
Scriptures daily. He knew his Lord on a personal basis and always tried to let
the love of Christ shine through in all that he did.
Jim is survived by his wife, Christine, at home; stepsons, Adrian and Arthur
Carson of Dushore; stepdaughter, Mildred Miller of Towanda; brothers, John
Saunders of Canton RR 3 and Francis Dean (and Ruth Ann) Saunders of McDonald,
Tenn.; sisters, Laura Jean (and George) Albinus of Cleveland, Tenn., and Phyllis
Saunders of Canton RR 3; four grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; and
numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his father, Eugene, in 1980, and his mother, Laura,
in 2000.
Calling hours will be Monday, July 29, from 10 to 11 a.m. at Morse and Kleese
Funeral Home Inc., 40 N. Center St., Canton.
Services will follow at 11 a.m. with Elder Charles Jake Randall of the Canton
Seventh-day Adventist Church officiating. Interment will follow in Grover
Cemetery.
