BARNES:  In this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY], Jan. 11th, Mr. Asa Barnes, aged 62 years.

Asa Barnes:  The subject of this sketch, born in Connecticut in 1810, has been well and favorably known here, as man and boy, for more than half a century, and but few have filled all the relations of life devolving upon them, better than he has.  Not given to vanities nor hollow show of things, he, with a devotion and energy truly commendable, from his boyhood, bent himself to the great duties of life, nor did he as Christian, or in his secular calling become weary in well doing.  Expecting not anything by gift but knowing the kind heavens and the just and generous earth would sell him all things for labor, like a true servant he applied himself accordingly, and being faithful over a few things at the beginning in years he came to be ruler over many.  His works are seen and have praise of men, and in view of his surroundings, we can hardly suppress the regret that Asa could not have been allowed to pass the grand climacteric into the calm and serene years of a quiet and happy old age, receiving and giving pleasure, rounding a virtuous and well spent life with a joy and a halo.  But the dread Storm was too strong for him, and he sank to his rest in peace on the evening of the 11th inst., overcome but not conquered, having made a good thing of life, and so, but one Night waits for all, and one sure pathway is trodden by all, and only trodden once.  H.P.
