A Biography

Lee N. Barnes attended school in Toledo, and acquired a fair education. At the age of eleven he began work in the pump factory of Skidmore & Co., in Toledo, where he remained about two years. He then secured work in a box factory in that city, and subsequently spent two years as a farm hand near Rochester, Ohio. His next place of residence was Wood County, where he cleared and improved, eighty acres of wild land that had been purchased by himself and father. In 1889, in Jackson township, Mr. Barnes was united in marriage with Miss Rebecca Stimmel, and then located on his land, erecting there a good frame residrnce, and snaking other extensive improvements. In January, 1891, he came to Hoytville and purchased a restaurant and bakery. He conducted this business for a year, and then began dealing in liquors, carrying on a retail trade. He is a genial, social gentleman, and has many friends. He traded forty acres of his land for his town property, but still owns the remaining forty acres. In politics he is a stalwart Democrat and is now serving his second term as councilman. All that he possesses, he has made through his own efforts.
