IN MEMORIAM REV. WILLIAM M. BARNES. 123 



42 years he was Rector of Winterbourne Monkton near 

 Dorchester, and resigned the living owing to failing eyesight 

 in 1908. 



Mr. Barnes was unsparing in the trouble and time he 

 devoted to anything he undertook, and had considerable 

 powers of organization, which, together with his interest in 

 and knowledge of many subjects dealt with by the Club, 

 made his loss a very serious one, when about 8 years ago he 

 became unable to contribute to its Proceedings and to help 

 it in other ways. His partial blindness must have been a 

 great trial to one accustomed to make such good use of his 

 sight, but was cheerfully borne. The writer is indebted to 

 him for many acts of kind help and support in connection 

 with the Club and otherwise during a friendship of many 

 years standing. He leaves a family of two sons and two 

 daughters.
