DR. GEORGE WILLIAM BARNES. 



Dr. Barnes was born in Frederick county, Virginia, December 

 9, 1825. In 1835 his family removed to Newark, Ohio- In 1851 

 he graduated from the Cleveland Homeopathic College, and 

 located at Mt. Vernon, Ohio, where he practiced his profession 

 for fourteen years. In 1865 he was elected to a professorship in 

 the Cleveland Homeopathic College, and removed to that city. 

 In 186^ failing health compelled him to resign and seek a milder 

 climate. After a year spent in traveling in California, studying 

 the climatology of different sections, he located permanently at 

 San Diego. He soon took high rank among the members ol his 

 profession in this State. In 1873 he received a spinal injury 

 from which he did not recover. In the same year the San 

 Diego Society of Natural History was organized by him and four 

 others, and he was elected its' president. He held this office un- 

 til two years ago when ill health led him to resign. Only the 

 members of this society can ever know how much its success has 

 depended upon his incessantlabors and his judicious management. 

 He was always ready to give generously of his time and money 

 for its benefit. He read many papers before the society, some 

 of them being of considerable value. One upon 'The Hillocks and 

 Mound Formations of the Pacific Coast,' attracted much atten- 

 tion from scientists throughout the country. 



Dr. Barnes was held in high honor in his profession through- 

 out this State and the Union. He held many important positions. 

 He was a member of the American Institute of Homeopathy 

 from 1853 t0 tne tmie of his death, and since 1878 he belonged 

 to the Seniors of that body. He aided in establishing the first 

 Homeopathic Medical Dispensary in Cleveland, Ohio, and 

 the Homeopathic Hospital of that city. He assisted in establish- 

 ing the Ohio Medical and Surgical Rep or ier, and was its editor for 

 a time. Since his removal to California he has been professor 

 emeritus in the Cleveland Homeopathic College. 



Dr. Barnes' high sense of honor, his purity of life, his noble- 

 ness of character, and true manliness won the respect of all, and 

 the love of many. D. Cleveland.
