a son of Elias and Mahala (Sharp) Barnes, both also natives of North
Carolina.  He was educated in the country schools of his native State;
studied dentistry, and in 1873 went to Philadelphia, and graduated there
in the Philadelphia Dental College in the spring of 1875.  He immediately
came to Louisville and opened an office for the practice of his profession.
Since then he has graduated in medicine from the Kentucky School of
Medicine, but still practices dentistry at 621 Fourth avenue.  Dr. Barnes
is accomplished in his profession, and stands high among his professional
brethren.
