About BARNES, Henry
Mr. Henry Barnes, who recently died in the Destitute Asylum was one of the oldest colonists, having come out in the Africaine in 1836. Latterly he resided at Wirrabara, where he carried on the business of a greengrocer in a small way, but was unable to attend properly to this owing to his sufferings for some years from a cancer on his face. At length this became almost unbearable, and being without means for procuring proper attendance he sought refuge in the Destitute Asyium, where he died. Had he been a rich man the newspapers would have had an obituary notice of "Another old Colonist gone to join the great majority" — but as he was a poor — albeit honest — man, why Mrs. Grundy quietly ignored him.
