I bowed my knees upon his sacred grave & plucked
some pebbles in memory of his worth. I thought
of his {Susan} Lover, his Mother, his Father, his kindred
& the Saints for they all loved him, & would have
thought it a privilege blessing to have been permitted
to have droped a silent tear upon his lonely bed.

O Lorenzo thou has fallen, in thy youth as it
were A marter for the truth, in a foreign
land. But if thy God permits me to tread again
the courts of his house, in Zions land, & have
access to the sealing powers, endowments, & keys of
the kingdom of God I'll remember thee & pray
that thy exhaltations [FIGURE] may not come short
of the chiefest of thy quorums

I retired from his grave in company with my
brethren meditating upon the life of Br Barnes.
I made dilligent enquiry of the family whare
he died & of others concerning his sickness & death
And I obtained the following information.

That Elder Barnes during the last of Sept
walked one day about 13 miles vary fast to get
to the rail road in time to get the cars some part of
the way he run, got into a high state of perspiration
& ownly had time to step on board just as they
were about starting. he rode on the rail road
about 20 miles, during which time he became
entirely chilled, which flung him into a sever cold
that settelled upon his lungs brought on the quick
consumption from which he never recoverd
He attended a conference & preached several
times afterwards but was vary feble. The last
time he preached was from the following words
"There remaineth therefore a rest for the people of
God" [Hebrews 4:9] After he was confined to his bed he was
asked if he would have a physician his answer
