DECATUR COUNTY, KANSAS OBITUARIES
BARNES, Lydia Hickock Stevens Mrs. Barnes, mother of the sheriff of Decatur County,
and sister of Wild Bill Hickock, the famous gunman, died in Oberlin last week, aged over 73. At one time during
a baseball game there everybody in the lower tiers of the ampitheater rose to see the finish of an exciting run
to the plate. Our 186 pounds of flesh intercepted her range of vision, whereupon she plunged her steel-framed parasol
clean through our body, so we thought at one time. That job put us out of her scope of vision. So, Wild Lydia Hickock-Stevens-Barnes,
is dead! |
