David W. Barnes Funeral Home is independently owned and operated by David and Carol Barnes of Coffeyville, Kansas. Our competitors, who are owned by corporations with headquarters in big cities, will oftentimes say they are family owned; however they don't mention that the family lives out of the area. This corporate environment leads to a lesser amount of revenue being reinvested in the community.
In 1849, Brown moved to the free black farming community of North Elba, New York. At the age of 55, Brown moved with his sons to Kansas Territory. In response to the sacking of Lawrence, Kansas, John Brown led a small band of men to Pottawatomie Creek on May 24, 1856. The men dragged five unarmed men and boys, believed to be slavery proponents, from their homes and brutally murdered them.
