• Notes

  "Representative Men and Families of Rhode Island," pp.1658-1659; Per Roger Kenyon [son of Muriel Ora (Colwell) Kenyon] as told to Maurice Colwell Barney III by his cousin, Pamela Ruth (Barney) LaBanca, William Henry Barney (WHB) died after getting drunk and falling in a snowbank, subsequently catching lobar pneumonia (flu). His father-in-law, Maurice Gilbert Colwell (MGC), having to bury WHB in February 1907 also took ill (see Colwell family records) and died shortly (2-3 weeks) thereafter. Thus, two families lost their respective heads of the households in a very short time period. Per Glendon Colwell Hall (July 16, 1994) the Colwell/Barney (meat) business had been well on its way to making both MGC and WHB millionaires. The family business died out with these two men and was absorbed by other local businesses. Glendon Colwell Hall "Colwells of New England" record indicates WHB and Ethel Ora Colwell were married August 28, 1900, while the book "Genealogy of the Barney Family in America" [see editor's note on page 442] indicates they were married on August 31, 1900. Maurice Colwell Barney III looked up records of marriages in Providence, RI for the period 1891-1900, inclusive, and verified that the marriage date is August 28, 1900. The Barney Family Historical Association has corrected thier records too.
