.
.Oliver Barnes was born in Lowell, at the corner of Worthern and then Mechanic street, now Broadway, July 31, 1850, and until August, 1915, never left his native New England, and Lowell has been his home during his entire life with the exception of two years, 1853- 55. He is a son of Charles E. and Ann (Mason) Barnes, his father a machinist EMPLOYED on job work at the Lowell Machine Shop. In 1853 the family moved to Chicopee, where for two years Mr. Barnes was in the employ of the Ames Manufacturing Company, manufacturers of cannon. During the two years in Chicopee he perfected and patented a self-loading cannon. The model for this cannon, which was patented in 1856, is yet in the possession of C. Oliver Barnes, a cherished family relic and a memento of the only two years spent elsewhere than in Lowell.
