Excerpt from In Memory of Alfred Smith Barnes: Born, January 28th, 1817, Died, February 17th 1888
In 1848, Prof. Davies retired from business connection with Mr. Barnes, and Mr. Edmund Dwight became partner the same year. In 1849, Mr. Dwight retired, and Mr. Barnes took into partnership his brother-in-law, Henry L. Burr, who continued with him until his death in 1865. Mr. Burr was a man of signal business ability and of most genial temperament, and his loss seemed almost irreparable. Mr. S. A. Rollo, a clerk, was admitted in 1850, and some data in connection with that person and time will not be uninteresting.
