Editing Albert Barnes (theologian) (section)

==Death==
Barnes died in Philadelphia on December 24, 1870, of natural causes, 23 days after his 72nd birthday.  His widow wrote: 
{{blockquote|His death was sudden and entirely unexpected. His health, with the exception of his eyesight, seemed to be perfect, -- mind and body active and full of energy. The day he died, he spent the morning in the city, dined with us cheerfully as usual, and afterwards walked with my daughter about a mile and a quarter into the country, to visit some friends in deep affliction. They reached the house, and he conversed for a few minutes, when he threw back his head, breathed rather heavily, and before the physician, who was immediately summoned, could arrive, he had passed away. In an instant, as it seemed, without pain or any consciousness of entering the 'dark valley,' he was with his Saviour.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Threescore and Ten: A Memorial of the Late Albert Barnes|publisher=Hamilton, Adams, & Co.|year=1871|location=London|pages=93}}</ref>}}
