[4] The business continued, under the same name, Henry E. Butler, J. Horace Harding (his son-in-law), Jay Cooke III, and Charles S.

[3] At the time of his death, Barney was among the oldest living veterans of the American Civil War.

In 1878, Barney and his wife purchased an old farmhouse named "Eildon" at the northwest corner of Spring Avenue and Old York Road, on land that adjoined Ogontz, his father-in-law's estate in Elkins Park near Philadelphia.

In 1947, two years after his death, the home was demolished and in 1956, the Elkins Park House apartments were built in its place.
