Raeburn Barnes To Be Inducted

On Friday, April 20, 2018, Mrs. Raeburn (Epler) Barnes will be joined by a trio of twentieth-century Sidney High graduates to form the 25th induction class of the Sidney City Schools Hall of Honor. Upon her death in 1964, her will established the Raeburn E. Barnes Trust.  The designated process allowed the program to begin loaning funds to Sidney and Shelby County graduates in late 1983. Since then over 2500 students have been assisted with almost 18 million dollars.
