Edwin Barnes was born on March 15, 1864 in Shirley, Southampton, England.

He also formed an amateur music club, helped found an annual spring music festival in Battle Creek, ran the Battle Creek Conservatory of Music (until 1926), and was organist and choir director at the First Congregational Church in Battle Creek.
