Harold Barnes Died Sunday at Vets Hospital
Gordon Harold Barnes, 37, member of Jackson City Council for several years, active church and civic leader and prominent in the business affairs of the community, died early Sunday in the Veterans Hospital in Atlanta. Death followed a long illness and resulted from a rare disease from which he has sought relief in leading hospitals of the nation.
Mr. Barnes, son of William Gordon Barnes and Mrs. Nina Garr Barnes, was born in Cochran January 31, 1916. He was educated in Jackson schools and saw active service in World War II both in the North Africa and Italian campaigns. Upon his separation from service he returned home and established the G. H. Barnes Lumber Company which he operated successfully for long period.
A public spirited citizen who was genuinely interested in the progress of his community, Mr. Barnes answered the call to civic duty and represented the second ward on the Jackson City Council. As a member of the city administration he gave careful and painstaking thought to the development of facilities that would advance the city in every progressive direction. His passing is considered a severe blow to the city government.
Mr. Barnes was a member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, was a Mason, member of the Exchange Club and was a deacon in the First Baptist Church. His high character was reflected in daily living in all these organizations.
Funeral services were held Monday at 3 p.m. in the First Baptist Church with the Rev. Gaither Briggs and the Rev. Kirk Nesbit, a former pastor of the Jackson Presbyterian Church and now of North Carolina, officiating. Burial was in the Jackson city cemetery under direction of Peacock & Ball Funeral Home.
Active pallbearers were L. W. May, J. P. Hunt, W. D. Pope, Albert Kimbell, E. M. McCord, Billy Mays. The honorary pallbearers were deacons of the First Baptist Church.
Survivors are his wife, the former Miss Elizabeth Sitton; a daughter, Elizabeth Sitton Barnes; a son, Gordon Harold Barnes Jr.; his parents and a brother, Wayne Barnes, Butts county tax collector; one sister, Mr. J. A. Sudderth of Atlanta.
