Brought Home to Final Resting Place.
The last remains of Irvin W. Barnett, a former Cle Elum resident, were recently laid to rest at Laurel Hill Memorial Park in Cle Elum.
Irvin was born in 1910, the son of Orin and Luella (Southern) Barnett. He lived with his wife, the former Mary Starkovich and three daughters for many years in the Gobbler's Nob area south of Cle Elum. He had been employed at the Volperie Fur Farm owned by the late Bob Woods, by the Chicago, St. Paul & Milwaukee Railroad, and as a miner for the Northwestern Improvement Company in the Roslyn coal mines. After sustaining a back injury in the mines, Irvin moved to Seattle in 1950 to seek other work. He died there in 1967 after a brief illness.
His survivors include his brother, Lloyd (and Lilly Bednar) Barnett and his sister, Mabel Holland, all of Seattle; three daughters; a son; four grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Many of his family members will gather at Laurel Hill before Memorial Day for a private graveside dedication, now that his remains are finally at rest "back home" and beside his wife, Mary.
Northern Kittitas County Tribune, Cle Elum, Washington, Thurs., 17 May 2001, Page 3.
He had four daughters with Mary Katherine Starkovich. Their daughters confirmed they were not legally married, and later separated.
Death Certificate No. 5135. Irvin W. Barnett
