DEATH COMES TO A. E. BARNETT
Passed Away Friday After Lingering Illness.
Atrophy of the Muscles the Cause of Death of the Clerk of the District Court.
Mr. A. E. Barnett, clerk of the district court, passed away Saturday morning at about 6 o'clock, after a lingering illness of nearly three months, during which time he was confined to his bed. The physician in charge of the case intimated at the be ginning of his illness that a fatal termination was almost certain. The funeral was held from the home on West Ninth street Sunday afternoon at 12 o'clock, Rev. Thomas of the Methodist church officiating and interment was made in the Goodland cemetery.
There was a large attendance at the funeral, as he was a man widely known and universally respected. A select choir tendered four old familiar hymns, "Rock ofAges," "Lead Kindly Light," "Abide With Me," and "Asleep in Jesus." Mr. Thomas read the scriptures from Ecclesiastes 12th chapter and the 14th chapter of the Gospel of John. The text was taken from Job 12th chapter and verse 25-27. "I know that my Redeemer liveth." The sermon was brief but appropriate, remarking especially upon the abiding faith of the patriarch in his affliction that the Redeemer would come, and affirming his unwavering hope of immortality.
The floral tributes were very elaborate and beautiful, being composed of two large wreaths and a pillow of pansies and native flowers.
Abraham Estes Barnett was born in
Danville, Hendricks county, Indiana, January 26,1839, and died at Goodland, July 13,1907, being 68 years, five months and seventeen days of age. He leaves a wife, two daughters and a son to mourn his loss. He was married April 22, 1873, to Miss Sarah Helen Buchanan at Clayton, Indiana. Three children-two daughters and a son were born to them-Mrs. Belle Shmonton of Horton, Kan., Miss Grace Barnett and Mr. Fred Barnett of this city.
Mr. Barnett endeavored to enlist in the army at the time of the civil war but was rejected on physical examination, but found employment in one of the departments at Washington D.C., where he remained for some time after the war, when he returned to Indiana. After his marriage he removed to Harrison county, Mo., where he resided until 1877 when he came first to Jewell county but later homesteaded in Smith county, and later lived at Logan, Phillips county, coming from there to Goodland in 1891.
Mr. Barnett was employed for about twelve years in the railroads shops but was elected clerk of the district court in 1904 and re-elected in 1906. On both of these occasions he was elected by a very large majority.
He joined the Methodist church in 1877 but was not a member of the church in this city at the time of his death.
'Dad" Barnett, as he was familiarly called, was a good citizen, a man of few words, deliberate, calm, dispassionace and yet holding the courage of his convictions firmly, making many friends and no enemies. He was and highly esteemed.
Peace to his memory.
