Fred E. Barnett died Friday, December 2, at the home of his sister, Mrs. H.S. Simonton, at Horton, Kan., after a lingering illness of about a year with pernicious anemia. He had been in poor health for two or three years, and had fought the isidious disease corageoysly[sic], employing all the means available, and as a last resort he was taken to Excelsior Springs, Mo., where specialists were consulted and remedies sought. After thorough examination and treatment there, the case was pronounced incurable, and he was taken to Horton, where he calmly awaited the final summons.
The remains arrived here Sunday morning, accompanied by his mother, Mrs. Barnett and daughter Grace, and Mr. and Mrs. Simonton, a brother-in-law and sister of the deceased, and were taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Hartzler, old friends of the family, from whence the funeral was held.
Rev. Thomas had charge of the funeral services, and Parson Stewart, by request made the personal address and read the short obituary of the deceased.
Rev. Thomas read the 90th Psalm and a portion of the 14th chapter of the gospel of John. The text was, "I am the resurrection and the life," John 11:25. The choir sang, "Lead Kindly Light," Beautiful Islands of Sunshine," and Abide With Me." The floral offerings were beautiful and profuse. At the grave Rev. Thomas read selections from the ritual, Parson Stewart offered prayer, and the officiating clergyman pronounced the benediction. The day was furiously blustering and uncomfortably cold. The body of the deceased was laid away beside that of the father, who passed away a little over three years ago.
Fred Estes Barnett was born in Smith county, Kansas, December 28, 1878. He died in Horton, Kan., December 2, 1910, and have he lived to December 28, he would have been 32 years of age. The disease of which he died was pernicious aenemia. The family moved to Goodland, August 31, 1891, when Fred was in his 13th year. He graduated from the county high school in 1895. He was admitted to the bar as an attorney in 1898, when in his 20th year. He graduated from the Kansas University in 1931. He was formerly a member of the Methodist Episcopal church of this city, but while attending the university he united with the Unitarian church at Lawrence, Kan., of which he was a member at the time of his death. He leaves a mother and two sisters to mourn his loss. He was a profound thinker, a thorough scholar, and well versed in the law. He was industrious, enterprising, gentlemanly, a good citizen and friend. (Source: Kit Carson County Record, Dec 8, 1910, transcribed by J.S.)
