Book excerpt about James Barnett.
JAMES BARNETT is one of the leading business men of Indianola [Illinois]. He owns and operates an extensive livery, sales and boarding stable, and has acquired a reputation in his business that is praiseworthy. He also owns a beautiful farm of 222 acres, which he carries on in connection with his other business. ...
Mr. Barnett is the son of James Barnett .... The father was married twice, ... his second wife, the mother of the one of whom this sketch is written, was named Rosa Neil [Neal]. ...
James Barnett was born April 11, 1845, on the old Barnett homestead. where he was reared to manhood. He attended the common schools, working alternately on his father's farm. thus acquiring his knowledge of agriculture and of horses, which has served him well. In 1874 he was married to Miss Lucinda Martin, a native of Douglas County, III,, and a daughter of John and Mary (Wheeler) Martin, the latter of whom were natives of Athens County, Ohio. John Martin was married three times, Mrs. Barnett being a child of the first marriage. ...
After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Barnett resided on the old homestead, where they met all the responsibilities thrust upon them with characteristic industry and intelligence. He has since added to the old farm, so that now it is a beautiful place of about 222 acres. In 1878 Mr. and Mrs. Barnett removed to Jewell County, Kan., where they owned a quarter section of land. This move was made on account of Mrs. Barnett's heath, and while there she improved greatly. In the meantime the Kansas land rose in value, so much so, that they concluded to dispose of it, which they did to a good advantage and returned to Illinois, where they have since resided. They have an interesting family of five children, whose names are: Rose A., Wilbur J., Armilda Pearl, Edith F., and Glenwood.
Mrs. Barnett belongs to the Methodist Episcopal Church, of Indiandola, and is always found at the front in anything that will forward the interests of her chosen faith. Mr. Barnett is a member of Vermilion Lodge No. 265, A. F. & A. M., and of the Modern Woodmen. Politically there is no more ardent Republican in the State than he. ...
