Nora remarried to Robert Barnett a few years after John died.
OBITUARY
Mrs. Nora E. Barnett, wife of R. L. Barnett and daughter of Judge Harder, yielded up her life on the 20th inst., and has gone to join the innumerable host beyond the tomb. Deceased was born in Shannon County Nov. 6, 1874, and her age at the time of passing to the better world was 34 years, 7 months and 14 days. At an early age she was joined in wedlock to Mr. John Barclay, who preceded her to the spirit world some years since. In time she married again. This time Robt. L. Barnett, whose wife she was at the time of her death. In 1893, she united with the Christian Church, lived a consistent life and held faithful to the last. For several years and the time of her death she was sorely afflicted with lung trouble, and her death was not a surprise to anyone, although she died suddenly. On the morning of the Winona picnic, she came in with her parents and was on the ground the better part of the day, and in the afternoon grew suddenly worse and passed into eternity almost in the twinkling of an eye. Mrs. Barnett was an estimable lady, kind, social, affectionate and affable. Her course through life made her many friends and added to this a pure Christian character, eminently fitted her for a life of happiness beyond the grave. It is true she died young; at an age when life seems bright and anticipation runs high, but maybe for all that it is best. Better to enter into the duties of a higher life while in youth than to feebly drag out a life of old age here. To mourn her loss, she leaves a father, mother, sisters and brothers, a husband and four children. On Sunday her remains were interred in the family burial ground with fitting ceremonies amid a large gathering of friends and relatives. In addition to the above, Judge Harder sent the following: On the day of the picnic, I took my daughter up to Mr. Rich's for rest and dinner; a distance of three hundred yards from the grounds. In the afternoon when we got in the buggy to return, the straps had not been fastened or came loose and the buggy ran against the team and the team ran away breaking the dash board, but soon stopped. Doubtless the exertion in trying to hold her seat in the buggy caused the trouble, but she said she did not know she was hurt. She began coughing and soon the blood gushed from her mouth and nose. She took those near her by the hand and said, 'goodbye,' and passed over to the other side. Funeral services conducted by Bros. Hahn and Despain, and the remains were turned over to the relatives for interment. She was laid to rest in the new cemetery at Winona. The Current Wave, June 25, 1908
