James H. Barnett, for half a century a citizen of Adams county died at his home south of the city at 6:30 o'clock Tuesday evening. He has been ailing since early spring and four weeks ago was taken down, since which time he has suffered terribly. His disease was cancer of the stomach and a cure was simply impossible. His brave daughters did their duty well, never leaving his bedside and doing all within their power to alleviate the sufferings. He was willing and ready to die and the last day was the easiest of all his illness, the end coming peacefully.
James H. Barnett was born in Harrison county, Ohio, November 16, 1832, being nearly sixty-nine years of age. He came to this county in 1849 and has lived here continuously since that time, excepting three years spent in Knoxville, Illinois, where he went in 1854 . He was also absent three years in the service of his country. He enlisted on 8/14/1862 as a Corporal. On 8/14/1862 he mustered into "I" Co. IN 89th Infantry. He was Mustered Out on 5/3/1865.
In 1855 he married Miss Lydia Andrews and to them were born ten children, eight of whom, four sons and four daughters, still survive. The mother died in 1869. Three brother and three sisters, and one half brother, Uncle John Barnett also remain. Mr. Barnett was a member of the G.A.R. and of the Masons, in which orders he was held in high esteem. The funeral services will be held at two o'clock this afternoon from the Methodist church in this city, Rev. Peters officiating.
