LAST TAPS SOUND
For John Barnett, Civil War Veteran - Passed to Rest Until Great
ROLL CALL AWAKENS
Died at Little Past Midnight - Aged Wife at Point of Death
The last taps sounded Wednesday night at a little past midnight for John Barnett, one of the pioneer residents of the city and county, and a veteran of the Civil War, and this good and noble man passed into the deep sleep that known no awakening save at the last great roll call. The death of this aged man, who on last February 2nd, had reached the age of eighty-five years, was not expected. For many years he has been feeble and for the past several months both he and his wife, who is eighty-four years of age, have been at the point of death. There was no disease apparently, but only the frailties and infirmities attending extreme age - the weakness of bodies that had lived a long life and fought a noble fight. Mr. Barnett was conscious to the last and to his children who surrounded his bedside and ministered to the wants of both himself and his companion, he expressed himself as anxious for the new life. He was ever thoughtful of his good wife, who has lived with him for more than fifty-eight years, sharing both the joys and sorrows of life, and while both have been passing into the valley of death together, he called to her plaintively, as his hours grew shorter, that he was willing to go, but that he wanted her to go with him. Mrs. Barnett is now lying at the point of death, and it is feared that she cannot long withstand this bereavement. Both Mr. Barnett and his wife were born in Harrison county, Ohio but came to this county in childhood and have spent the remainder of their lives here, with the exception of five years in Illinois. They were married fifty-eight years ago, April 1, 1852, at the home of his uncle, Green Sewell, on the farm now belonging to Samuel Chronister, near this city, the marriage being performed by Rev. Samuel Humbert, a Methodist minister. The country at that time was little more than a wilderness and both Mr. and Mrs. Barnett have taken an active part in making the blooming garden that it is now. For many years they have resided in this city, their home being in the south part. Mr. Barnett was one of the few surviving veterans of the Civil war and his death causes another grievous loss to the G.A.R. of this city, whose ranks are rapidly thinning. He enlisted in Company I, 89th Indiana Volunteers, at Decatur, August 14, 1862, and was discharged at Mobile, Ala., July 19, 1865, and was with his regiment during his entire time of service. His body bore the marks of wounds received while in his country's defense, having been wounded at the battle of Tupelo, Miss., July 14, 1864, receiving a severe flesh wound in the neck. Michael Wertzberger, one of the surviving veterans, was near him at the time and helped to carry him from the battlefield to the hospital, when wounded. During his service he marched on foot 2,663 miles and participated in the following battles: Munsfordville, Ky., Sept. 14 to 17, 1862; Fort de ?usy, La., March 14, 1864; Pleasant Hills, La., April 9, 1864; Governor Moore's Plantation, La., May 8, 1864; Yellow Bayou, La., May 18, 1864; Tupelo, Miss., July 14, 1864; Nashville, Tenn., Sept. 15 and 16, 1864; Siege and Capture of Mobile, Ala., April 5th to final battle, April 9, 1865; Fort Blakely, Ala.
While her husband was serving for his country the good wife, with her children, assisted the countless other noble women at home in keeping the hearth-fires bright and cheery, and thus lending encouragement. The following children, with the widow, survive: Mrs. Joshua Barnhart, Mrs. T. R. Moore, and Miss Della. Mr. Bar (line missing) ...try of Rev. Gregg in the Methodist church in this city and has been a faithful member of that church since. The funeral will be Friday at 2 p.m. from the home on South Chestnutt street, the Rev. Powell officiating. The funeral will be attended by the G.A.R. in a body, which order will give the appropriate military burial.
