Another of Scioto Countys residents and a
Civil War
veteran was claimed by death Sunday evening about
7:30
oclock when the call to the land of Eternal Rest
came to
Andrew Barnett at the home of his daughter Mrs.
George
Bender in Sciotoville. Mr. Barnett who was 86
years of age
had been bedfast for five years. Infirmities caused
death
which came as an end to several years of
suffering. Despite
his months of helpless- ness, Mr. Barnett never
lost faith in
his Master and remained a firm believer that he
would do
that which is best. Andrew Barnett was born at
Paintsville,
KY. But he settled at Sciotoville while still
Young and
committed to make that village his home. He
worked as a
teamster for some years and later fought in the
Civil War,
he received an honorable detachment.
His wife, Mrs. Hulda Barnett, died in
Sciotoville some
years ago. He is the last of a family of six
children to pass
away. Surviving are seven children: Mrs.
Effie Thicken of
Sciotoville, Mrs. Nannie Carver of New
Boston, Mrs. Sadie
Stiles, Mrs. George Bender, William Barnett, and
James
Barnett of
Sciotoville, and Mrs. Flora Reed of La Verne, CA.
The deceased was well known in Sciotoville
where he led
a retired life for some years. He had a
legion of friends who
will learn of his death with genuine
sorrow. Funeral services
