William Barnett
1844—December 2, 1931
By J. W. West
William Barnett was born in Kentucky in 1844. His son, who furnished material for this sketch, could not remember the month or the county in which he was born. He and his three brothers were made orphans in their infancy, after the death of their father.
Brother Barnett related to the writer of this sketch the story which ardent spirits played in the suffering and poverty of his childhood. He made his home with a relative who reared him. He served the entire four years in the Civil War, and after the war married Miss Tabitha Little.
To his memory, the congregation at Duncan School House recently completed a house of worship and named it Barnett's Chapel. When he preached his first sermon in Tumbling Cove, a friend held a pine torch to furnish light for reading the Scriptures. He memorized large portions of the New Testament. When plowing in the fields he would read a verse of Scripture while the horse was turning at the end of the row, and would repeat that verse until he reached the other end of the row, where he read another verse.
He was loyal to Christ and His Church, and while tolerant of those wearing party names and those who subscribed to party human creeds, he stood like a rock wall for the New Testament pattern. He set the example for his children, and most of them, if not all, became members of the Church of Christ.
His grandson, Leslie J. Barnett, attended the College of the Bible at Lexington, Ky., and for a while preached in the Christian Church.
Father Barnett was loved and respected by all who knew him for his kindly disposition and Christian character. He never brought reproach upon the Church by unChristian acts.
He departed this life December 2, 1930, at the age of eighty-six.
