M. E. BAREFIELD was born in Campbell County, Ga., December 26, 1845; he is
the fourteenth child in a family of fifteen children born to John and Anna
(Parker) Barefield.  The father was born in Georgia, and died December 27,
1883, at the advanced age of ninety-six years.  The mother was born in
North Carolina, and is now living in Georgia with one of her sons.  Our
subject enlisted, in 1863, in Company K, Thirtieth Georgia Regiment, Capt.
H. B. Morris.  He served until the close of the war.  In 1867 he came to
his present farm; his first purchase was 100 acres.  By his economy, good
management and industry he has increased this farm to 278 acres; his farm
is well improved, with a comfortable residence, which he built at a cost
of about $1,500; his other buildings cost about $300.  He was married, in
1868, to Mary E. Ladd, of this county. Two sons have blessed this marriage.
Mr. Barefield is a member of the Missionary Baptist Church.
