angel, we rejoice so much more in the wholeness that with her joyful
reunion with our loving and so very missed father, grandfather and
great-grandfather has brought.
As
a lover of God's word, she memorized the Bible and could always tell you
where any specific verse is found. Her enthusiasm for teaching Sunday
school classes, complete with flannel-graft stories and songs, gave so
many a solid foundation in Christian faith and helped to develop an
early relationship with the Lord. Our Mother was the embodiment of
Corinthians 13 inspired us to all live by her example.
In
addition, Vietnamese, Korean, Laotian and Cambodian refugees, and Native
American children and adults were blessed by her dedication to teaching
English. Our Mother took great pleasure in being a mother, teacher,
grandmother, wife, sister, playmate or friend to everyone in her
presence.
Our
hearts long for her physical presence but we find solace and happiness
in her spiritual presence.

Harold J. Barnett
EMMETT, Idaho - Harold J. Barnett , died of
natural causes on Tuesday (
March 7, 2000
). He died at home in the arms of Lola, his beloved wife of 50 years. He
was 76 at the time of his death and had been ill for quite some time.
He was born on
June 5, 1923
to William Bradly Barnett and Ebbie Victoria Barnett in
Duffield
,
Va.
He was the fifth child of seven and grew up roaming the hills
surrounding his parents' home. Harold went to
Fairview
School in
Fairview
,
Va.
until he was needed at home to work on the family farm. Harold helped
his dad "peddle" vegetables to the mining camps and raised
tobacco to sell. While still a teenager, he bought his own 40 acres on
which to farm, build a home and raise a family.
In 1947, he moved to Emmett where he
worked as a ranch hand for both Little and Stringer ranches. During this
time, he met and fell in love with his soul mate, Lola. They married
Aug. 4, 1949
and later moved to the
Oregon
Slope near
Ontario
where Harold was foreman of Hironaka Farms for over 20 years. Harold's
favorite pastime was eating Lola's cooking, and she was happy to oblige
him. He always planted a huge garden and shared the produce with
everyone he knew. He also loved going to auctions to find an occasional
treasure. After Harold retired, he and Lola moved to Emmett where they
enjoyed camping and fishing. Their greatest pride was the mountain cabin
they built on land they cleared themselves which became their own piece
of heaven.
He was preceded in death by his parents;
brothers, Nelson and W.B. Barnett Jr.; sisters, Ruby Ann Arnold and
Gertrude Gerrard; grandson, Randy Ayres; stepdaughters, Maggie Dunlap
and Phyllis Nielson.
Harold is survived by a large and loving
family. From his previous marriage, Harold had two daughters and a son -
(with their spouses) Betty Jo and John Hyatt, Wanda and Carl Neely,
Roger and
Dixie
Barnett . With Lola, he was blessed with four more daughters, Judy and

evidence is that the Lane ancestry of William Lane Barr is not related

back to George Peter Bar, a Scott Co pioneer and father of Catherine
Bare Wolfe of Scott Co. Perhaps good to include the obituary to show
possible connections. DWL)
