! Hiram, and died in the army in
1862. Her next seven years were
largely spent in the care of the
sick, until her marriage, May 5,
1857, to o. G. Barnett, a worthy
man, and substantial farmer of
this town. One son, Robert E.,
was born to them, who with his
wife and two children, occupy the
homestead Mr.. Barnett died May
6, 1894, and after his death, she
spent a year in the West. Until
within a year, she had been very
active woman; her final illness
was pneumonia, so ended a very
busy and useful life, from child
hood to old age with scarcely a
break from illness or accident.
She came of a family somewhat
notable for strictness in religious
views, and joined the COngrega-
tional church at Newbury in 1912,
and including her residence in
Salisbury, was a church member
in the town for a period of IS
wears. Her husband was a
church member for the same num-
Der of years, and her brother,
David, 67 years. The three were,
since 1867, members of the church
at West Newbury.
During her long life she sustain
ed an unbIemished Christian char
acter; she gave not only Of her
means, but herself, freely, unset
fishly, to every good cause. She
was a mother to the mOtherless
children of both her husbands, and
she knew how to minister to, the
distressed in body, and to the
troubled in mind. If to some her
views seemed narrow, and her life
austere, she looked for no more
in others than she eXacted of her
self; she was reared in strict
Puritan ways, she held them to
the end, and her end was peace.
Her funeral was attended on
Friday, Feb. LIST, Rev. Mr.. Prem
tiss preaching from Matthew SIS.
Prayer was offered by Rev. O. w.
Brock, and her burial was in the
cemetery at the town house.
Mrs. Barnett was the last of her
fathers children, and the last but
one of the fifty or more grand
children of Dea. Selah Wells.
