W. E. BARNETT, EX-
RIDGEPORTER, DIES
in PINEHURST, N. C.
Former Vice President of New
Haven Road, Yale Grad and
City Clerk Here

New Haven, Oct. 1O-William E. Bar
New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad Co., died, last night, at Pine
hurst, N. c. He had been in poor
health for some years following a
stroke of apoplexy. Word came to
members of the family here, today.
The body will be brought to New Ha-
ven for burial.
Mr.. Barnett was 6s years of age.
He was graduated from Yale in 1864
and from the Albany Law School two
years later. He moved to Bridge
port and served as city clerk for a
year. He was then taken by PreSf-
dent Bishop, of the New Haven road
as his private secretary. Next Mr..
Barnett executive secretary of
the company and its offices were in the
Grand Central Station in New York.
1887 when the offices were moved
here. Mr.. Barnett then became at
torney for the road and still later
under President John M. Hall he
became president in charge of
the department of law and real es-
tate.
About 10 years ago, i'll health caus-
ed Mr.. Barnett's retirement. He had
spent much time in Pinehurst, in re-
cent years and only a week ago went
there for his winters stay. It is
thought the journey overtaxed his
strength.
His widow, two sons and two daugh-
tiers survive. One son is an attor-
ney for the railroad company and
the other, Paul, is city editor of the
New Haven Register.
