He is also survivied by 20 grandchildren; 21 great-grandchildren; a brother, C. A. Barnhart, Clinton, and a sister, Mrs. Alice Ricker, of Meta, Mo.
Mr. Barnhart settled in Maries County, Missouri and established a home for his family, following the vocation of farming throughout his life. He moved to Oklahoma in 1909, where he spent seven years, later moving to Colorado for three years. He then returned to his native state and remained active in his chosen work until about ten years ago when he retired and spent the rest of his life with his children.
This pioneer leaves a rich legacy, good name, much to be coveted, also a life well spent in the service of his God, his country and his fellowmen. He was an ardent and persistent believer in the Creator and lived his life accordingly. His was a life of honesty, integrity and industry, which leaves a pressing responsibility upon his descendants to carry on. He loved children and nothing gave him more satisfaction than to do some kindly act for a friend.
Funeral services were held Friday afternoon at two o'clock at the White Oak Church by the pastor, Rev. Wilson Branstetter. Burial in the cemetery nearby. Mrs. Emmett Long, Mr. and Mrs. O. A. Clary and Rolla Williams, with Mrs. Charles Long at the piano, sang "Will the Circle Be Unbroken," "Where the Gates Swing Outward Never," and "Going Down the Valley." Pallbearers were: Ray Orr, Homer and Elzia [sic] Woody, Merle and James Barnhart and Mr, Golden.
