John L. Barnett

     John Langdon Barnett was born 8 Jul 1850 in Ohio County, the son of David L. & Sallie A. (Baird) Barnett.  John married Pauline Barnett 12 Nov 1874 and they had six children: Luther Cotrell, Zana Alexandra, Somers Edward, Mary Jane, Junius Lowery, and David Emmet.  Pauline died 28 Jun 1907, a few years after her youngest child, David, died in 1904.

    Apparently John L. remarried to a Mrs. Brown, from Arkansas, a short time before he died.

    John L. died 17 Sep 1913 in Arden, Arkansas and is (apparently) buried in Marvin Cemetery, which is located near his home in Little River County, Arkansas.  His son, David, is also buried in Marvin Cemetery.

    There are monuments for Pauline and for John L. located in Hartford but John L.'s says he is buried near Foreman, Arkansas.  The following is from the Hartford Republican 19 Sep 1913.

The following is from a newspaper in Arkansas, the Foreman Sun:

J. L. Barnett

Foreman Sun 

Wednesday, September 24, 1913 

J. L. Barnett died at his home at Arden Wednesday morning at the age of 63 years, after an illness of several days duration. 

Mr. Barnett formally resided in Foreman and has many friends here who will regret to learn of his death.  He was born in Hartford, Kentucky, but moved to Foreman about nine years ago which place he made his home until a short time ago, moving to Arden after being married to Mrs. Brown of that place. 

He leaves five children to mourn his death, two of whom were at his bedside when death came, S. E. Barnett, of Idabel Oklahoma, and Mrs. R. M. Thornberry, of Owensboro, Kentucky, a daughter.  Three children who reside at Louisville, Kentucky, did not arrive. 

The remains were interred at Marvin cemetery Wednesday afternoon, but will be taken up after and removed to the family burial ground in Kentucky. 

The Sun extends sympathy to the bereaved. 

Check the bottom words, "Buried near Foreman, Ark."

Note that in the article from the Foreman Sun it mentions that John L. married a Mrs. Brown from Arden, Arkansas.  I found that Sallie E. (Hanson) Brown from Arden became a widow in 1911 (her husband had been C. C. Brown); and I found the marriage info for John L. and Sallie:
