DAUGHTER FINDS FATHER DEAD
Helpless Mother Had Spent Day Without Fire
J. R. Barnett was found dead in his bed about five o'clock Tuesday evening, by his daughter, Mrs. John Hull. His wife, an invalid, was huddled in a corner of the room in her night clothes, suffering from cold, evidently having been without a fire in the house all day. Mr. Barnett appeared to have died peacefully in his sleep. At six o'clock Tuesday morning Mrs. LaCrone saw a light in the house. She had noticed the place was dark before retiring, indicating that Mr. Barnett had turned on the light during the night.
Mr. and Mrs. Barnett have been spending from Tuesday to Saturday of each week at the home of their daughter, Mrs. Victor Ashburn at Payette. They failed to arrive at her home Tuesday. She became alarmed and phoned to Mrs. John Hull, who discovered the tragic circumstances.
Mr. and Mrs. Burnett lived on a farm near Letha for a number of years. They have lived for several years in New Plymouth, however.
Mr. Barnett is survived by eight daughters and two sons; Mrs. John Hull and Mrs. Charlie Groves of New Plymouth; Mrs. Victor Ashburn of Payette; Mrs. Milo Groat and Mrs. Lewis Cooper of Emmett, Mrs. Frank DeFrance of Lakeside, Nebr.; Mrs. W. H. Seacrest, Gordon, Nebr.; Mrs. Geo. Applegate, Haysprings, Nebr.; Dwyer H. Barnett of Emmett and Meyers H. Barnett of Everett, Washington.
