Son R. Lee sons, burial unknown
Obit-Gonzales Inquirer April.3, 1920
Pioneer Resident of County Call d to Final Reward
Passing out just at the advent of the Eastertide to enter that fuller, richer life on the other side, the gentle spirit of Mrs. W. L. Barnett, a venerable resident of Gonzales county, slipped across the borderland at twilight Friday evening, April 2nd, at the family home at Wrightsboro.
Mrs. Barnett is survived by three sons, John, George, and Lee Barnett, one daughter, Miss Ella Barnett, who arrived this morning from San Antonio, and one sister, Miss a Hannah Walker, of Memphis, Tenn., besides other relatives.
She had reached the ripe age of 93 years, an age that few are privileged to attain. The many years given her were not wasted, as the hosts of friends and benefactors who have known and loved her almost a lifetime can abundantly testify. Her life was one of activity for many years, during which she was a devoted wife and mother, a consecrated Christian, wielding wide influence for good in the community in which she passed the greater part of her life and where she was revered and loved for her many noble traits. A devoted member of the Presbyterian church for years, she was among the pioneer members of the church at Wrightsboro, a leader in every work of the church, laboring for its up building and seeking to spread its influence for good in the community.
Ever hospitable, the doors of her home always stood open, and it was famed as a social center all over that region, radiating true Southern Hospitality and many have been the guest entertained beneath her roof who rise to call her blessed.
The funeral services were set for Sunday afternoon att 2:30 o'clock at Wrightsboro, when many will be old friends of the family which has been so prominent in this section for years who will gather on this Easter day in her honor.
Old friends in this city and from over the county will join the Inquirer in offering sympathy to the loved ones in their loss.

Final Tribute of Respect Paid Mrs. W. L. Barnett
It was a large and representative gathering of citizens of both town and county that gathered at the Barnett home at Wrightsboro Sunday afternoon to pay a final tribute to the memory of the late Mrs. W. L. Barnett, pioneer resident of the county, who passed away at her home there Friday evening.
In order that all might hear the services the remains were escorted to the church at the appointed hour and here impressive funeral services were conducted by Dr. J. E. James, pastor of the Presbyterian church, of Gonzales, who paid high tribute to her long and useful life in a brief sketch. The old hymns loved by the decedent were rendered by the choir and a solo appropriate to the hour was sung by Rev. Mr. Garuner, pastor of the Baptist church at Wrightsboro, who assisted in the services. The church was crowed with friends of the family, many of them of belong standing.
A brief service was held at the cemetery as the last offices for the dead were performed. Thus all that was mortal of Mrs. Barnett now sleeps amid the scenes where the greater part of her life was passed, a wealth of beautiful floral offerings fashioned of Springtime's loveliest blossoms mantling her last resting place, tributes from hosts of friends residing far and near.
The acting pall bearers included J.B. Dawe, J. Bradley and Jim Hinton.
As a charter member of the Wrightsboro Presbyterian church, active in the church and social life of the community in which she spent so many useful years until extreme old age precluded these activities, the record of Mrs. Barnet's life is closely interwoven with the history of that section, but her friendships were not confined to that locality, since she had numerous friends among the old families all over the county, most of whom have crossed over the river before her. Her husband died some twenty-odd years ago.
May we not feel this old pioneer resident, upon entering the presence of the Lord and Master in whom she professed faith so many years ago, was greeted with the words, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant; enter into the joys of thy Lord."
