Mrs. Barnhart was a son of the late Rev. David Barnhart, Bendersville. He was born at Shady Grove and lived there for a number of years but has lived in and about Waynesboro for the last 15 years.
He was a coremaker by trade and worked at that occupation for some time. Several years ago he was engaged in the grocery business at the corner of Ridge avenue and Second street. Afterward he was tenant on the Misses Brown farm north of town, for almost two years but had sale last spring and moved into town. He worked in the Geiser shops until about three weeks ago when he went to the Landis tool works. He only worked there about two weeks until he was taken ill Saturday night April 14.
Mr. Barnhart was a consistent member of the United Brethren church. He was also a member of Franklin ruling No 117 Fraternal Mystic Circle and Waynesboro council No 760 _____*.
Mr. Barnhart's death has caused much sorrow among the many who knew him and his family. He was an energetic young man and one of upright moral character. He was devoted to his family and an useful member of his church and community. During his tenancy of the Brown farm he met with heavy losses by reason of the loss of much of his live stock and the sympathy of all who knew of his misfortune was then extended him. Several years ago his father died in Adams county of smallpox and the quarantine which was established against the aged gentleman and his daughters is remembered by readers of this paper.
Mr. Barnhart is survived by his widow, Mrs. Myrtle Barnhart, and two children Robert and Helen, three brothers Rev Vernie Barnhart, Connellsville; Clarence, this place, and Rev Howard, near Los Angeles, Cal, also by four sisters, Mrs. Robert Gordon, Fannettsburg, Mrs. Adam Baker and Miss Lelia, Fairview avenue, Waynesboro, and Mrs. Wilson Blocher, Bendersville.
