W. Gordon Barnes Buried Monday At Jackson Rites
Funeral services for Mr. William Gordon Barnes, 73, one of Jackson's most widely known businessmen who died at Griffin Spalding County Hospital Saturday night following a brief illness, were held Monday afternoon at three o'clock at the graveside in Jackson City Cemetery. Rev. Sidney L. Waterhouse, pastor of the First Baptist Church, and Rev. Wade H. Bell, former pastor of the Jackson Presbyterian Church, officiated. Burial was in the Jackson City Cemetery with Haisten Funeral Home in charge of arrangements.
Mr. Barnes was rushed to Griffin-Spalding County Hospital on Friday suffering from a respiratory ailment. Saturday morning he appeared improved but complications arose early Saturday evening from which he did not rally.
A lifelong resident of Butts County, Mr. Barnes was the son of Homer Barnes and Mrs. Laura Saunders Barnes. For many years Mr. Barnes was a well known merchant in Jackson, but more recently was associated with his son, Wayne Barnes, in the operation of Barnes Lumber Company in Jackson. His wife, Mrs. Nina Garr Barnes, preceded him in death several years ago.
He is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Elise Sudderth, of Atlanta; one son, Wayne Barnes, Jackson; five sisters, Mrs. Joe Maddox of Luella; Miss Frances Barnes of Atlanta; Mrs. Helen Quick, Atlanta; Mrs. LaRue Barnes, Atlanta; Mrs. Bess Dunnegan, Decatur; two brothers, H. C. Barnes, Terrell, Texas; S. Barnes, Texas City, Texas; six grandchildren.
