CLARENCE L. BARNETT— A native of Ken-

tucky and later a resident of Texas, the late Clarence L. Barnett came to Oklahoma in 1891, and, settling in Greer County, successfully engaged there in farm- ing and stock raising on a large scale. After his retirement from active work he resided until his death in Mangum, the county seat of Greer County, of which town he was a prominent and highly respected citizen. At all times eager and ready to support any movement tending to advance the welfare of the community, he is today represented by a large family of ten children, all of whom, after having received a most careful education, now hold responsible posi- tions and carry on the work started so well by their father.

Clarence L. Barnett was born in Louisville, Ken-

tucky, April 28, 1866, a son of the late Dr. John J. and Mary Barnett. His father, who was a physician and at various times held many public offices of im- portance, served during the Civil War with the Con- federate Army, holding the rank of captain in the Medical Corps. Mr. Barnett received his education in the public grammar and high schools of Louisville. At an early age he came with his parents to De- catur, Wise County, Texas, where he engaged suc- cessfully in farming and stock raising. In 1891 he removed to Oklahoma and there acquired a home- stead farm of one hundred and sixty acres, about fourteen miles southwest of Mangum, Greer County. On it, to which he later added another one hundred and sixty acres, he engaged in general farming, as well as in the buying and selling of stock. In his early enterprises he met with much success, partly as the result of his untiring energy and partly because he was widely known for his unfailing fairness and honesty. He continued to be active until 1901, when he retired and made his home in Mangum. There he served on the School Board, his political affiliations being with the Democratic party. He was a member of the Woodmen of the World. In religion he be- longed to the Baptist church.

Mr. Barnett married, in Texas, December 19, 1889,

Katherine E. Woods, a daughter of the late William C. and Mary E. Woods. Mrs. Barnett's father died in 1876, her mother in 1878. Mr. and Mrs. Barnett were the parents of ten children: Otis L., Frank J., Benjamin B., Nellie E., Lillie V., James A., William R. ( Clarence L., Herbert L., and Coleman. They all attended the public schools and later received a college education, thus preparing themselves most effectively for the different important positions, which they now occupy in the several communities in which they make their homes.

Mr. Barnett died at his home in Mangum, March

13, 1913. Since his death his widow has continued to make her home in Mangum, surrounded by her children and her six grandchildren. Most of Mr. Bar- nett's farm lands are now leased for the production of oil and gas, thus contributing, even after his death, to the development and prosperity of the State of Oklahoma.
