SOURCE: The Southern Patriot (Greenville Newspaper) DATE: Thursday, December 4, 1851
At his residencce, in the upper part of this District, on the 1st instant, Mr. Randal Barnet.
The deceased was born in Spartanburg District, but for the last 23 years had been a resident of this district. At the time of his decease he was in the 66th year of his age. Few men have labored under greater disadvantages, though more afliction, or in any way have been surrounded by an equal number of difficulties. At a very early age, he lost the entire use of one of his arms, yet, by his untiring industry, he was enabled to raise up, and comfortably support 13 children, mostly daughters, all of whom are now living. His children, grandchildren and great grandchildren number 87. He has been, for the last 31 years, a devoted and pious member of the Baptist Church, honoring his profession by a Godly walk and a pious conversation. He was afflicted for the last two years and a half with that most fatal malady, the consumption, and for twelve months prior to his death, was unable to speak above a whisper. He bore his afflictions with extraordinary fortitude and christian resignation. He has left an aged widow, a numerous progeny, and a large circle of acquaintances to mourn his exit.
Lo, the prisoner is released Lightened of his fleshly load, Where the weary are at rest, He is gathered unto God. Lo ! the pain of life is past All his warfare now is o'er, Death and Hell behind are cast, Grief and suffering are no more. _________________________________ Father of (in addition to those below that are linked):
