I am not searching for any Barnetts in my own line, but am hoping there might be a descendant of a Lieut. Leland Barnett that is on this list. In clearing out some old boxes from my mother-in-law's home, I have found an old book, actually just the front cover and front page, with a newspaper article and an obituary pasted to them, concerning the death of Lieut. Leland Barnett, and I am hoping someone on this list might know about him or his family, or be connected to him that would appreciate receiving this piece of family history. The article is titled "How Lieut. Leland Barnett Died" dated 12/24/1916 from Le Mans France. The obituary (of a sort) lists the Lieut's name, his wife, Sara Mildred Evans, and a brother of the Lieut., a Sergeant Lowell Barnett. Included on the page with the obit are pictures of the Lieut. and his wife. The article gives the accounting of the actions in Le Mans that led to the death of Lieut. Barnett, where he was buried, and is a treasure I am hoping I can place in the hands of a descendant or family member. From the article, he was formerly of the Old First Regiment of Cincinnati, and that he was from Norwood. Don't know if this is in Ohio, but would believe that it probably is. If anyone on this list is connected with this family, or knows someone that is connected to him I would love to hear back... Finding something like this would be a treasure to me and I certainly would love to pass it on to someone in memory of of the sacrifice given by this gentleman. Since I am not a Barnett descendant in any way, I subscribed to this list just to try to find someone who is connected to this family. If anyone knows anything about him and descendants please post to me privately, as I will be unsubscribing from this list after a short period of time. Hoping to hear from someone soon, Holly Snead [email protected]
