I saw this posting on the Barnett List. I too am interested in finding out where the children went. My great-great-grandmother was Viola Barnett, b. 3-9-1872, who married Alva C. Hower. I have been unsuccessful finding out anything about her, other than she and Alva lived in the Decatur area according to the 1908 Adams Co. Directory.
