Arizona Republican-Mar 28, 1904
MRS. WARREN BARNETT
Arizona Republican Newspaper
March 28, 1904

Mrs. Warren Barnett of Mesa, died yesterday of pneumonia, 
after a brief illness.  She did not seem to be in danger at 
any time and yesterday morning her condition was better than 
it had been at any time since her illness.  Her husband is 
employed at the Tonto Basin dam site.  It was though that he 
might have started home.  An effort was made to reach him 
first by way of Globe but the telegraph office at that point 
was closed before the message was sent.  Then communication 
was attempted by the telephone line of the Arizona Water 
Company which has an irregular connection with the Thorpe 
line.  At a late hour the connection had not been made.

March 30, 1904
Mrs. W.L. Barnett whose death was announced in these columns 
yesterday, died very suddenly and the community is horror 
stricken at the heavy hand of death that has fallen without 
warning.  Mrs. Barnett was ill only from 9 o'clock Sunday 
morning until the hour of her death, only about four hours 
later.  While she has not been in the best of health for 
some time, having but recently recovered from a attack of 
la grippe, she has been able to attend to her household 
duties and seemed to have almost entirely recovered.  
Sunday morning as usual she cooked breakfast and attended 
to some chores.  About 9 o'clock she took a spell of 
coughing after which she grew terribly sick and although 
everything possible was done for her relief she passed 
away at 2 p.m.

At the time of her death, her husband was away from home, 
having gone up to the Tonto dam site to establish a drug 
store.  Will Bowen was dispatched on horseback for the 
site to notify Mr. Barnett.  A telephone message from 
there states that Mr. Barnett will reach Mesa tonight.  
Mrs. Barnett was the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. M.M. 
Gilbert and was forty two years of age.  She leaves a 
husband and two sons, a sister, Mrs. J.H. Barnett and 
two brothers, W.M. Gilbert and J.L. Gilbert and a father 
Dr. M.M. Gilbert.  Mrs. Barnett was an ideal woman, a 
loving mother and wife, esteemed by all who knew her.  
The funeral will be held sometime today at the Methodist 
Church.  The hour will be decided upon when her husband 
arrives.

Funeral, April 2, 1904
The funeral services  of Mrs. Annie Barnett were held at 
the family residence on Tuesday at 10 a.m.  There was a 
large attendance and evidence was not lacking to show the 
very deep sympathy of the people to the remaining family 
in their terrible sorrow.  Rev. Blair of the M.E. Church 
presided at the services.  The pall bearers were Daniel 
Hibbert, J.S. Peterson, Van Wright, Ben Radel, Ed Clark 
and C.S. Hoover.  Her husband W.L. Barnett arrived home 
Tuesday night, having made the distance from the Tonto 
dam in less than one day.  He is heartbroken.
