The Georgia Enterprise, February 6, 1890
HON. N. C. BARNETT IS DEAD
     Sunday afternoon last, in the city of Atlanta, the spirit of Hon. Nathan 
Crawford Barnett winged its flight from earth to that better land beyond the 
stars. Aged  88 years. Col. Barnett was first elected Secretary of State in 
1843, and, with the exception of two terms, held the position until the 
reconstruction period of ‘69. In 1873 he was again chosen Secretary of State 
and held the office to the day of his death. He was honest and upright, being 
true to every trust. “He was the very soul of honor and every inch a man.” 
Georgia mourns the loss of her faithful son. His remains were buried at 
Milledgeville by his request the day before he died. Hon. Philip Cook, of 
Americus, has been appointed to fill the vacancy until the election in October.
