The Delta Herald And Times, Delta, Pennsylvania 7 April 1911 
OBITUARY
ENEAS F. BARNETT
Died at his home in Lower Chanceford township on Wednesday, March 29, 1911, 
aged 73 years, 10 months, 15 days. The funeral took place on Saturday, 
services and interment at Pine Grove Presbyterian church. Pallbearers were 
George Snodgrass, Veasey Colvin, S. Free Johnson, Thomas T. Snyder, John E. 
Witmer, James Kilgore; John L. Norris undertaker.
     Eneas Franklin Barnett was the eldest son of the late James and Elizabeth 
(Hess) Barnett, and was born in Lancaster county May 14, 1837. About 1838 his 
parents moved to York county having purchased the farm now owned by Mrs. Wm. 
J. Ritchie, near Peach Bottom; and about the year 1815 he removed with his 
parents to Lower Chanceford where he resided the remainder of his life. He 
followed the vocation of a farmer, but taught school a number of years after 
arriving at manhood. In 1876 he was elected an Elder in the Pine Grove 
Presbyterian church in which capacity he served most acceptably for 35 years. 
In 1905 he represented Westminster Presbytery in the General Assembly. Though 
quiet and reserved in his manner, he was an exemplary and influential member 
of the church, and the community in which he lived.
     He was unassuming, but a man in whom the people had the utmost confidence 
for fairness, honesty and square dealing; his word was his bond. The high 
esteem in which he was held was manifest by the large attendance at his 
funeral. The services were conducted by his pastor Rev. Thomas G Baxter, his 
text being, "Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him."  The 
choir sang two hymns, and a duet "In That City" was touchingly rendered by 
Mrs. Robert E. Neely and Mrs. R. Houston Boyd.
     He was married to Miss Jane Norris, who died about ten years ago. Six 
children survive - James E., Thomas N. and David H. Barnett, and Mrs. 
Margaret, wife of Jacob Colvin, Mrs. Elizabeth, wife of Calvin Kilgore all of 
Lower Chanceford, and Mrs. Rhoda, wife of William J. Myers, of Delta. 
     He was a member of a family of 11 children, six of whom survive - David 
John, Zenas Paine, Grier Thomas, Samuel Parke and Ambrose Hess Barnett and 
Mrs. Catharine, wife of John Keener.
