It reads:
He was born on August 25, 1876 in Sparta, White, Tennessee to Franklin P. Barnett and Emily Catherine Randolph.
He married Ida Jane Vaughn before 1917. Together they had five children. Ben Vaughn Barnett on January 30, 1917; Floyd (Bela) Barnett on February 22, 1919; Emily Catherine Barnett on June 16, 1921; Donald Paul Barnett on June 13, 1923; and Ruth Jean Barnett on April 14, 1926.
They raised their children on a hard rock gold mine in the Rand mining district. After the mine closed they moved to Bakersfield where Floyd opened a real estate business, raised fruit and greyhounds. They were so poor that when the depression hit, they didn't even notice a difference.
He passed away on December 3, 1962 in San Bernardino, San Bernardino County, California and was buried in Bakersfield, Kern County, California at the age of 86.
