| Notes THE PARIS NEWS, Nov. 12, 2004: 'WACO, Lloyd Cherry Barnett, 88, passed away Nov. 10, 2004, in Humble. Graveside services are set for 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 13, at Waco Memorial Park in Waco, with the Rev. Bert Mercer of Brookview Church of Christ officiating. He was born on April 2, 1916, in Mount Pleasant, the son of John Hardy Barnett and Grace Rebecca Cherry Barnett. The family moved to Paris in 1916, when he was six months old. This was shortly after the great Paris fire, and his father worked as a painting contractor on the new courthouse, high school, and numerous other buildings rebuilt after the fire that destroyed significant portions of the city. He attended Paris schools and then worked for Spees Vinegar Company in Paris and Dallas. He married his first wife, the former Lucille Warren of Paris in 1936, at age 20. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy in 1943 and was assigned to the 85th Naval Construction Battalion, the 'Seabees.' In addition to job assignments in Virginia, Rhode Island, Mississippi, and California, he served in Dutch Harbor, Alaska, for 17 months and was at the island of Espirito Santo in the South Pacific when the war ended. After being discharged in 1945, he returned to Paris and worked with his father in the paint contracting business. In 1947, he married his second wife, the former Sarah Sue Pierson of Paris. The family moved to Waco in 1947 and he worked for a building contractor, Leslie Hughgator, doing new post-war construction in Waco. He worked in civil service positions for the U.S. Air Force beginning in 1950, at James Conley AFB in Waco. In 1965, he transferred to Perrin AFB in Sherman, and then to Columbus AFB in Columbus, MS, in 1971. He retired from civil service in 1976, and he and Sue returned to Waco where they were long-time members of the Crestview Church of Christ. He is preceded in death by three brothers, Harrell and Hoyt Barnett of Paris, and Shirley Barnett of Dallas; one sister, Christine Bartlett of Grapevine; one daughter, Janice Chesney Reed of Paris; and two grandsons, Douglas Reed of Broken Arrow, Okla., and Mike Chesney of Paris. He is survived by one sister, Lucy Glover of Paris; a son and daughter-in-law, Daniel and Delores Barnett of Kingwood; and four grandchildren, Timothy, Pamela and Katherine Barnett of Kingwood, and Tommy Mac Chesney of Tulsa, Okla.' |
