Nothing from my pen could add anyhing to her many excellent qualities of head and heat, for that in her death earth has lost a christian and heaven has gained a saint there can be no doubt. Mr. Lincoln said to Carpenter, the artist , “paint me just as I am” I am sure if the deceased had her wishes been consulted would have asked nothing more. In early life she professed faith in Christ and became a member of Beaver Dam Baptist Church, where she lived a consisent member until her death. On December 7, 1865 she was married to L. L. TAYLOR, now deceased, to this woman four children were born; Annie M, Ulysus (now deceased) Clydius W. and Mary J. survive her. She lived to see her children grown and settled confortably in life and her work seemed to have been done. It was the good fortune of this writer to find a home in her family at tht age when boys are so easily led astray. Orphaned in infancy we never had the advantages of counsel and advice from father and mother. So essential to the development of christian character and in ths home and this good woman we found both, if we have accomplished anything for good in this life it has been in a long measure due to encouragement and kindness received at the hands of this good woman. Surely this scripture is fulfilled in her, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, yea from henceforth, for they rest from their labors and their works do follow them. Doubly blessed are all children who have such a mother. What more culd be said of her, She was a Christian woman. A FRIEND. ....................

This was perhaps twenty-five years before the Revolution and the American branch of the Barnett family multiplied rapidly. In 1780, three of them left Virginia and came to Kentucky, One Alexander, the great-grandfather of the present generation of Barnett’s settled at HARTFORD, which town was named for him, being called Barnett’s station in the early years of it’s existance.

Daughter born to DR. J. H. MAXWELL on the 10th ..................... ELISHA MILTON MILES was born in what is now known as the Frank Mitchell farm,m near Fordsville, Ky. December 11th, 1839, and was the eldest son of JOHN S. and AMANDA MILES , formerly of Shelby Co. Ky. I have not been able to learn anything in regard to the early history of John Miles except that he came to Ohio Co. from Shleby Co. and it was in the latter county that he married Miss Ford. The exact date that he came to Ohio County is unknown, but it is supposed to be in the year 1834. He was for many years a member of old Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church, and for some years he was moderator of that church. He died October 21, 1883 and his wife died some years before. Elisha Miles lived on a farm near Fordsville with his father till the year 1857, when he went to Cloverport, Ky., to learn the trade of a tailor with William Witt, who was married to a sister of Elisha’s mother. Young Miles remained with his uncle till the year 1860, when the troubled forbodence of the Civil War so paralyed all business pursults that he returned to the farm near Fordsville, where he remained till October 15, 1861, when he enlisted in Co. K, 17th Kentucky Volunteer Infantry, and after a service of 39 months he was honorabley discharged a private of Co. B. of the 17th, Ky oat Louisville, Ky. January 23, 1865, by reason of expiration of term of service. During the Georgia Campaign in the battles near Cassville, Ga. May 19/22 , 1864 he received a gun-shot wound in the left hand, which made a cripple of him for life and on his return from the army, as this wound deprived him feom working at his trade, he engaged in agricultural pursults on his father’s farm. April 8, 1869 he married MISS JOSEPHINE E. SMITH, daughter of the late HENRY SMITH, a prominent early settler of the Fordsville area. Mrs. Miles is a twin sisterr of N. B. SMITH now (May 1904) living near Fordsville he was named in honor of NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, the great Republican Emperor of France, and his twin sister after the Empress Josephine, first wife of Napoleon. In December, 1882, a Grand Army Post was recruited at Fordsville and when it was duly mustered, January 6, 1883, Elisha M. Miles was one of its charter memberrs and during his long membership in the order he was in good standing and served much of that time as an officeer of the post, or a committeeman on some business pertaining to the Grand Army. Comrade Miles died of consumption on the 17th of March 1898, after a lingering illness of many months. His funeral sermon was preached by Rev. B. T. Jenkins, a Sergeant of the 17th. Ky. , and former pastor of the Baptist Church at Fordsville, where brother Miles and many of his relativess were members for years. He was buried by his Grand Army comrades with his deceased relatives in the JOSIAH HAYNES graveyard on his farm, and with UNITED STATES GOVERMENT furnished a military headstone to mark his grave. Comrade Miles is survived by his wife and six children, 3 sons and 3 daughters. 2 sons and 2 dauthers are also grown and married. April 13, 1904 his youngest son is 12 years old and his youngest daughter is 8 years old. ................... ******** ******** JUNE 24 1904 FRIDAY ...................
