Mrs. Isalena Barney, wife of George Barney, 2740 Darien Street, Shreveport, Louisiana, was born July 22nd, 1871 near Burlington, Boone County (corrected from Harrison Co), Arkansas, and departed this life April the 10th, 1927, being 55 years, 8 months and 19 days old. At the age of four years her parents moved to Fort Scott, Kansas, and from there to Fairfield, Iowa, and later to Henry County, Iowa, where she was married to George Barney on March the 31st, 1889, and to this union was born eight children, five boys and three girls (one girl, Della, deceased). Through the lives and influence of her godly parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Hill of Jennings, Louisiana, she was led to Christ at an early age and sanctified at the age of eighteen. Her grandfather, Rev. T. M. Kirkpatrick, a pioneer holiness preacher of the M. E. Church in the state of Iowa made a valuable contribution to her early Christian life. Isalena Barney and her husband George were charter members of the Church of the Nazarene at Lake Charles, Louisiana.
Later they moved to Shreveport and placed their membership in the First Church of the Nazarene of this city, where she served God faithfully until she crossed the border line between two worlds.
This beautiful wife and Christian mother leaves behind her the following loved ones: George Barney, her husband, and seven children: Mrs. Florence McLain of Nashville, Tenn., Mrs. Emily Carr, Charley Barney, Elmer Barney. Lester Barney, Lawrence Barney of Shreveport, Louisiana and Delbert Barney of California. Also Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Hill of Jennings, La., one brother, Mr. T. J. Hill of Nome, Texas, Mrs. C. A. Wilkinson of Jennings, Louisiana, Mrs. Eddie Reynolds of Kinder, Louisiana. All the relatives mentioned above, except Delbert Barney of California, were present. She also, leaves many dear ones and friends, who will miss her earnest prayers, kind words, and godly influence.
The funeral services were conducted at the First Church of the Nazarene of Shreveport, Louisiana by the pastor, Rev. G. M. Akin, and Rev. M. B. Crawford of the Church of God. Sister Barney had been a devoted member of this Nazarene congregation for many years, and during the writer's four years acquaintance with her he never saw a more faithful wife, loving mother, and dependable servant of God than she was. Her body was laid away in Forest Park Cemetery to wait the resurrection of the righteous. We miss her presence and prayers so much, but, at the same time, we feel sure that our loss is heaven's gain. Brethren, please pray for her loved ones and friends in this hour of darkness and sorrow.
