Robert Earl Barnett - 1913-1997 Irene Elizabeth Jamison - 1917-2002
After returning to their childhood community
They were married December 15, 1946
Sadly they lost their only child at birth
and welcomed their home
to many nieces and nephews over the years.
I was blessed to be their niece.
They were married 50 years the year before
Uncle Bob passed away.
Aunt Irene was a quiet spoken woman.
Since I lived next door, our lives were pretty much an open book.
Yet I now wish that I had talked to her about the time she was in the military and her experiences in those years.
