On the record
Barnett, son of the Rev. William C. Barnett, took a B.S. at Edgewood College, Tennessee, in 1888 and his medical degree at the Fort Wayne College of Medicine in 1890, with postgraduate work at the Chicago Polyclinic in 1893. After a first practice at Archer, Nebraska, he settled in Fort Wayne in 1896 and confined himself to surgery. He held the chair of surgical anatomy and genito-urinary surgery at his alma mater until the state's medical colleges merged into Indiana University's medical department, then served as adjunct professor of genito-urinary surgery there. He was president of the Allen County Medical Society in 1910–11, vice-president of the Mississippi Valley Medical Association in 1911, and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. In the Spanish-American War he served as assistant surgeon, with the rank of captain, in the 157th Indiana Volunteer Infantry. His published papers include "The Visiculae Seminales" (1910) and "Polycystic Kidney" (1913), and he edited abstracts in genito-urinary surgery.
