This union was blessed with the birth of the following sons and daughters: Claude, Eddie, Lewellyn, Cornelius, Haynie, Mary, Jennie, and Mrs. Wesley Irby of Blackstone. Eugene Barnes, an adopted son, was to her as though he were her own.
She is survived by all of the above named children, and also by two brothers, Henry Hite, of Kenbridge, and Kenneth Hite, of Raleigh, N C and by the following sisters, Mrs William Irby, of Blackstone, Mrs. Sallie H McDaneil, of Danville and Mrs Solon Orgain, of Kenbridge, and also by seventeen grandchildren.
Her furneral services were conducted at her home by her pastor, Rev J E White, assisted by Rev S G Harwood and Dr B M Beckham, on Sunday afternoon, November 7th, and interment was in the cemetery at Kenbridge.
The active pallbearers were Edwin McDaniel, Haskins Hite, George Barnes, Edgar Barnes, Robert Irby, Herbert Hardy, W T Barnes and Wallace Marshall.
The honorary pallbearers were Albert Humphries, R E Blackwell, Tom Wilkerson, J H Featherstone, A S Bridgforth, Ben Copley, Peter Stokes, Victor Epes, Harvey Crowder, James Harris, W S Irby, W H Pritchett, Paul Love, Dr Freeman, Dick Webb, S H Duke, Edwin Neblett, Lewis Walker, Joe Hardy, Joel Blanch, Nee Hardy, Richmond, Bowen, Ross Harris, Percy Bailey, Robert Showalter, Chappell Hawthorne, Marshall Stokes, Mac Smith, E S Roby, E G Stokes, T F Crittenden, Henry Hawthorne, Pryor Jones, D Y Paschall, Paul Jansch, Edward Saunders, R L Hite, Tom Hawthorne, Edward Neal, Rupert Conyers, Herbert Hite, J T Waddill, John Barnes, Hugh Barnes, R W Coon, L Ingram, E J Tindoll.
Mrs. Barnes early in life united with the Medthodist Church, of which she was a faithful and consistent member to the day of her death. Her home was always positively Christian, and she taught her children to fear and honor God. They rise up to call her blessed, and cherish sweet and precious memories of her beautiful character. For some time before her death she was an invalid, but bore her sufferings with Christian fortitude and cheerful submission to the dispensation of divine providence which she never questioned. The world is better because she lived in it, and her presence and influence for good will be greatly missed, but our loss is her eternal gain.

One of the best things about Salem and Providence joining with Antioch was the many nice people that came and certainly one of the nicest is Mrs. Lillian Barnes. All of the members who quilt have been so glad to have Mrs. Barnes come. She never says an unkind word about anyone and is a good example for all of us."
