Joseph C. Barnes Aug.
12, 1913 - Apr. 1, 2003
While in Belton High School, he lettered in football, baseball,
basketball, and track. At Southwestern University in Georgetown, Tx, he was
a 4-year letterman in football and was selected as all-conference halfback
and honorable mention for Little All-American. Joe played semi-pro baseball
for Rosenberg Gulf Oil baseball team, but turned down an offer to play in
the big leagues.
During his college days he met, and later married, Lilla Bessonette,
who survives him, along with their daughters Bettie Liebzeit and her husband
Jim, and Joelle Barnes and her husband Alan Foley, and the love of his life,
granddaughter Amanda Bird and her husband Richard. He also leaves his other
3 kids - Brownie, Buffie and the Girl - the cats, and a host of nieces and
nephews. He had a passion for golf, fishing, hunting, and dominoes. He shot
his age on the golf course more than once, outwalked the pheasant hunters
annually and shelled nearly as many pecans as Tom Lovelace could collect.
Joe received his undergraduate degree from Southwestern in 1936 and
his masters in 1940 from The University of Texas at Austin. He first job
after graduation was as principal and coach at Academy (Little River). He
was also in the school business in Hearne, San Augustine, Georgetown,
Aransas Pass, Lockhart, and Belton, serving variously as superintendent,
principal, teacher and coach. He was inducted into both the Southwestern
University Athletic Hall of Fame and the Belton High School Hall of Fame.
Joe’s fondest memories were of his career in San Augustine. He was
hired to revive the football program in the high school. During the first
season, the team didn’t win a game or score a point, but by the last
season they tied for the district championship. When they laid out the
football field, they only had room for 90 yards, so it was decided the teams
would play the 50 yards from the goal to the center of the field, then once
they crossed mid-field, they would move back 10 yards in order to have
another 50 yards to go.
During WWII, Joe served in the U.S. Navy as chief petty officer and
was discharged in 1945 as a Lt. JG, after serving in the Naval Armed Guard
on the SS Mission Buenaventura and the SS Sandy Lake.
Active throughout his life in the community in one way or another,
Joe served as president of the University Interscholastic League Legislative
Council, the District 10 Texas State Teachers Association, and was an active
member of the United Methodist Church.
Joe and Lilla continued to attend homecoming reunions at the schools
where they worked, but made annual appearances in San Augustine without
fail. Their “kids” in the classes of ‘41 and ‘42 claim that
everything good that happened in the next 50 years was due to the Barneses.
Memorial services will be held Friday at 4:00 PM at First United
Methodist Church in Belton with Rev. Bobby Baggett officiating.
A military burial will take place Friday at 9:15 AM at Ft. Sam
Houston in San Antonio, Texas.
Joe Barnes touched the lives of many young people throughout Texas.
In his philosophy of education, he stated that “every child must have an
even break and to try to make each pupil feel that he belongs to our
family”. As the superintendent of schools prior to integration, he threw
out the hand-me-down textbooks in the Carver school and bought new ones, put
heaters in the gym and made sure the school paid the hospital bill of a
black athlete who was injured. In lieu of flowers, please consider a memorial to Southwestern University, 1011 E. University, Georgetown, TX 78626, or theBelton Enrichment Foundation, PO Box 269, Belton, Texas 76513.
