This is a brief account of Jim's life. More details may be found in the memories section under stories.

James Henry Barney was called Jim by family and friends. He was born January 7, 1883, in Annabella, Utah, to Royal Hyrum and Martha Sophia Jacobsen Barney. He attended school in Annabella through the eighth grade, then went to Snow Academy in Ephraim, Utah, where he played basketball, boxed, and wrestled. He graduated in 1905 at age 22. His mother died in October that year.

Jim helped his father and brothers on the farm as he grew up and also worked on roads in the area with his team of horses. He often had a leading part in plays. He became a school teacher and taught in Annabella for a year before his marriage.

Jim married Effie Malinda Nebeker Barney on September 12, 1906, in the Manti Temple. For a few years after his marriage, Jim went to summer school at the University of Utah and obtained a teaching certificate. Jim and Effie made their home in Annabella and he taught there for some years. They also lived in Burrville, Koosharem, and Sutherland, Utah, for the school term when he taught school in those towns. Eventually, Jim gave up teaching and turned to farming for a living, but he regretted it later. He thought teaching was the greatest work anyone could do.

Besides raising sugar beets and hay, Jim raised a large garden and had purebred Holstein milk cows. He worked at the sugar factory and at the beet dump in Central. He worked at Otter Creek Reservoir with his team of horses and helped build the road in Sevier Canyon with them. He hauled poles from the mountain for the telephone company and did other kinds of work. He was Annabella water master for several years and water master of the South Bend Extension canal. He did much of the work getting water to the Annabella cemetery. He served as a trustee on the Annabella Town Board, as clerk and treasurer of the board, and as Justice of the Peace.

Jim and Effie were active members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Jim was baptized a member on July 6,1892, at age 9. He was ordained an elder in November, 1905, and a seventy on October 15, 1907. He served on the South Sevier Stake Sunday School board, taught the Elders Quorum, and the adult Sunday School class for many years.

Jim and Effie were the parents of nine children: two boys, Von and Dewite, and seven girls, Lora, Elma, Hazel, Reva, Vivin, Edith, and Martha. Jim was a loving, but strict father. The children worked with him in the sugar beet fields, hauled hay, milked cows, and did other chores. In the evenings, they enjoyed singing together as a family. Jim had a good voice, played the harmonica, and taught some of his girls to play. He taught them to recite poetry and to run. He was a good wrestler and taught his boys to wrestle.

Jim was rarely sick, but on his 52nd birthday, he was sick with a headache. Within a few days, he was too sick to get out of bed. Three doctors saw him, but he only grew worse. A fourth doctor told Effie to get him to Salt Lake City to Dr. Reed Harrow, a renowned brain surgeon. Jim underwent surgery in Salt Lake City, but a brain tumor was so advanced, the doctors could not help him. During the surgery, the pain became so bad that Jim broke the straps and tried to climb off the operating table. It took four or five men to subdue him. After a few weeks, he was allowed to go home. Medicines did not help his pain, but Elders came to administer to him when needed. He inspired visitors with the things he told them. He wanted to get well and serve the Lord on a mission. Eventually, he lost his speech and became paralyzed on one side. He died at home on April 12, 1935, at age 52. Only one of his children, Lora, was married at that time, and his youngest child, Martha, was only ten years old. He was laid to rest in the Annabella cemetery.

Jim was an honest, devout man, a wonderful husband and father, and an excellent example for his numerous posterity.
