George Marcus Barrett

Former Owner of L. R News Dies at Hugo

Hugo- George Mark Barrett, a one time owner of the Little River News, died Friday at his home here following a week's illness with heart ailment. Funeral services were held Monday at the First Baptist Church, Hugo.

Judge Barrett is remembered by the long-time residents of Ashdown, as he studied law in the office of the late Judge Cowling, and was admitted to the bar in 1902. Judge Cowling's law office at that time was in the wooden building on the present site of the Dixie Theatre. While a practicing attorney here, Judge Barrett bought the Little River News, which he owned for a short time.

He moved to Idabel, Okla., where he was county attorney of McCurtain County.  He served as state and federal judge in Oklahoma and at the time of his death, he was city attorney at Hugo.


George Marcus Barrett (1874-1947) was my great grand uncle and was married to Della Herndon (1879-1966).  They are buried in  Mt Olivet Cemetery in Hugo, OK.
