The year 1885 marked the beginning of business in Batesville by Barnett Brothers, a firm which is in business in 1976. Ira N. Barnett II, born in Sharp County in 1866, came to Batesville in 1885 to work in the store of Hinkle Brothers at Main and Third Streets. In 1887 his uncle, R. D. Williams, who was in business in Evening Shade sold out there and established a store also at Third and Main opposite Hinkle Brothers. The same year James F. Barnett and CharlesA. Barnett, brothers of Ira N., who had been teaching school in Sharp County, joined him and the three men began work for their uncle. The brothers purchased an interest in the Williams store about 1890 and in 1901 acquired full ownership. They incorporated as Barnett Brothers in 1903.
Under the original three brothers and the two sons and daughter of Ira N. Barnett - Ira N. Barnett III, Charles W. Barnett, and Mary Louise Hathcock - the business flourished and was extended into farming, timber lands, banking, wholesale, and other enterprises.
Barnett Brothers store in Batesville in 1976 is continued by Ira N. Barnett IV, Charles R. Barnett, and James F. Barnett, sons of Ira N. Barnett III. Three corners of Third and Main Streets in Batesville have been sites of businesses employing or owned by Barnetts since 1885. Their business lasted until January 1988.
