Mrs. Barnett, right, peers into the opened casket of her late husband Jackson Barnett, held up by an unidentified man. Two other men are seen in the background. This photograph is likely related to the article, “Jackson Barnett Buried,” Los Angeles Times, 8 Jun 1934: A1. The death of Jackson Barnett, a wealthy Native American man, in 1934 stirred controversy when a woman whose marriage to him had been voided claimed to be a custodian of his body. After much dispute with different Native American agencies and some delay, Barnett was buried at Hollywood Cemetery with a Christian funeral service.
