I, LULA BARNES CLARK, do solemnly swear that I am the mother of HOMER BARNES and
have the custody of Homer Barnes and the said Homer Barnes is only seventeen
years of age and has no means of support and he is dependent on me and there is
a certain sum of money in the hands of the Judge of Probate of Covington County,
Ala., belonging to the said Homer Barnes, said amount having been paid into the
Probate Court by the Circuit Clerk of Covington County, Alabama, and the said
Homer Barnes is now in destitute and necessitous circumstances and is in need of
his money for his support, maintenance and education, and said amount paid into
the Probate Court on the 4th day of February, 1929, by the Circuit Clerk was
$54.17 and on March the 27th, 1929, I requested the Probate Judge to pay to
Homer Barnes $5.00 of the above amount in order for Homer to buy for himself one
pair of shoes and said amount having been on savings account, there has
accumulated a few cents interest and after deducting the Five dollars paid to
Homer Barnes and eighty two cents paid to the Probate Court, as his commission
for handling this matter, there remains to the credit of Homer Barnes $48.63,
which amount is in the hands of the Probate Judge of Covington County, Ala. and
I, as the MOTHER and custodian of HOMER BARNES do hereby request H. J. Brogden,
Judge of Probate, to pay to me the said $48.63 as the mother of said Homer
Barnes, for the support and education of the said Homer Barnes.
