Rev. Barney E. Antrobus, 83, widely known Baptist minister and evangelist, who had been conducting evangelistic services at the former Dobe Inn here for the past several months, died at 10 p.m. Wednesday at the home of a daughter, Mrs. Allison Yeager, in Arkadelphia, Ark. He left here last week to make his home with his daughter. Word of his death was received by Walter Sheets.

Born in Illinois where he spent his boyhood, Rev. Antrobus was pastor of the First Baptist Church in this city for more than 20 years. He had also served as pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church here.
