Chester Eugene "Bobo" Barnett (October 23, 1903 – February 18, 1985) was a clown whose career lasted from the late 1920s to the early 1970s.
Longing to leave his small town, Barnett joined the circus and worked as a caretaker for the elephants.
He would often run around his house with a paper bag on his head with two holes cut out for eyes, calling himself "Bobo", which also happened to be the name of a community near Tenaha.
[3] On the Cole Bros. show he met and eventually married his third wife, Dorothy Sporney (known as Dottie Pressley at the time).
When Dolly married Art Lind, Chester and Dorothy both lost their performing partners.
