== Biography ==
Chester Eugene Barnett was born October 23, 1903 in Tenaha, Texas. His parents were John and Minnie Barnett. He had four siblings, Herman, William, Hazel and John Winifred. Longing to leave his small town, Chester joined the circus and worked as a caretaker for the elephants. During this time he developed his clowning techniques, eventually joining clown alley as a white faced clown. He also began a performing partnership with fellow clown, Art Lind. The name "Bobo" came from his days as a precocious child. 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 town next to Tenaha.
On the Cole Bros. show he met and eventually married his third wife, Dorothy Sporney (known as Dottie Pressley at the time). Dorothy was a dancer on the show, performing with her sister Angeline (Dolly). When Dolly married Art Lind, Chester and Dorothy were both out of performing partners. At the wedding, they struck a deal to perform together - which eventually turned into their marriage. 〔
