"Emmons County History 1976"
John A Bartu 1870 to 1952 and Effie Heath Bartu 1894 to 1971
The father of our subject, John Sr., came to the county in 1885, homesteading on Section 08-132-76, the land on which Linton, east of Broadway, now lies.
The wife and five children, including John, followed the next spring. Mr. Bartu died in 1887 and was buried on the homestead. John Jr. later moved the bodies of his parents to the Beaver Valley Cemetery. After John Sr. passed away, it fell to the lot of the older sons to earn the living for mother and children. Young John was elected to the school board before the age of 21, supposedly because he was not opposed to holding dances in the school house. He was among the group that brought the county records to Linton in 1899 and was commissioned to return them.
John Jr. homesteaded in 1900 on Section-29-133-77 and later operated a livery stable in Linton. He married Effie Heath in 1909 and they had seven children: Emmons, Clarence, Elmer, Lloyd, Ernest, Shirley (Anderson) and Norma (Furhman).
