HIS BIRTHDAY
Bernard E Hatton, owner of the Hatton Paint and Paper store , was born August 27, 1863 in St. Louis. He came to this city in 1879 and three years later started the business in which he is today.
For thirty-four years he has handled paint and paper, and has seen Columbia grown from a country village to its present size. In 1885 he married a Columbia girl, Miss Carey Tillery. Mr Hatton is of English descent, his parents coming from the old country. He is a member of the Catholic Church.
BE Hatton has the distinction of bringing the first motion picture machine to this city. This was before Columbia had electricity and a calcium light was used in the production of his pictures. At that time, it was necessary to buy reels, and the cost was $150 a reel. His first show was in the old Haden Opera House.
He also built the second air-dome ever constructed in the state, the first one being built in Excelsior Springs.
Mr. Hatton is one of the oldest citizens of Columbia, for time of service, and has been instruments in bringing many of the present institutions of the town to this place. Today he is 53 years old and will admit he is just as good a man as ever before.
