BARTON--Richard Ramey went to Lincoln Monday morning in response to a message announcing the death of Mrs. Silas R. Barton, wife of State Auditor Barton. Mr. Barton and Mr. Ramey have for years been close friends, and Mr. Ramey is with the bereaved husband at this time of his deep sorrow. The following was taken from the Lincoln and Omaha Monday papers: "Mrs. Silas R. Barton, wife of State Auditor Barton, died yesterday at 10 o'clock following an illness of some years, though which became extremely serious only a few days ago. The funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Christian church at Aurora, the pastor of the church officiating. The pall bearers, selected from among the leaders of the Ancient Order of United Workmen lodge, will be as follows: J.D. Brayton, of Benedict; J.H. Bennett, of Omaha; W.N. Huse, of Norfolk; W.E. Loungsbury, of Aurora; N. Kohn, of Lincoln, and A. Galusha, of Lincoln. The body will be taken to Aurora Tuesday. Mrs. Barton was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.E. Miles, of Aurora. Last January she and Mr. Barton removed to Lincoln and only a few months ago began to keep house on E street. For some years Mrs. Barton had been in poor health, necessitating on two occasions submission to an operation. Since removing to Lincoln, however, Mrs. Barton had seemed to be improving and she was able to take part in the social affairs of the city, and had won for herself a permanent place in the select society of the city. Her death was not expected and her last illness was of only a few days' duration. Auditor Barton was in Kansas City at the time she became sick, and arrived home only on Friday night. At the time of the dissolution, Mrs. Barton's parents and Mr. Barton's mother were present. Mrs. Barton was 33 years of age and leaves no children, their only child having died several years ago, in infancy."
