Funeral services for W.H. Barton, mention of whose death was made in Monday's Herald, were held in the United Brethren church at Maple Hill last Wednesday morning, Rev. Hanks, of the church officiating. The music was furnished by a make quartette consisting of E.J. McDonald, E.C. Ware, Leslie Shaffer and William Smith... The pall was born by Asa Hipple, Arthur Bandley, George Crawford and Riley Ames.
William Henry Barton, who was 74 years, one month and eighteen days of age, was the son of Henry and Olive Barton, who were pioneer settles. He was born on his father's farm at Fauncetown and spent his entire life on this farm until last September, on account of ill health, he went to spend the winter with his daughter, Mrs. J. H. Nelson, at whose home he died. He had been a great sufferer for the past eight years from paralysis. On January 1, 1867, he was united in marriage to Margaret J. Benn, who survives him with the following children: Mrs. J.H. Nelson of NewCastle; Mrs. P. H. Saunders of Cambridge Springs; Mrs. C.J. Grove of Diamond; W. L. Barton of El Dorado, Kas., and Mrs. O.W. Morse of Diamond. This is the first time the family circle has been broken.
Because the son, W.L. Barton, could not reach home in time for the funeral, the interment was held over until Thursday morning at 11 o'clock. Those from a distance in attendance were W.L. Barton of El Dorado, Kas., Mr. and Mrs. J.H. Nelson of New Castle, Mr. and Mrs. P.H. Sanders and family of Cambridge Springs, Private Benn E. Nelson of Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, O,; 332nd Infantry, Robert Arhurs and Norman Nelson of Meadville.
He leaves one sister, Mrs. Amanda Gerry of Duke Center, and two brothers, Oscar and Alfred Barton of Townville. He was a member of the Steuben Grange.
