Bio from book: History Of Texas World War Heroes
Private Bartlett was familiarly known as Abbie in Gonzales County, where he was born and reared. He was called to the service on July 26, 1918, and was over 33 years old, being born January 23, 1885. He was sent to Camp Travis and attached to Co. C, 131st Infantry, 31st Division, and was only in training about a month when his company left for France. While in camp in New York, waiting for transportation overseas, Private Bartlett became sick with influenza, which later developed into pneumonia, resulting in his death on October 11, 1918. His body was sent to Nixon and buried with Masonic honors, of which order he was a member, interment being made in the old Bundick Cemetery near Smiley, it being his request that he be placed there. To those left to mourn there is comfort in the thought that he made the supreme sacrifice for his country. More than this no man can do. Son of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Bartlett, Nixon.
