He was united in marriage to Miss Clara DeLate on July 3, 1880. To this union were born two children, both of whom survive him. The family came to Farnam in 1893, and Mr. Barton engaged in the lumber business for a few years, when they moved to the Western part of the state, returning again in 1900 or 1901, as Editor of the Echo. The family resided here until 1904 when they sold their business, and moved to Bartley, where Mr. Barton was engaged in the real estate business until about 5 years ago, when he went to make his home with his son at Sioux City, Ia.
He leaves to mourn his going, his son and daughter, R. A. Barton, of Sioux City and Mrs. H. G. Ric[k]ard, of Powell, Wyo., and a brother, R. H. Barton, of Long Beach, Calif.
