NATHAN HENRY BARTON (excerpt)
Nathan Henry Barton passed away early yesterday morning after a short illness with typhoid pneumonia.
For 23 years the former soldier and pioneer made his home in this vicinity, moving here on coming to California from Illinois, where he was born in Hancock county, in 1840. He was in the sixty-ninth year of his life when death called at his door.
When the Civil war broke out Mr. Barton joined the army and served with distinction, fighting for his country.
Although a druggist the former veteran gave up his profession some years ago on account of his poor health and since that time has been seeking outdoor life.
He was always prominent in Grand Army circles and with ever the thoughts of the bloody conflicts, in which he and his comrades fought, fresh in his mind and with fire in his eyes he often told stirring tales of the war to the younger generation. The welfare of the other members of the post was his topic of interest and in recognition of the noble manner in which he worked in his declining years for the good of the G. A. R. upon him was conferred the high honor of commander of his local comrades.
