Bio
Louis Joe Barton son of Joseph and Verna Barton.Louis Joe Barton married Emilia Anders. _________________________________ Mr. L.J. Barton, Retired Merchant, Dead Last issue of the Mercury told of our townsman,Mr.Louis J. Barton,being taken to San Antonio for an operation.He was operated on shortly after his arrival in that city,but it was of no avail.The man was in such precarious condition through inward ulcerations that no hope was held out for him,and he lived only a few hours after the operation.The remains were brought home and the funeral took place Saturday afternoon at the Odd Fellows' Cemetery west of town,the funeral being largely attended,for Mr.Barton was a popular man and highly regarded by those who knew him.His death is deeply and sincerely deplored,coming as it did almost without warning. The greater part of Mr.Barton's life was spent in this section.He was a son of Mr. and Mrs.Jos. Barton,early settlers of this section.Mr.Joe Barton,the father,died several years back.The mother is still living.Mr.Barton has been in business in this city for about twenty years.He was honest and honorable in his dealings with his fellow-man.One business man remarked to the writer a few days ago:"Whatever may be said of Louie Barton,it must be acknowledged he was an honest man." and he told of Mr.Barton getting behind with a certain account,but said that as soon as he sold out his business he promptly wrote out a check to cover same. He was an active member of the Weimar Fire Department for a number of years,but later in life became a honorary member.The fireboys took an active part in the funeral. Surviving him are his widow,one son,Hans,one daughter,Miss Verna,his mother,Mrs.Jos. Barton,two brothers,Felix and Ed,and two sisters,Mrs.Joe Krizak of Oakland and Mrs.Will Brunkenhoefer of this city. To the bereaved ones out heartfelt sympathy is extended.
