The funeral services of Barton A. Hall took place Tuesday evening at 4 clock. He was born in Monroe county, this state, fifty-two years ago and when old enough enlisted in the 145th Indiana infantry, Company E, and served with honor until after the close of the war in 1866. He was married to Miss Melissa Houston in 1867 at his home in Elliottsville this state. Six children were born to them, five now living, Mrs. Lilly Lytle, Mrs. Louisa Elliott, Mrs. Mabel Williams, Miss Minnie and young son four years old, now at home. He leaves two brothers and two sisters. Mr. Hall was a man whose duty to his family was never neglected. Though he worked hard for days' wages, he provided well for those dependent on him. Always affectionate and kind, and loved to have his married daughters near him. He was a member of the Christian church, was well known, and had a host of friends through the county. Last fall he moved his residence in the fair ground and from that time his health has not been good, which was attributed to the damp and unhealthy surroundings of the fair ground home. Two weeks ago he became very ill and each day grew worse. He knew it was death and prepared himself to answer the summons which came at 6 o'clock Sunday morning. Services at the Christian church. Burial at Oak Hill. - thanks to Kim H
