(Cedartown Standard, June 12, 1902) 
Mrs. Clara Trimble Barton, one of Cedartown’s most highly esteemed ladies, 
passed away Saturday night in Atlanta, where she had been under surgical 
treatment at the sanatorium of Drs. Cooper & Elkins for some time. Medical 
skill was unavailing however, and Cedartown today mourns the loss of one of her 
noblest women. Miss Clara Trimble was born at Wetumpka, Ala., Feb. 19th, 1838. 
In her young womanhood she was united in marriage with Col. J. K. Barton, to 
whom she had been a most devoted wife, and has been a model mother to their 
children. The heart broken husband and five children—Mrs. Libbie Niles of 
McGhee, Tenn., Mr. Chas. C. Barton and Misses Mary, Willie and Charlotte Barton-
-survive to mourn her loss. Col. Barton, who has been in Atlanta with his wife, 
brought her remains home Sunday noon, and it was indeed a sad home coming for 
himself and his children. A large number of neighbors and friends met the 
family at the station to express sympathy in their great bereavement. The 
funeral services were conducted at the residence at 2 o’clock Monday afternoon, 
and were very largely attended. The services were conducted by Rev. Geo. E. 
Benedict assisted by Revs. F. L. McFadden and C. K. Henderson. A beautiful 
feature of the service was the music rendered by a quartette, consisting of 
Mesdames Chas. Adamson and A. W. Birkbeck and Messrs, N. H. Swayne and H. B. 
Johnson. Mrs. Barton had lived in this community for many years, and was widely 
known for her many acts of thoughtful kindness as neighbor and friend and in 
relieving poverty and distress. She united with the Presbyterian church in her 
girlhood, and has ever lived the life of a true Christian. The entire community 
unites with the stricken family in mourning the death of this noble woman, and 
the bereaved ones have the sympathy of all in their great loss. (Cedartown
