Bartron, George R., (page 1208), dealer in agricultural tools, Lake City, 
has been a resident of Minnesota since 1855. David and Phoebe J. Bartron, 
his parents, were born in Pennsylvania, of French and German descent, and 
the subject of this biography was given to them July 15, 1844, in Wayne 
county, that state. The family settled in Hay Creek township, Goodhue 
county, at the date first above mentioned, and Mr. Bartron now owns the 
original homestead. The father and mother afterward removed to Welch 
township, in the same county, where the former died in 1883, aged 
seventy-nine, and the latter still resides, aged seventy-four. Our subject 
remained on the farm until the fall of 1876, and then came to Lake City 
and opened an agricultural warehouse. Two years later W. R. Murray became 
associated with him, and the firm has continued the business with marked 
success. While very liberal in religious theories, Mr. Bartron is a 
supporter of the Episcopal church, where his wife and children attend. His 
wedding occurred November 8, 1866, the bride being Miss Maria D., daughter 
of W. J. Jacobs, a sketch of whom will be found elsewhere in this book. 
Four children have come to bless the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bartron, and 
have been severally christened George W., John D., Sarah J. and Harry J.
