Anton Bartels, proprietor of a splendid farm of 322 acres located in the 
Germantown neighborhood in the northwest part of Deepwater township, was 
born in 1861 in a log cabin which stood on the farm which he now owns. He is the 
son of Joseph and Elizabeth (Kleine) Bartels, both of whom were born in Germany. 
Joseph Bartels made a settlement in Henry County as early as 1853, or 
thereabout, and departed this life in 1869. After the death of his parents, Anton 
Bartels lived with the neighbors and friends and worked out by the day at 
whatever he could get to do and earn an honest dollar. For over thirty years he 
was employed in Kansas City and returned to the old home farm in 1912. For 
sixteen years he served as baggageman in the union depot at Kansas City and for 
ten years he was in the employ of the William Voelker Wholesale Company of 
Kansas City. During the thirty years spent in steady, constant employment, he 
saved his money and invested it in the old home place of his father in Deepwater 
township and additional land. In 1912 he returned to his birthplace and is 
contented to live the life of an agriculturist and stockman, independent of the 
time clocks and the bosses for the rest of his natural life. Mr. Bartels was 
married July 16, 1912, to Miss Geraldine Black, an orphan girl, who was born May 
9, 1892, and came to Missouri when three years of age, living first at Montrose 
and later at Germantown. Mr. and Mrs. Bartels have one child: Virgil Anton, born 
December 6, 1917. Mr. Bartels is an. independent voter who is not held by the 
party fetish worship idea. He thinks and acts for himself and votes accordingly. 
He and Mrs. Bartels are members of the Catholic Church.
