Shelby County, Missouri Obituary - Daniel Barton 16 June 1865 PALMYRA SPECTATOR We understand that on Wednesday of last week a squad of militia from Macon County arrested Daniel Barton of Shelby county: and the next day, while on their return with him to Macon City they shot him. He had but recently returned home from a long imprisonment in the military prison at Chicago. We understand that those who killed him charged him with being an accomplice of some bushwackers who had lately made a raid through that section of the county. He was some 40 years of age and leaves a wife and 11 children.
