She was married to Charles L. Barton, March 8th, 1883. To this union six children were born: Vena May Holland, of Drumright, Oklahoma, Martha Ellen Bennet, William L. Barton, Sarah Catharine Hogue, John F. Barton, all of Sperry, Oklahoma, and Laura Mina Daniels of Skiatook, Oklahoma. Sister Barton departed this life Sunday morning, February 27th, 1927, at her home in Sperry, all of her family being with her when the end came. She was 64 years, 4 months and 13 days old. Beside her husband and children she is survived by two brothers, G. F. Stohr of Hominy, Oklahoma, and J. R. Stohr of Fresno, California, also a sister, Mrs. Clarence N. Dicks of Clarence, Missouri, together with neices, grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. At an early age she united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, and always lived a consistent Christian life, and when the time came for her departure she had the blessed assurance of life eternal with her Saviour whom she loved and served. She was very much devoted to her family and friends, and never tired of trying to lighten the burden of others. In her passing the community at large has lost a true friend, and good neighbor, and a citizen of noble purpose and sterling integrity. She will be sadly missed and long remembered. Shelby Co.
