Obituary – John M. Barton

Cameron, Tex., Nov 4 – John M. Barton, postmaster at this place, died here 
this morning after an illness of some fifteen days. A deep feeling of sorrow

was about 50 years old. He was a member of Hood’s brigade during the war and 
lost his right arm at the battle of Sharpsburg. His brother, who was by his 
side in that battle, sustained the same loss and at about the same time. He 
was appointed postmaster with the charge of the administration. He was buried 
this evening, the Knights of Honor conducting the exercises.
