Obituary of John Matilda Barton
Cameron, Tex., November 4. -- John M. Barton, postmaster at this place, died here this morning after an illness of some fifteen days. A deep feeling of sorrow and sympathy for his bereaved family pervades the entire community. Mr. Barton 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 change of the administration. He was buried this evening, the Knights of Homer conducting the exercises.
