C.B. Barton May 25, 1924 – January 21, 2010
C.B. was born in Tahoka, Texas and was the only child of Clardy and Grace Barton. He spent his early years in West Texas and Hobbs, New Mexico where he attended high school. He was a combat veteran of the U.S. Army and served with the 468th Antiaircraft Artillery Battalion attached to the U.S. Third Army. His unit participated in the relief of Bastogne during the Battle of the Bulge. C.B. came to California in 1952 and worked in Taft and Bakersfield until his retirement. He married the love of his life, Fran, in July of 1981 and spent his retirement happily restoring cars, scrounging garage sales, tinkering with anything that needed fixing and enjoying being with Fran and his children and grandchildren. He loved family gatherings and playing the role of "expert chef".
