Harley Wesley Barton was born Nov. 14, 1898, in Chase County to William Albert and Anna Augusta Biegert Barton. He attended Rubin School on Lyons Creek and was raised on his parents' farm in the Lyona Community. He married Hazel Sena Langvardt Aug. 22, 1923, at Kansas Falls near Junction City. He farmed in the Lyona Community until they moved into Junction City in 1950 where they owned Barton's Market until 1970. He worked for Peter Pan Grocery Store after he retired.
Harley was a lifetime member of the Lyona United Methodist Church.
Survivors include his wife Hazel of the home; one son, Lee Langvardt Barton of Omaha, NE; two daughters, Ada Ann Beck of Junction City, and Janet Schlegel of Denver, CO; and one brother Orville Barton of Granby, CT. He is also survived by nine grandchildren: Brenton, Barton, Jason and J.J. Beck of Junction City; Courtney Barton of Omaha, NE; Kent Schlegel of Glenwood Springs, CO; Eulonda O'Donnell of Manhattan, KS, Kara Simms of Monument, CO, and Jill Barton of Omaha, NE. Survivors also include 17 great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents; and two sisters, Annette Augusta Barton who died in infancy, and Charlotte Minnie Barton who died March 23, 1953. He was also preceded in death by two great-granddaughters Taryn Beck, who died March 20, 1982, and Starlyn Beck, who died September 15, 1986, and their mother Deborah Beck who died September 24, 1986.
Harley was loved and respected by all who knew him. One of his greatest loves was the game of baseball. In his younger years, he was known as "Shorty" because of his great ability as shortstop. In his later years, he was content to watch the games on TV. He helped beautify the landscape by planting many trees which he nurtured for years.
Interment will be in the Lyona Cemetery. Memorial gifts may be made to the Lyona United Methodist Church.
