Death of H. L. Walton -
"Decatur County Journal", 16 AUG 1894

"Lenhart Walton died suddenly early Friday morning near the residence of his son-in-law, Henry Oney, in Eden Township. He was engaged in watering a horse at a well about a quarter mile distant from the house when he was seized with hemorrhage of the lungs and died almost instantly. Mrs. William Fletcher saw his fall, but when the neighbors reached him his soul had taken flight across the silent river. He had been in failing health for some time but recently had improved so as to be about and was in town the day before his death. Funeral services were held by the Rev. G. M. Hughes at the residence of Henry Oney after which internment occurred at the Chastain Cemetery. He was buried by the Masonic Fraternity of which he had long been a faithful member. H. L. Walton was born at Williamsport, Pennsylvania in 1816. At an early age he moved with his parents to Marion County, Ohio where he grew to manhood on his father's farm. In 1838 he married Elizabeth Clark, to which union eight children were born, only four of whom are now living. In October 1853 he settled with his wife and eight children on a farm in Eden Township, where he resided for twenty two years. In 1884 his wife died and subsequently married Miss Lucy Loving, daughter of John Loving, who lived but a short time afterwards. The deceased was one of the pioneers of '53 and belonged to a class of whom in a brief generation transformed an unbroken wilderness into a cultivated region of thrift and prosperity. We was an honorable aiable, unobtrusive citizen. The highest mead of praise that can be respected and loved by those who knew him best and this can be truthfully said of our lamented friend. Peace to his ashes - may he sleep tranquil.
