Death Notice Information:
"Isaac Barton, fifth Bishop of the 19th Ward, Salt Lake City, Utah, was born December 11, 1842 in St. Helens, Lancashire, England, son of John Barton and Elizabeth Bell. He was baptized when about 8 years old, and became identified with the St. Helens Branch of the Liverpool Conference. Subsequently, he was ordained to the lesser Priesthood and acted in the capacity of Deacon and Teacher. He emigrated to America in 1861, crossing the Atlantic in the ship "Underwriter," which sailed from Liverpool, April 23, 1861. He drove an ox-team across the plains in the train which brought wire and other material for the construction of the overland telegraph. On his arrival in Salt Lake City, he joined his three brothers (William Bell, James and John) who had emigrated to Utah the year previous and became a resident of the 13th Ward, where he remained till the following spring.
Soon after his arrival in the Valley he was ordained a Seventy and became a member of the 62nd Quorum. In 1862 he went to Nevada, and when volunteers were called for in that state to take up arms in the defense of the Union, which was at that time involved in Civil War, he enlisted (March 1864) in the 1st Battalion of Nevada Cavalry, expecting to go to the seat of war. But the services of his company were needed on the frontiers, the Indians being hostile at that time. He received an honorable discharge at Fort Douglas, July 1866 as a sergeant, became a resident of Kaysville, Davis County, when he was called to military service in San Pete and Sevier County in the Blackhawk War.
He married Miss Agnes E. Parr, December 26, 1870. The next year he located in Salt Lake City, Utah, and became a resident of the 19th Ward. In 1879, after being employed by Samuel P. Teasdel for eight years, he commenced business for himself by manufacturing overalls, carrying on a merchant tailoring establishment. In 1882 he and his brother, Joseph, established a general mercantile business in Layton, Davis County.
In 1885 he resumed the management of the Salt Lake business previously mentioned which is still in existence under the firm name of Barton and Company. After the death of Bishop James Watson, Elder Isaac Barton was ordained a High Priest and Bishop, February 16, 1890, by Angus M. Cannon, and set apart to preside in that capacity over the 19th Ward in which office he is still laboring.
