His first telegraph job was in a box car on a Great Northern Railroad siding in the north part of the state. The town which grew there was called Barton.

They lived in a house one block north of the hotel. Later Mr. Barton purchased the Rev. Lamen home on the corner where the Catholic Church now stands.
