Death of Mr. James Barton

This well-known resident of Roseville died on Friday morning last after an illness of about a weeks' duration, of congestion of the brain.

There were probably few men more widely known throughout this section than Mr. Barton. When quite a young man, and while his parents resided near this town, on the Mill Creek road, he entered the employ of the late Archibald Henderson in the mill more lately owned by Messrs. Broomfield & McDougall, occupying the position of head sawyer from some years. Finally he established himself in a mill at Roseville. His success there was quite marked, although misfortune overtook him in the burning of his mill and much valuable property without insurance which severely taxed his energies to overcome. But he did overcome them, and at the time of his death had succeeded in establishing not alone a large and flourishing business, but an excellent financial standing. As a business man Mr. Barton was in every sense most trustworthy, and any bargain or contract entered into by him was carried out on his part to the letter. Going to work as young as what he did, his opportunities for education were necessarily limited; but in his business affairs he was most accurate, - surprisingly so to many who dealt with him. He leaves a wife and six children, four girls and two sons, one of his daughters being married to Mr. Clemens, who has been connected with the mill for some years, and his son being book-keeper in his mill. Both his parents are dead.

Mr. Barton was a member of the church of the United Brethren. His funeral took place on Monday morning last, from his residence to the church and cemetery of that denomination just west of the village. The attendance was very large, the church being much crowded and many being compelled to remain outside. Very earnest address were delivered by bishop Sherk, Rev. Mr. Bowman and another Rev. gentleman. After an impressive prayer at the grave, the body was lowered to its resting place, and the place that has known James Barton for so many years shall know him no more forever.

Subsequently, Mr. and Mrs. McKenzie removed to Galt and took up their permanent residence here, about 35 years ago. Deceased's husband died in 1865. In the death of Mrs. McKenzie a family of six children are left to mourn the departure of a kind and esteemed mother.
