There were many present Saturday afternoon at the funeral exercises of Mrs. Eva Barton, who died Friday morning in a local sanitarium. The funeral took place at 2 o'clock from the family residence, 2616 Colcord avenue, Rev. JM Dawson, pastor of First Baptist church, officiating. Burial was at Oakwood cemetery.There were many floral tributes, and Rev. J.M. Dawson spoke in high terms of the life and work of Mrs. Barton. Mrs. Barton's married life was filled with the romance of being the mate of a man who is destined to succeed in an original and specific way.Whether fortune smiled or disaster clouded the day Mrs. Barton played the game of life with undismayed courage, even supplying at times the waning courage of her inventive husband when his ambition for success seemed to heavy to call upon the woman he loved. To Mrs Barton belonged the peculiar joy of working side by side with him in their dreams. Mr.Barton's contribution to the world was therefore a happy duet and no mere lonely solo.Mrs Barton was possessed of a intuition of suffering or need in those who clasped her hand and whether the encounter called for spiritual or temporal compassion, the divergence of the way always bore testimony to her gracious willingness and abundant ability to have met the recent challenge. As a daughter in Falls County, she brought sunshine into a mother's tumultous days, as a bride she brought hope into an inventive husband's ambitious search, as a friend she brought cheer into countless women's and children's problems, as a wife of 19 years she brought continual pride into her new world.
