for over fifty-fve years. He received his
academic education at the University OF
Virginia, and studied law under the late
Judge John T. LOmaX, one of his Cir
cult Court predecessors.
Judge Barton never held any public
elective office. save that of City Council
man. He was major of the Confederate
army during the war, and held conil-
Dental position in the Office of the Secre-
tary of War at Richmond. Judge Bar
ton was first elected a circuit judge In
March, 1870, and had been on the bench
for twenty-seven years.
Until his last sickness he had always
enjoyed good health, with a promise of
many years of usefulness.
His present term would not have eX-
pired until 1903.
Judge Barton was universally admired
and respected both as a man and
Judge not only at his home in Frede-
ricksburg and on his circuit, but through
out the State Of Virginia as well. He
was a vestryman of Trinity Episcopal
church. and was often member OF the
State Council of this diocese. He had
been a member Of Lodge No. 4, A. +. and
A. NJ. for more than fifty years
Judge Barton in early life married Miss
Elizabeth Jenifer, Of Maryland, who bore
living-James Jenfer Barton. Of New
York; J. Campbell Barton, Of Port Huron,
Mich. and Mrs. DR.. Alfred c. Palmer, Of
Richmond.
Judge Barton was a familiar figure on
the streets Of Fredericksburg, and was
the recipient Of respectful greetings from
all he met while taking his daily walks
with his brother. General Seth Barton.
He had been in failing health for three
months or more, and for the last month
had been unable to attend 10 business.
Last Tuesday night he lapsed into
semi-unconscious condition. His physi-
clan. DR.. Spot. Carmichael, was soon at
his bedside, and remained with his patient
all night The serious nature OF the at
tack was recognized from the first, and
little hope was held out that the eminent
jurist would ever get out again. He re-
mained in this condition from Tuesday
night until he died. seemingly without
suffering. Two of his children-James j.
Barton, of New York, and Mrs. A. G.
Palmer. Of Richmond-were with him
when he died His other son, Campbell
Barton, of Port Huron, Mich, was not
able TO get here.
