BARTON CRUTCHFIELD
Dies at His Home at ST. Charles,
After a Four Months
Illness.
FOR NEARLY THIRTY YEARS
WITH ST. BERNARD COMPANY.
Superintendent at 81. Charles for Sixteen
Years.-Man With Many Friends.

Barton Crutchfleld died Tuesday
afternoon, October 14th. 1902, at his
home in st. Charles, aged GA years
He was born in Virginia July 18th
1S4S, and came to TODD county, Ken
lucky, with his older brothers in the
summer of 1869. Barton was the
youngest child and Charles Crutch-
field, some years his senior, a prom
inent planter of Trenton, is the only
survivor. The old Crutchfield
homestead was in Spotsylvanla
county, near Fredericksburg, Va,
and was burned during the war.
Mr.. Crutchfield came to Earling-
ton about 1873, and entered the off,
ces of the St. Bernard Coal Com
pany, and the connection then made
with that company has been contin-
uous until his death. In the begin
ming of the year 1886 he was trans
fered from the Darlington office to
St. Charles and made superintend-
ent of the company's operations
there.
On April 17th. 1896 Barton Crutch-
field and Miss Sammie Nisbet were
married. The bride being daugh-
ter of Mr.. w. w. Nisbet, of Madi-
sonville. The married life of these
two happy people was most devoted
and to them were born two lovely
children, which were a light unto
the fathers pathway. For he ever
was most fond of children and child
rem most unerringly recognized him
as their friend. Through four
months of sore affiiction these little
ones and the great courage and love
of the wife sustained the failing
man, for their welfare had ever
been his absorbing thought.
Barton Crutchfleld was man of
big heart and strong and lasting
friendship. His life was an open
book with no shadow of hypocracy,
and his life was filed with deeds of
helpfullness and charity. His
friends were numbered by the hun
dreds.
Mr.. Crutchfield was a mason, a
Knight of Pythias, member of the
ancient order of United Workmen
and of the Golden Cross. In the
latter two orders he carried insur-
ance. The Workmen's lodge of this
place, under the command of grand
officer Thos. Longstaff, escorted the
remains from the residence at st.
Charles to the Darlington cemetery
after the services which were con-
Quoted by the Rev. s. F. Fowler, of
Madisonville, Yesterday morning at
10 o'clock.
The pallbearers were six men with
whom Mr.. Crutchfield had long and
friendly association at st Charles.
They were George Faults, Ludlow
Flake, Mat Sweeney, William
Faults, George King and Esq. J. p.
Fox.
The funeral was attended by
large number of friends and the
floral offerings were numerous and
beautiful.

in a speech at Madison, Wis, the
other day, is quoted as saying
that the duty of 81 cents a ton

repealed at the short session of
congress. He declared the pres

inent domain, "and if he could" +"
added Moody, II should for one
resist the latter action to the ut
