r. ID. Walton was once the sexton
of church-and only once, so far as
the records show. This was a long
time ago and it happened near his
boyhood home at Forest Home in
Poweshiek county. A new Methodist
minister had been sent to the neigh.
borhood and the young man was to
stop at the Walton home. Church ser.
vices heretofore had been few and
at irregular intervals, and the neigh
borhood was happy to know they were
to have a preacher of their own. With
boyish zeal that first Sunday morn
ing Mr.. Walton went to the church,
built big fire and swept and busted.
The preacher came and the day was a
great event in the community. That
preacher was none other than Rev.
Matt Hughes, now of Pasadena, Cali
fornia, and this was the very first ser.
mon he had ever preached. Mr..
Hughes stuck to the job and has de-
veloped into one of the greatest min
listers in the Methodist church in
America, but Mr.. Walton changed his
occupation and is contented with be-
ing a successful clothing merchant
in Oskaloosa, and president of the
Iowa Retail Clothiers' association.
The two have remained warm friends
ever since. however, and they keep
up an occasional eSpondence-of'
ten referring to that first Sunday at
old Forest Home.
