Notes


After Jessie and Bertha married, they farmed on her dad, Jim Day's place. They lived in a new plank house Mr. Day built for them. After Bertha died, Jesse let Grady and Ethel, his sister, have his furniture and he and the two children, Isaac and Annie Mae, moved in with his parents. Jesse helped his dad farm and his mom took care of the children. Jesse married Mae Troutt and they moved in the little house where he and Bertha lived. In 1924, Frank and Betty gave Jesse the 14 acres land which Henry had deeded back to them. Jesse built a two room house and farmed. During the depression, he was too proud to ask for government aid. He trapped and hunted, worked a little for other people and farmed his own land. This write up was in the paper when Uncle Jesse died: Jesse Barton of the Leagueville community was killed Christmas Eve, about eight o'clock when a car in which he and nine others were riding plunged from a wooden bridge to a ravine fifteen feet below, near the P.D. Nichols home. Louis Davis, son-in-law of Barton, was driving the car. Mrs. Barton, wife of deceased, received a broken arm. The family had been to O'Bethel church to a Christmas program and tree, and were returning home. He was buried in the Leagueville cemetary Christmas Day.
