Although the neighbors and citizens had been expecting the worst for several days, yet they were inexpressibly shocked last Wednesday upon learning the sad news of the death of John Walton at his home on the Livengood farm, three miles west of Yountsville. While expecting the worse, his relatives and friends were hoping that a change for the better might take place. But it was hoping against hope, for his spirit took its flight from the body racked with pain to its heavenly home.
John Walton, son of Santford and Emma Walton, was born in Montgomery County July 2, 1867, and bid farewell to this earth and dear ones Nov. 6, 1901, aged 34 years, 4 months and 4 days. On the eleventh of November, 1895, he was united in marriage to Mrs. Mary Oliphant. This union was a blessed one, they being much devoted and almost constant companions till death came to them. She survives with three children, Willie, age twelve, Ruth, age four, and Ralph, age two; also a father and mother, two brothers and a host of relatives and friends that mourn the loss of this one.
The deceased was one of the community’s most highly respected and esteemed men. His kind and gentle disposition made him warm friends where he went. He was a loving father, a devoted husband, a kind son and brother, and in his death a good man has gone from us, but his influence will live on and inspire those who knew him for his good qualities. He was a sufferer from congestion and bore his sickness with fortitude. But he has now laid down his burdens and passed from this world of pain and sorrow to dwell where there are no disappointments, but in a land of love and where all is joy and peace.
The funeral was conducted at the home Thursday morning at 11 o’clock by the ministers, Monger and Daugherty. A large concourse of relatives and friends assembled there to show the esteem in which he was held. The body was laid to rest in the Wesley Cemetery.
