CARD OF THANKS

I would like to thank the many friends and business establishments for the last few years of much to my father O. N. (Red) BARTON. The Iowa State Bank was more like a second home to him, as well as the old family barber shop. I would like to extend my thanks to the Fairfield Clinic, each doctor was very understanding and considerate, and also to the Nelson Nursing Home.

IN MEMORIAM

In memory of Mr. O. N. 'Red' BARTON, Oct. 24, 1968:

Well, today is your birthday Dad,
And you fooled us once again;
You're celebrating it with mother,
Just as it should have been.
I could tell by the look on your face,
That you're happy and content
So now we know for sure,
Just what God has meant.

DeWayne BARTON and Family
