The colorized picture is of my grandmother Yetta Barton. The only thing that I have in the way of identification on the source of the picture is the number at the bottom. The name on the back of the picture is Flowers so it has to date to 1900 or 1901. Yetta was born December 31, 1882. She was the daughter of James Barton and Sarah Elizabeth West.

James was born in Pennsylvania in May 1845. Sarah was born in 1846 in Ohio. Yetta's Grandfather William Barton was born in Ireland and lived to be almost 100.

The 1895 census has his age as 96. His name does not appear in the 1900 census.
