JANE MULHERRIN BARTON - Barton #11247 Pike County Missouri History, Des Moines, Iowa, Mills and Company, 1883, pp. 445-6. MRS. JANE MULHERRIN BARTON. Among the very best of nature’s noblewomen this aged and estimable lady would, in strictest justice, be a assigned a place. She was born in Bourbon county, Kentucky, September 16, 1801. Here she was raised to womanhood, acquiring a thorough knowledge of all the duties, and becoming perfectly conversant with all the details, of the diverse character of work that were in after years, and in a new country, to be imposed upon her. The drill of her girlhood was the best training for her maturer years. The habits of industry acquired in her father’s family were carried with a cheerful spirit into her husband’s home. She was married August 2, 1817, when little less than sixteen years of age, and in the October following started with her husband and her father’s family to the wilds of Missouri. There were then no railroads over whose iron track the speeding trains swept with the swiftness of the wind. They came by wagon and camped at night-fall within the deep, moaning forests, or upon the broad, far-reaching prairies. After a long and wearisome journey they stood at last upon the western bank of the “Father of Waters,” and who can tell with what feelings of despondency and utter isolation they looked forward beyond the rolling river towards the home of their far distant loved ones. But they had come to work, not to mourn, and to the duties of the hour they addressed themselves without repinings. Soon the hills were dotted with their cabins; the sound of their axes were heard in the valleys; woman’s merry laughter floated out on the frost-laden air, the solitudes of a new country had again been disturbed, and another settlement planted within the limits of Pike county. For many years Mrs. Barton continued to reside in the country, and through her husband’s good judgment and persistent energy and her own good management and economy they succeeded in accumulating considerable property. Mrs. Barton is the mother of thirteen children, but five of whom live to cheer her declining years. Her husband has also passed away, having died in 1868, after they had lived happily together for almost half a century. For quite a number of years she has lived in the village of Paynesville, where she has a comfortable home, and where the entire community vie with each other in attention of considerate and affectionate regard. For almost sixty-five years she has lived in the Christian’s faith, having joined the Church of Christ at Ramsey Creek, in January, 1819. She is strictly attentive to her religious duties and attends punctually upon the preaching of the word of life. Her general health is very good, and but for a fall received several years ago, and which seriously affected one of her limbs, she would be remarkably active. She continues to ride on horseback, an exercise of which she is very fond, and rides not only over the village but also over the neighborhood. She is a very welcome guest at every home, for her presence carries with it sunshine and joy. No one in the entire community would be more seriously missed or more deeply mourned than “Aunt Jane Barton.” She has encouraged the strong, assisted the weak and dependent, ministered to the wants of the afflicted, and spoken words of consolation and hope to the despondent or the dying. With her strength and activity there are in prospect for her quite a number of useful and happy years. May she live to enjoy them and to longer bless those who know and love her with her conversation and presence.

He was born January 7, 1875, in Brownsville, Edmonson County, this state, and comes of honored pioneer stock, being a great-grandnephew of General Benjamin Logan, whose name is inseparably associated with Kentucky’s history. Judge Logan is one of the ten children of Gillis Franklin and Georgiana (Houchin) Logan, whose family numbered seven sons and three daughters. The mother was born August 8, 1849, in Edmonson county and died October 30, 1911, on the Logan homestead. Her parents, Asel and Polly (Webb) Houchin, were prosperous farming people of Edmonson county and the father was a Baptist in religious faith, while his political support was given to the republican party. Gillis F. Logan was born August 7, 1832, in Hardin county, Kentucky, and received his education in private schools and taught school for a number of years. He fought for the Union during the dark days of civil strife and afterward followed the occupation of farming. He was a democrat but never held any political office. He was a member of the Baptist church and shaped his conduct by its teaching. He reached the age of eighty-two years, passing away in Brownsville, April 6, 1915. His parents, M. M. and Elizabeth (Merlin) Logan, resided for a number of years in Edmonson county where his father was justice of the peace for half a century. In 1880 he moved to Leitchfield, Kentucky, where he spent the remainder of his life. He was born near Columbia, South Carolina, in 1808. His father was Joseph D. Logan, a Presbyterian minister who was the son of James Logan, who was also the son of James Logan, the brother of David Logan, who was the father of General Benjamin Logan, the Kentucky pioneer. His mother was Jane Dandridge, who died at his birth and soon thereafter his father married a Lee. Upon the death of his father when he was very young he went to live with a family of Lindseys who were related to his father and with them he came to Kentucky about 1816. He wife was a native of Hardin county, Kentucky, and she died in Edmonson county about the year 1838. Marvel M.

In 1901 he was nominated for county attorney of Edmonson county on the democratic ticket and although the county was overwhelmingly republican he was elected by a narrow majority. He continued to practice law at Brownsville until January 1, 1912, when he went to Frankfort in the legal department of which General James Garnett was at the time the head. He served four years in this capacity when he was elected attorney general for the term commencing January 1, 1916. He served until June, 1917, when he resigned.

Thomas in Bowling Green with whom he continued to practice until the first of January, 1927. At the regular election in 1926 he as elected a judge of the court of appeals and is now discharging the duties of that office.
