Bartkoski from a self inflicted gun shot wound. His wife was Anna Sinkoswka. He was a son of Michael Bartkoski born 1823 Poland. Obit probably from The Cassville Democrat. John Bartkoski Commits Suicide John Bartkoski, an 80 year old farmer, committed suicide at the home of his son, Staney Bartkoski, a prominent farmer residing near Bricefield, last Sunday morning at 10:30 o'clock. His son, Staney, who was in Cassville this week, said he heard a noise in an upstairs room at his home and upon investigation, found his father lying on the floor dead, with his clothing on fire, which had been set from the old musket which he used in ending his life. No cause is given for his actions. He had been in good health and spirits and had made no indication whatever that he intended taking such steps. The shot took effect in his stomach and ranged upwards toward his heart. The gun he used had not been fired in 15 years. Mr. Bartkoski was born in Poland and came to the county 45 years ago and settled on the farm where he died, and had lived there continuously since comning to this country. He leaves a wife and one son. Funeral services were held Tuesday morning at the St. Peter and Paul Catholic church in Bricefield, conducted by Father Julian, after which the remains were laid to rest in the cemetery at that place. He was a good man and enjoyed the respect and confidence of all his acquaintances. The Democrat extends sincere sympathy to the bereaved in their sad hour. 1900 Census Missouri; Barry; Capps Creek; District 3 John Bartkoski, head, born Dec 1844 Poland, age 55, married for 28 years, immigrated to US in 1884, parents born Poland Annie, wife, born Aug. 1843 Poland, mother of 2 children, 1 living, immigrated to US in 1884, parents born Poland Stanney, son, born Apr. 1874 Poland, age 26, married 3 years, immigrated to US in 1884 Josephine, daughter-in-law, born Mar 1879 MO, age 21, parents born Germany Sophie, granddaughter, born Mar. 1899 MO, age 1 Michael, father, born 1823 Poland, age 77, widowed, immigrated to US in 1882, parents born Poland Annie Bartkoski, adopted daughter, born 1891 NY, age 9, parents born NY 1920 Census Missouri; Barry; Capps Creek; District 185 Stoney Bartkoski, head, age 46, born Poland abt. 1874, parents born Poland, immigrated to US in 1885 Josie, wife, age 39, born abt. 1881 MO, parents born Poland Clara dau., age 18, born abt. 1902 MO Mary, dau., age 18, born abt. 1902 MO (twins?)
