| Headline | OLD TIME BARRY CO. CITIZEN PASSES ON UNCLE BILL BARTMESS SUCCUMBS AT HOME OF DAUGHTER, IN PASLEY COMMUNITY, LAST FRIDAY MORNING |
| Text | William Joseph Bartmess was born in Illinois, December 25, 1848. He died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Carrie McCandless, south of Cassville, on March 16, 1934, at the age of eight-five years, two months and twenty-one days. He was united in marriage to Eliza Ellen Rardin, on March 9, 1871. To this union eight children were born. Three of the children and his wife preceded him in death. Those living are Johnnie of Boise, Idaho; Joe of Golden, Mo; Mrs. Minnie Wallace and Cora Walfinbarger of Ontario Calif., and Mrs. Carrie McCandless of Cassville. He had made his home with Mrs. McCandless for the past several years. Beside the children living, he is survived by a number of grandchildren and other relatives and friends. Funeral services were at ten o’clock Saturday morning, March 17 at the Horine Funeral Home in Cassville, by Chas. Vanzandt. Burial was in the Viney cemetery near Golden, under the direction of Horine-Culver Funeral Service. This excellent character had lived a great part of his life in this county and was a man whose word was his bond and had many friends. He lived in the Golden country many years coming to his splendid daughter’s home after the passing of his good wife. “Uncle Bill” as he was familiarly known, was loved by all who knew him. It was the writer’s good fortune to have been intimately acquainted with him for many years and well loved and respected him. He was an intimate friend of Charles Ray, deceased editor of this paper, as well as his father, the late Dr. Jim Ray, founder of the Democrat, and had been a subscriber to this paper since its establishment in 1872. We extend sympathy to the bereaved relatives of this good man.
