| Text | #1. Peter Catron was born in Hancock County, Tennessee, May 10, 1828 and died Oct 31, 1910. There he grew to manhood. With the true pioneer spirit he left his native state and went west and settled 43 years ago in Barry County, Missouri near Cassville. For the most of this time he lived on the same farm about two and one-fourth miles northwest of town. There he built a home and reared a large family and helped to shape the affairs for this county as they have been handed down to the present generation. Sixty years ago he was united in married to Anna England who has survived her husband. To this union were born six sons and two daughters all of who are living. They are Mrs. G. H. Glass of Wyandotte, Okla.; and Mrs. Walter McNabb, of Exeter; Hiram of Tampieo, Mexico; James and William of near Cassville, George of Eureka Springs, Ark.; Jasper and Andy also of near Cassville. #2. Obituary: Funeral services were held Monday Nov 1, at Antioch Church conducted by Rev. Ed. Chappell. In the death of Mr. Catron, Barry County loses one of her best citizens, a man of simple stern and upright character, a man whose habits of life were exemplary and who believed in the cardinal virtues of honesty and strict attention to one's own affairs in every regard. In this passing away another of our pioneers has answered the summons which so many have so recently answered in this county.
