Arthur E. Darton, 91, a resident of Loyal and vicinity since 1873, died on Friday morning, death being caused by old age complications.

 

He was born at Hartford, June 8, 1866 and came with his parents to a farm in the town of Beaver when he was seven years old. He retired in 1928 and moved into the city of Loyal. His son, Hugh Darton, is on the home farm. While living in Beaver, he served on the school board of his district and also on the town board.

 

He was married to Olga F. Rossman at Greenwood, January 1, 1896. He is survived by his wife, one daughter, Mrs. Marcel (Claire) Ketchhpaw, of Bloomer, and one son, Loyal. Four brothers and four sisters preceded him in death.

 

He was a member of the Loyal Methodist Church. Funeral services were held there at 2 p.m. Monday. The Pastor, the Rev. Wendel Bennetts, officiated. Mrs. Byron Zepplin was organist, and James Colby sang "Jesus Leads" and "Abide With Me."
