GARTON, farmer and stock-raiser, section 9, Clay Township, was born in Putnam County, Virginia, November 4, 1844, a son of Allen D. Garton. His father came to this county with his family in the fall of 1851, locating then in Washington Township. In the spring of 1853 he removed to Clay Township, and after a residence here of several years he returned to his present home in Washington Township. Our subject was reared to the avocation of a farmer, which he has followed the greater part of his life. In his youth he attended the rude log-cabin school of that early day, making the most of his limited advantages, and after completing his education he followed school-teaching about four years, since which he has been engaged in farming and stock-raising, in which he has been successful, and is now the owner of 400 acres of choice land. Mr. Garton was married January 20, 1879, to Mary S. Shipley, daughter of Richard Shipley, of Jefferson Township. Seven children have been born to them of whom four are living -- William P., Gilbert H., Samuel F. and Edward. Mr. Garton takes an active interest in educational matters, and has held offices in connection with the schools of his township for many years. He has served Clay Township as justice of the peace for the past three or four years, and still holds that position. He has also served a few years as township clerk. He has been a member of the Masonic fraternity since twenty-one years of age, having joined in January, 1866, and has held all the offices of that order. He is at present worshipful master of Clay Lodge, No. 193, A. F. & A. M.
