“James B. Barton was my mother's cousin and my Grandmother Aunt Alice was his aunt. I will miss his gospel messages as he served as our Stake President. He wanted us to spend more time in the temple and had wise counsel every six months that he spoke to us. Becky and family we are praying for you to remember his goodness and love for all of you. Becky and James have a wonderful family heritage. He has now passed to the other side of the veil to be with his parents, grandparents and lovedones”
