The Walton Bible

Hi Laura. .I will be glad to share pictures of the bible with you. .I am related thru their daughter Phebe who married Caleb Ball. Phebe and Caleb's daughter Sarah was my GGGG-Grandmother. I will send the pictures as attachments. There are two of inside pages with names and dates written. Looks like they wrote one of just their children, then wrote another and added who they married. Then on the inside cover is written "Amos Walton, a good man, may God bless him" Also on this page is a bunch of scribbling here and there. Then I also have pictures of the outside of the bible. It is covered in a homemade brown corduroy cover. The bible is very fragile and crumbly. I do not handle it anymore since taking the pictures. I did go thru it page by page hoping to find some hand written notes or anything of interest but there is nothing else in it. Let me know if you get the pictures ok. .Debbie

Another Veteran Gone

Amos Walton, of Penn township, Madison county, Iowa, passed away in peace Jan. 22, 1887, after a lingering illness of five months. His disease was Catarrh and Bronchial trouble. In all his sufferings not a murmur or complaint was uttered. He trusted in Christ, the living God, and was perfectly resigned to his will, praising his Saviour on his death-bed.

Amos Walton enlisted in Co. B 7th Regiment, Indiana Vol. on the 13th of Aug. 1861 and was discharged from the U. S. service in 1864 having served 3 years. Thus the old Veterans, one by one answer at the last roll call. He was buried at Fairview church cemetery with military honors conducted by the De Soto Post. Funeral discourse by Rev. Payton, of De Soto, Iowa.

He leaves a widow and seven children to mourn the loss of a kind and affectionate husband and father. May God sustain and comfort those that weep and mourn and may they consecrate their lives to His service.
