    LIFE   HISTORY - Lloyd Lional Barton (Fourth Generation)

    I was born in the home of my grandparents, John Edson and Mary Jane Glines
    King, in Ferron, Emery Co., UT. I was one yaer old when my father moved his
    family to San Juan Co., and grew up in Monticello where I received a high
    school education.

    On June 6, 1929 I married Willamelia Frost in the Salt Lake Temple. I worked at
    many different jobs while providing for my wife and 11 children. I was a
    co-owner of a business consisting of a flour mill, farm machinery, garage, and
    service station. I also had a large dry farm in San Juan County.

    Some of the positions I held in the LDS Church include: offices in all quorums
    of the Aaronic and Melchizedek Priesthood, stake misson 1938-1940, ward and
    stake Sunday School, and as a scoutmaster. I took the first group of scouts
    from our area to a national jamboree at Valley Forge in 1957.

    After our children were grown my wife and I were called as workers in the Mesa
    Temple in 1969. In 1972 we were given a leave of absence to fill a mission to
    the Australia West Mission. After returning home we again took up our labors in
    the Arizona Temple where I have been Assistant to the Presidency, supervisor,
    trainer, and director. We own our modest home close to the temple and enjoy it
    very much. I know of the heartaches and sorrows of this life, and I also know
    of the joys and happiness. I bear testimony to the goodness of the Lord to
    those who do what is asked of them, and thank the Lord for our many blessings.

    WILLAMELIA FROST BARTON (wife)

    Willamelia lived in Salt Lake three winters with her Smith grandparents in
    order to attend high school but came home to Monticello to graduate with its
    first graduating class in May 1929. Shortly after graduation she married Lloyd
    L. Barton.

    During the 14 years' time in which she was bearing 11 children she also held
    many Church positions, including Sunday School teacher, Primary teacher,
    secretary and president; Relief Society teacher and counselor. When the
    children were grown she served in the YWMIA as teacher, counselor and stake
    president. She was always active in P.T.A. and other civic work such as club
    member, 4-H leader, and San Juan co. Civil Defense Chairman. In 1960 she was
    nominated by the Rebus Rota Club to be their candidate for "Mother of the
    Year", and was selected to represent the Southeastern District of the State of
    Utah. Some of the jobs she held are San Juan County Deputy Assessor, office
    manager of ASC office of the USDA in Monticello, and secretary at Redd's
    Chevrolet Co.

    Two of Lloyd and Willie's 11 children died in infancy and two of their young
    sons were killed in separate automobile accidents. Robert was a high school
    senior and was on a basketball trip riding in a car driven by one of his
    teachers. The other son, Stanley, had just finished his junior year in high
    school where he was president of his class. These two accidents were just five
    years apart and they left Lloyd and Willie heartbroken.

    They have four daughters and three sons living who have provided them with 37
    lovely grandchildren and 30 great-grandchildren. Five of their grandchildren
    (at the time the FGS was completed) had served missions for the Church:
    Catherine Lee, Daniel B. Lee, William Courtney Halls, Sanford L. Porter, and
