Entered into Rest.
Joseph Bartlett was born in Lawrenceburg, Lawrence County, Kentucky, on March 15, 1836. He was the son of Hanes Bartlett who went to Kentucky from the New England States in an early day. His grandfather, Josiah Bartlett signed the Declaration of Independence in 1776, hence he was a flag-honoring, liberty Loving citizen. His father died leaving him at seven years of age to the care of his mother and older brother who moved the family soon after the father's death to Indiana, where he grew to manhood.
February 11, 1855, he was united in marriage to Miss Martha Hanks. Two weeks later they came around on the river to Warsaw and settled on the western part of St. Marys Prairie. Since then he has lived among the people of Hancock and McDonough counties.
To these parents were born eight children, three boys and five girls, one boy and one girl died in infancy. Two sons when leaving the parental roof went into the western states. The four daughters whom God had spared to be with their parents in their old age, and his aged wife were by his bedside when God called him to pass over to join the innumerable hosts of the redeemed. Though he labored hard to support his family he had been in poor health for more than forty years.
Twenty-two years ago they moved from St. Marys to the place owned by his son-in-law, Adolphus Cain, where they resided until last June, when they were moved to the home of their youngest daughter Carrie Weaver, both father and mother being unable to longer care for each other, and at 2:45 o'clock Monday morning, August 21, 1911, father quietly passed away.
He was baptized and united with the St. Mary's Baptist church under the preaching of J. F. Foley, on December 8, 1881, and remained a member and constant attendant of the church until moving west of Plymouth, it seemed inconvenient to attend church there, so upon receiving a letter of recommendation from the church at St. Mary's, September 5, 1890, took membership with the Union Baptists then meeting for worship at the West Union Baptist church. A few years later this church disbanded and since that time he attended church at different places, principally at the Christian church at Plymouth, although not identifying himself with any, still loved the people of God, and loved to meet for worship with any people.
Father lived in fear of the Lord a consistent Christian life, often expressing a desire to depart and be with Christ which, like Paul, he deemed far better than to abide in the flesh.
The motto which he tried to impress upon the minds of his children was this: " If you can't say some good of anyone, don't say anything," which is in perfect harmony with the Word of God which says, " Speak evil of no man ". Being therefore a man of God, he has left to his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren the richest heritage that can be left -- the example of a Christian life and character.
Funeral services were held Wednesday, August 23, at 10:00 A.M., at the Christian church in Plymouth, conducted by Rev. J. F. Foley
Husband of Martha Jane Hanks. They had 6 children.
