OBITUARY
The remains of James Belton, who
died in San Diego, Cal., last Monday,
arrved yesterday1, aftornoon acconv
panled by tho daughters Miss Carrie
Bolton nnd Mrs. W. II. McDonald, tho
latter having been summoned nt the
timo her father was stricken.
Funeral services will bo held at the
Presbyterian church this afternoon at
2:30.
For forty years Mr. Belton was
closely Identified with the commer
cial and political life of North Platte
and Lincoln county. Ho was a suc
cessful business man, and In addition
to other Investments still owned tho
buildings occupied by tho Dickey con
fectionery, the Crystal theatre and the
Brodbeck meat market. In politics he
was aggressive and in many cam
paigns, both in county and city he was
tlio storm center. His aim as a citi
zen was to "boost' the good and
"knock" the bad as, he viewed it, but
his views wero not also coincided by
otber3, and hot campaigns followed.
As a man Mr. Bolton was a good
citizen, and during his long residence
in North Platte he gave liberally of his
tlmo and money for tho upbuilding of
tho town and the welfare of its peo
ple. Jamos Belton waj born in Saugor
tles, N. Y., Juno 27, 1831. He was edu
cated In the common schools at San
dusky, Ohio, and spent ono year In
college nt Tiffin, in that state. In
1S40, when fifteen years old, ho went to
Buffalo, N. Y where ho spent an ap
prenticeship of four years, learning
the trade of coppersmith. For the
first year he received $35 and board
and washing, and for the fourth year
$75. After serving his time he wns
able to command $1.50 a day, which
was the highest wages then paid.
Clothing and footwear at that time
was more expensive than now, and It
required the strictest economy to savo
money while workng for wages.
Thcrofore, as a young man, Mr. Bel
ton acquired economical habits and
never became adlcted to tho tobacco
habit and seldom drank liquor. Dur
ing tho Russian war In 1854 ho served
for a tlmo In tho British navy.
In May, 18G9, Mr. Belton came to
North Platto to become foreman of
tho copper work department in the
Union Pacific shops, a position he
held for live years. However, In 1870
he opened a hardware store, and this
business grew to such an extent that
ho quit the service of the company in
1874 and gave his time to the .store. He
continued in the hardware business
until tho tho latter part of tho 80's
when he sold the business to Alex
Stewart and Con Scharmann.
Mr. Belton belonged to a Fremont
club and voted for John C. Fremont
for president in 1S5G. He voted for
Abraham Lincoln in 18G0 and in 18G4
contributed $333.33 to further his re
election. All through life Mr. Belton
took an nctive part in politics and
hold both city and county offices!.
From 1871 to 1876 he was county
cleric of this county, which at that time
extended west to the Wyoming lino.
The territory which it comprised had
not been surveyed and therefore no
real estate taxes wore levied. Tho
Union Pacific company was the big
tax payer and when that company re
sisted the payment of taxes levied on
its personal property on the ground
that it was a government institution,
Lincoln county carried the question
into the court at Fremont, as North
Platto was at that time in the Fre
mont district. The suit resulted in a
compromise and oiw of it grow the
movement for tho organization of the
county. Mr. Belton also served as
county commissioner from 1SS0 to 1889
and lie also held the office of city
mayor.
In November, 1860, Mr. Belton wns
married at New Albany, Ind., to Car
ollne Graham. Two daughters wero
born to them, Miss Caroline, who has
made her homo with her father, and
Mrs. W. H. McDonald of this city.
Mr. Bolton was for .forty years a
member of tho Presbyterian church
and for many years a member of the
Odd Fellows and the Masons.
