FIRST CENSUS OF BARTON COUNTY 1872

Pages 30-35

The names included in this list are those of people who resided in this county in the spring of 1872. The work of securing this information was done by D. N. Heizer who now resides at Colorado Springs, Colorado. It was compulsory to get these names before the county could be organized. The following gives the name, age, and a description of the land owned by each individual settler. Some of the names in this list are of people who have long since left this part of the county, but will be remembered by those who were here when the county was organized:
