100 Years Ago… August, 19 1921
Written by Sarah Barton Elliott Today I want to note a special occasion: It is Bob and Muriel Barton’s 100th wedding anniversary. One hundred years ago today, on Friday, August 19, 1921, in Mineral King, Robert Hardin Barton (1899-1977) and Muriel May (1903-1990) said “I do” during a small outdoor ceremony at Bob’s parents’ cabin. One hundred years ago! In reflecting on this, I realize that in the summer of 1921, the world’s citizenry was recovering from a global pandemic. So just like in Mineral King, while so much has changed, there is still so much that is the same.
