Olivia Deane (Preshy) Sartwelle Barton (1926 - 1982)
The following was written by the daughter of Preshy Sartwelle Barton as an editor's note to the book, "The Sartwelle's in America 1635 - 1981":
Olivia Deane (Preshy) Sartwelle Barton was a very blessed woman for
she knew and understood the key to happiness in life - LOVE - love of
God, love of her family and love of all mankind.
This book will hopefully be a lasting memorial to my mother's goodness
and everlasting love of family and its heritage.
On September 25, 1981, in the midst of compiling this book, she was
diagnosed as having incurable lung cancer. She immediately prayed to God
that He would allow her enough time to finish the compilation of the
book and in His infinite mercy He granted her prayers. My only regret is
that she did not live long enough to see the printed copy.
Preshy Sartwelle Barton died August 18, 1982 in Del Rio, Texas. Her
funeral services were held at St. James Episcopal Church in Del Rio
where she was baptized, confirmed and married. She is buried in the
Masonic Cemetery next to her father.
"To live in the hearts of those we leave behind is not to die."
Dorothy Barton Sanders - 1982
