GEORGE BARTRUG.

George Bartrug, from whom Burton should have been named, was born in
what was then known as Croach Back, Pennsylvania, in the year of
1790. He came with his parents to what is now known as Cottontown in
the year of 1806. After living with them but a short time he married
and erected a cabin near the present site of the B. & O. R. R.
station at Burton, and lived there until the year of 1850, when the
railroad company purchased the land. He erected another house on the
land now owned by his son, Moses Bartrug, and the house stood until
lately, when it burned down.
