Obituary:
MILTON ROSS BURTON
May 15, 1915-Oct. 30, 2005
Milton R. Burton, 90, of Chino Valley, AZ, formerly of Mitchell, died Sunday at Kachina Point Health Care in Sedona, AZ.
Born May 15, 1915 in Orange County, he was the son of Samuel O. and Lena A. (Burton) Burton. He had been a resident of Arizona for many years, and was a retired barber.
While living in the Mitchell area, he opened the first riding stable at Spring Mill Park in 1946. He was a sportsman and had been a hunting guide in Colorado.
He was a U. S. Army veteran, and served in France and Germany during World War II. He was awarded the Bronze Star, Purple Heart, and Good Conduct Medal. An account of his war experiences appears in the book, SOUVENIRS III, by L. Joyce Mundy.
Milton married Shirley Graves in 1962, and she survives. Other survivors include one daughter, Anna Louise Burley of Chino Valley, AZ; two grandchildren, Connie Louise Hoover and Dale Ross DeWitt of Chicago, IL; two great grandchildren, Alexis and Ashton Hoover of Chicago, IL; one brother, Nelson E. Burton of New Concord, KY; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins; many of them residing in the Mitchell area.
He was preceded in death by his parents, two sisters, Christine Mundy and Edna Ruth Jaynes; and two brothers, Philip W. and Morris Burton.
He was a faithful member of First Southern Baptist Church of Chino Valley. He was also a member of the Gideons, and participated in their prison ministries.
A memorial service will be held in the church later this week, with burial in Chino Valley. Arrangements are under the direction of Chino Valley Funeral Home.
