Barton, Hubbard Alonzo

journalist, poet, was born May 12, 1842, in Croydon, N. H. This well-known New Hampshire editor was educated in the schools of his native town and by private instruction, and for many years was superintendent of schools. Early developing a literary taste he contributed much, both in prose and verse, to the public press. In 1879 he became the editor and senior proprietor of the New Hampshire Argus and Spectator, a wellknown democratic newspaper published at Newport, N. H., which was established in 1823, by his great uncle, the Hon. Cyrus Barton; and for the past twenty years he has been continuously connected with that publication.
