She and her husband served many years as Evangelists, Missionaries and Pastors in Sri Lanka (Ceylon), Fiji Islands, the Philippines, as well as in various parts of the USA. She always maintained a strong passion for God's Kingdom and things spiritual' She was born in 1928 in Bentley, Louisiana, to David Madison Barton and Grace Angeline Thompson Barton. She is survived by one brother, Dexter Barton, and one step-brother, Phillip Turner. Oneida loved the beauties of nature such as birds, animals, flowers, trees, mountains, lakes and the seashore, which she enjoyed on her daily walks while she lived. Her husband, Ralph, and Oneida lived in retirement in Davenport, Nebraska, for the past five years.
