Don was born on January 26,
1932, in Russell County, Kansas, the son of Henry Carl, Jr. and Grace (Matheson)
Barth. Donald grew up in Paradise, Kansas, and graduated from Paradise High
School in the class of 1950. He was united in marriage to Jolene A. Pfortmiller
in November 1950 in Natoma. From this union they were 
blessed with two sons Marty and Mick. Years later Jolene and Donald
were divorced. Don spent a few years in Grand Island, Nebraska and Rexford,
Kansas, but spent most of his life in the Russell County and Natoma. Don was a
jack of all trades but his passion and career was farming and ranching. He
enjoyed hunting coyotes, raising greyhounds, riding horses and going to rodeos.
He also enjoyed and spent many of his years working and competing in rodeos as a
steer wrestler, calf roping, team 
roping with his two sons and helping as a rodeo clown. In his later
years he also worked at the rodeo as a pick up man helping get cowboys to
safety. Most of all he enjoyed spending time with his family and spending
countless hours riding his horses.
