Winfield Courier, Thursday, August 14, 1873.
J. A. Myton has taken his departure for his home in Illinois, after spending a week visiting old friends in our city. Mr. Myton has been recuperating his health in the mountains of Colorado, for some time, and speaks highly of that climate for all forms of long diseases. We were glad to see him, and sorry to part with him. Everybody doing business in Winfield for the last two years, will remember J. A. Myton, of the firm of Myton & Brotherton, as one of the best businessmen Winfield ever had. It was his energy, honesty, and integrity that made the “old log store” famous. His cordial greeting, his ever cheerful salutation, coupled with implicit honesty made people love to trade with him. He takes with him to his home the best wishes of his many friends about Winfield.
