Blockton News, Thursday, June 17, 1920, p. 5 Passing of Pioneer and Veteran The following is taken from the Lineville Tribune, the deceased being the father of our townsman,D. T. Waldrip, who was at the bedside when his father passed away. The late Mr.Waldrip visited at the home of his son here at different times and was well known by a number:B. T. Waldrip, a resident of this place for more than 40 years and a veteran of the Civil War, died at his home on West Hill on last Friday, May 28, 1920, aged 73 years, 2 months and 6 days. While the deceased has been in failing health for the past several years his condition did not become alarming until a few weeks ago when he was prostrated by a stroke of paralysis from which attack he never rallied. The deceased had the great privilege of having lived more than half a century in this community and his death is as though a land mark had been removed for his life has been ineradicably woven in to the life and history of the neighborhood and in his active life had a great part in its growth and up building. He came to the neighborhood southwest of Lineville from Pleasanton, Iowa, shortly after the close of the Civil War, as a young man just married, where he lived until 1880 when he moved with his family to this place where he resided until the time of his death. He was the type of patriotic citizenship that influenced for good wherever met, in the home, as a neighbor, friend or in the busy marts of business circles and his death will be mourned by a large circle of friends. Byron T. Waldrip was born in Schuyler County, Mo., Feb. 22, 1847. Being the son of a Methodist minister his early years of necessity followed the itinerancy of his father's calling, which led them to sojourn for short intervals in various places in Iowa, Missouri,Illinois and Nebraska. At the breaking out of the Civil War they were living at Pleasanton, Iowa, and when but fifteen years of age, he responded to his country's call, enlisting in the 3rd Missouri Cavalry and was assigned to Grant's Army of the West, Col. Phillip's Division. When the 3rd became depleted he was reassigned to the 7th Missouri taking part in the engagements at Springfield, New Tonia and Marshall. On the expiration of his term he reenlisted in the 13th Missouri Cavalry under Capt. Ballew and was sent west to guard the Colorado Frontier where he remained for some months after peace was made,serving in all four years and five months. The comrades of those days have always held a warm place his affections and his chiefest interest aside from his family has been his association with the comrades in the Grand Army of the Republic. It seems but fitting that his tired body should be laid to rest on Decoration Day, which has meant so much to him throughout the years. He was married to Alice Matthews on Nov. 25, 1866. To this union four children were born: Fleta Waldrip Bonafield, of Allerton; Belle Waldrip Lunt, of Des Moines; Dorwin T. Waldrip, of Blockton, and Beatrice Waldrip Hulen of Chicago, all of whom together with the wife survive him. Seldom has it been given a family to remain unbroken for more than fifty years as this one has. He is also survived by one sister, Mrs. Martha Neighbor, of Cameron, Mo. Funeral services were held at the home on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, conducted by Rev. G. W. Hall,pastor of the M. E. church and was attended by a large number of relatives,neighbors and friends, including quite a number of the deceased's comrades of the G. A. R. and large representation of the Odd Fellows lodge of this place, both organizations of which he has been a member for a great many years. Members of the latter order acted as pallbearers and escort of the funeral procession to Evergreen cemetery where the remains were laid to rest at conclusion of the services at the home.
