Melton died at his home in the south part of this county Friday, March 4, 1898, of consumption, after an illness of several months.He was born April 12, 1840, in Burke county, North Carolina. He was in the Confederate service. Not being a rebel, he left them in 1862 and after many trials and narrow escape from losing his life, he reached the Union lines and reached this county without money and almost no clothes. By industry and frugality he laid by sufficient money to buy 80 acres of land. This farm he sold and removed to Nodaway county, Missouri, where he purchased a farm and lived for a few years. He afterwards removed back to this county, purchasing the farm where he resided until his death. He was married to Emma Bush in 1866. To them were born five girls and one boy, all living. He was baptized in Blue River by Elder Enos Turner some years ago and held to this faith until death. Howard township has lost a good citizen, the wife a noble husband, and the children a kind father. The funeral was conducted by Elder Enos Turner at Big Springs church, after which the remains were laid to rest in the church-yard. William C. Melton was 58 years old.
