Read More	He was the son of Benjamin Newton and Caroline Virginia Stalnaker Riddle. The death date Sept. 6, 1878 inscribed on the headstone and entered in the county death record (here and here), conflicts with the date of 1875 given in some previously published cemetery readings. The record also gives William Riddle's age at death as nine years old. Unfortunately, the exact age inscribed on the marker is difficult to read and will need to be rechecked. In his journal for the year 1879, W.H. Brannon writes that he attended a funeral service at Third Run Schoolhouse (no longer present but was located near the cemetery) for Willie Riddle on June 1, 1879. Whether this entry refers to the same Riddle child cannot be confirmed, but it is possible that a memorial was held later, at a time when people were able to gather with a minister to perform the service, as was sometimes the custom in this era and locale.
