11 Jun 1906, Crittenden Press:
Death of Prominent Citizen
One of the Old Residents of Crittenden Passes Away
Last Sunday [should be 03 Jun 1906 but Crittenden Co. Cemetery Recs say 10 Jun 1906. I wonder whether the Cem Recs book just wrote what was on the stone, or put in dates based on a mis-reading of this obituary. The idea that it is actually the 3rd comes from the next article in which the funeral is referred to as last week monday and the paper is put out on Monday the 11th. I would think that the a paper put out on Monday the 11th would be referring to Monday the 4th as last Monday.] evening at 9 o'clock D.W. Ralston passes away, aged 69 years.
Mr. Ralston, better known as Billy, lived in the Caldwell Springs neighborhood. He was taken with typhoid fever and owing to the severity of the attack and his age he could not survive.
His remains were laid to rest at 4 o'clock Monday afternoon at Caldwell Springs. The funeral service was preached by Rev. W.R. Gibbs. Quite a large gathering was at the services, estimated at from 250 to 300 people.
Uncle Billy Ralston was a consitent christian and had been a member of the Caldwell Springs church for 37 years. He leaves a wife and eight children. His first wife was a Miss Boyd. His second was Mrs. M.J. Greenlea, a sister of Judge James P. Pierce, of this place. The first wife of Judge Pierce was Billy Ralston's sister and so they were double brothers-in-law. Of the eight children of Mr. Ralston there is only one unmarried, Mr. Cash Ralston, of St. Louis, Mo. He is a conductor on a street car [same occupation and city as George Collin Pierce, son of James P. Pierce - one got the other a job?]. Mrs. Carrie Crayne, a daughter, lives in Paducah. The other children live in Crittenden county. Mrs. Ella Shadowen, Joseph Ralston, Charlie Ralston, David Ralston, Edwin Ralston and Ellis Ralston.
11 Jun 1906, Crittenden Press:
Little Records
W.B. Yandell, James P. Pierce, Mrs. Cora P. Crider, Ira T. Pierce and Miriam Pierce attended the funeral of William Ralston, at Caldwell Springs last Monday [should be 04 Jun 1906 - how could you say last Monday and mean 11 Jun when the date of the 11 Jun date of the paper is a Monday?].
