The funeral of D. C. Moultrop was held yesterday afternoon from the Baptist church, Rev. Richards officiating. Mr. Moultrop was an old and highly respected citizen of the county spending the past seven or eight years on his farm just west of town. Some time ago he became mentally deranged and since that time has required constant care. Death relieves him from suffering, but does not lighten that of the family, and in their bereavement they have the sympathy of many friends and acquaintances.

David C. Moultrop was born near Saxton’s River, Vermont Sept. 7, 1841. Here he spent his early life and when the call came for volunteers enlisted in Co. I 12th Vermont, serving nine months. Later he spent some years in Henry county, Illinois and afterwards came to Unionville, Mo. where on Nov. 23, 1879 was united in marriage to Cindrella Smith. In 1883 he came to Washington county where he has since resided. For the past five years Mr. Moultrop has been ailing with rheumatism and kidney trouble, but was able to look after business until one year ago when he suffered a paralytic stroke which rendered his left side almost entirely useless and for the great part of the time since has confined him to his bed. Medical aid seemed of no avail and relief came only in death at 7 o’c;lock Jan. 31. Services were conducted by Rev. Richards in the Baptist church and the remains laid peacefully to rest in the Blair cemetery Feb. 1st. He leaves one sister and one brother, both of Westminster, Vermont, besides a wife, two sons and one daughter to mourn the loss of a kind, loving husband and father. Mr. Moultrop was an honest, upright and peace loving citizen, and well merited the respect and esteem in which he was held by his many friends.
