Ref. Routt County Courier, May 2,1907 Military. .Civil War..Union Army, 39th regiment of Missouri volunteers. We regret to chronicle this week the passing of another of the brave boys who fought for the Union in the '60's. Last Monday, April 29th, Willard P. Stockton died from a stroke of paralysis at his home of Little Bear creek. Dr. Nichols was in attendance but was powerless considering the affliction and age of the patient. Mr. Stockton was born in Macon county, Missouri August 17,1846. During the latter part of the Civil War he served in the Union Army, the 39th regiment of Missouri volunteers. He was honorably discharged on July 19,1865. In 1869 he was married to Miss Katherine Thomas, who survives him. The funeral took place at the Congregational church in Craig, yesterday afternoon, the G.A.R. service being used. To the bereaved wife and children the sincere condolence of their many friends and neighbors is extended.

Added by Farm Girl from MO:

Willard Parker Stockton married Catherine Ellen Thomas and they had eleven children: Virginia, William Berry, S. Willard, Asa Council, Dahlia Celina, Emily Ellen, Fredonia Irene, Oliver Island, Martha Marilda, Nancy Elizabeth and Cynthia Stockton.
