BOLEN CRIDDLE DEAD
W.B. Criddle died of pneumonia at the home of his son Evan near Gale, Ill. last Sunday.
The remains were brought here Monday and buried in the city cemetery.
Services were held in the Baptist church where the deceased held his membership.
The death of Bolen Criddle removed from our midst one of the best known citizens of our county, and a member of one of the oldest and best pioneer families Mr. Criddle leaves several grown sons and daughters and a host of friends who regret to learn of his death.
Bolen Criddle was an ex-Confederate soldier and fought all through the war in General Price's army until the ending of the disastrous raid through Missouri, when with many others he was taken prisoner in the Indian Territory. This ended Mr. Criddle's service as a Confederate soldier. Perhaps no soldier in the civil war did more effective service than Bolen Criddle in the work of dealing out terrible execution to the enemy in battle. He was an accurate marksman and schooled in the use of firearms, and his business was as a gunner in a battery, in which service he is said to have handled his gun with such accuracy as to work terrible execution with grape and shrapnel in many engagements. The war over, he came home and followed the avocation of farming on the home place a couple of miles west of Jackson, MO until his wife died a few years ago, when not very long afterwards, he broke up housekeeping and made his home with his married children.
