Our Father
(Posted by Linda Trumblee)
Rev. William Kaylor, minister, farmer and mechanic, was born in Virginia, in 1812, the son of John and Sarah (Calvert) Kaylor, the former of German origin, born October 9, 1778, while his parents were en route to this country. He was left an orphan in infancy, and was educated in Little York, Penn. He also served as an apprentice to a gunsmith there, and afterward went to Harpers Ferry, Va., where he worked, and became inspector of the armory. In February, 1803, he was married at Little Washington, Va. In 1835 he left there, and came to Shelby County, Mo., where he entered several acres of land, and settled permanently. He served as justice for several years, and died at the age of eighty-seven. He became a Baptist preacher in 1840, and exhorted more or less until his death. The mother was born in Virginia, in 1786, and died about the age of sixty years. Her father, John Calvert, was a direct descendant of Lord Baltimore, the founder of Maryland. Both parents were Baptists from their youth. Our subject was fairly educated, and came to this State with his father, and helped lay out the town of Newark, whose first building he erected. He learned the carpenter trade, and followed it for many years. His wife, Emmeline G., to whom he was married in 1836, is the daughter of Samuel and Delita (Griffith) Manning, and a native of Baltimore County, Md. She was born January 8, 1818, and distinctly remembers the first train that entered Baltimore, and which was run by her uncle William. Her family were early pioneers of Newark. Her children are Maggie, widow of John Fresh; Cecilious C.; Stephen G.; James B.; William F.; Mattie, the wife of W. Allen, of Newark; and Lulu. Since 1860 he has been on his present estate of 190 acres, which is well improved, and was bought when he was not able to pay down a dollar, but he has succeeded finely. He was an earnest Unionist, and furnished three sons, who served in the Federal Army. His eldest son, Wesley M., died in the Union service, at Pilot Knob, Mo., in 1863. Mr. Kaylor was a Jackson Democrat, but since the war has been a Republican. For fifty years he has been an active Methodist, and for twenty years has been a minister of that church. He assisted in organizing the first Sunday-school, in Newark, and was the superintendent. His wife was converted at the age of fifteen, at a meeting near Baltimore. Their children are also members of the same church. The fiftieth anniversary of their wedding occurred October 13, 1886, and was attended by four generations.

The remains of Mr. Wm. Kaylor, of LaBelle, were brought to the cemetery last Thursday and placed beside his wife who was buried here five years ago. Mr. Kaylor spent most of his life near this place and was well liked by all. He has been a faithful worker in the Methodist church the greater part of his life; he leaves a large family of children and many relatives to mourn his loss, but they rejoice to know that he has joined his Creator and is free from all suffering. Rev. Davenport will preach the memorial sermon of Mr. Kaylor at the Methodist church next Sunday, Oct. 3. at p. m.

In Memory of Rev. William Kaylor.
Rev. William Kaylor, minister, farmer and mechanic was born July 21, 1812; died September 22, 1897, aged 83 years, two months and one day. Father Kaylor was a descendant of Lord Baltimore the founder of Maryland, whose life and fortune have had a material influence upon the American Republic. He was married in 1836 to Miss Emeline B. Manning. To this union were born Mrs. Maggie Minor, Mrs. Wm. Allen, Stephen G., Wesley M., James B., Cecileon and William F. of Newark, Mo., and Miss Lula of our city, all of whom are living save Cecileon C. and Wesley M. Father Kaylor lived and died in the Christian faith. He came from the Methodist Episcopal church, south in 1863 to the Methodist Episcopal church (sentence as [sic]). In 1868 he was licensed as an exhorter, and in 1870 as a local preacher. He was always true to his faith in Christ and his obligations to his church. The spirit of his Master manifested itself at all times. He was a kind father, a good neighbor and a worthy citizen. He had no ememies. Everybody saw virtue, industry and honesty in his life and could not but admire his character. May the sympathetic Christ, whose footprints are to be seen in "the valley of death," dry the tear stained cheek of the surviving family. Peace to his memory.
