Ward Eldred married Charlotte Newlan in Christian Co., IL, Aug. 27, 1869, where they were enumerated in the 1870 census before arriving in Liberty Twp., Coffey Co., KS, about 1872.

They had eight children, but the names of only five children are known.

Brief excerpts from his death notices and obituary in the Burlington newspapers: Ward Eldred died at his home immediately after eating his supper, falling over dead in his chair. He had been in his usual health up to that time and his death was without warning. It was later determined that he died of heart disease when with a cry he placed his hands to his heart and fell to the floor dead.

From a published transcription of Fairhope Cemetery:
Charlotte Eldred, d. 11-7-1910, aged 62y 9m 14d [b. Jan. 24, 1848]
Ward Eldred, d. 10-31-1908, aged 70y 4m 20d [b. June 11, 1838]
(Epitaph) "No pains, no grief, no anxious fears, Can reach our loved ones sleeping here."
Winnie Eldred, d. 3-19-1874, aged 1y 1m 8d [b. Feb. 11, 1873]
