Rosenberg Herald, October 18, 1940:
In the death of Judge E. E. Kastrop Friday morning, Sealy lost one of the oldest citizens in point of residence and her Justice of the Peace for a period of 20 years. A familiar figure around about town for more than a quarter of a century, perhaps no man has more friends nor held the deepest respect of more citizens. He was widely known throughout this section and could call more old timers by their first names than any other citizen perhaps. He was a fine character of the fast passing type.
Judge Kastrop suffered a stroke of paralysis on Sept. 8, and was never able to leave his bed afterwards. He had been impaired in health more than a year, suffering from a bad heart. The end came Friday morning.
Funeral services were held at the family home Saturday morning, Rev. E. C. Schmidt conducting the services. Interment followed in the Sealy Cemetery. Pallbearers were Walter Reinke, Abe Levine, Paul Hackbarth, Carl Schaer, Joe Pyka, Sr., and Herman Meloneck.
A large cortege of friends and relatives from here and from a distance attended the last rites and a wealth of beautiful flowers blanketed the grave.
Born at Columbus July 24, 1865, Judge Kastrop was 75 years, 2 months, and 9 days old. When six months old, he moved with his parents to Bellville and lived there until 1992 when he moved with his family to Sealy. He had been here ever since, living, as he said, in the same house for thirty-eight years. A painter by trade, his work still stands in many parts of the county. He served this precinct as Justice of the Peace since 1920, twenty years, and was respected for his fair and impartial judgment.
Survivors are his widow, one daughter, and five sons. The daugher, Miss Olga Kastrop, of Clearmont, Florida, was unable to be here for the funeral services. The sons are Eddie, Herbert, and John of Houston, Henry of Rosenberg, and Bert of San Antonio; one sister, Mrs. Frank Marek of Austin. There are six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
Friends in Rosenberg were grieved to learn of Judge Kastop's death. He was well known in Rosenberg where he often visited his son, Henry, and family. The Herald joins a host of friends in extending sympathy to the bereaved family.
