copies of a tombstone inscription booklet that I had prepared (1978-1981) for
rural St. Francois County cemeteries on farms where my ancestors had lived and

Special Dispatch to the Globe Democrat
Moberly, Mo. August 6 - Elder William Featherstone, aged 77 years, died at his
home on West Rollins Street in this city at 12:20 Saturday morning. Mr.
Featherstone was born in Jessamond County, Ky., February 24, 1833. With his
parents he moved to Monroe County, this state, in 1841. On May 20, 1858 he
was married to Miss Ragsdale of near Madison, Mo., who died just two months
ago today. Surviving him are one brother, Martin Featherstone, aged 92 years,
of this city; a half brother, Silace Featherstone; two half-sisters, Mrs.
Sarah Woods of Madison, Mo. and Mrs. Lucy Wisman of Trenton, Mo. For the past
fifteen years Mr. Featherstone had made Moberly his home.
Elder Featherstone was ordained a minister of the Church of the Disciples
of Christ (now known as the Christian Church) at Antioch Church near Moberly,
in 1851. He was one of the best known ministers of his faith in Missouri. He
was always dignified, but ever had a kind word for all persons he met on all
occasions. He was educated in the common schools, and was successful in his
chosen profession.
Last winter Elder Featherstone suffered a stroke of paralysis, followed
in a few weeks by another attack, and for the past eight months had been
practically an invalid. Realizing that his end was near, on Tuesday last he
asked to be taken to the monument works in this city, that he might select a
monument to be erected at the grave of his wife in Oakland Cemetery. He
ordered a monument to cost $300. cont.
The funeral will be held from the Central Christian Church Monday at 2:30
p.m. conducted by Elders Lampton of Madison and W.T. Henson of Moberly.
(Note attached to this obit.: There are some errors in the above account, one
in the age and others in spelling of names. Also, date ordained was 1859. He
would have been only 18 in 1851. Two other articles give 1859.)

6.
