(Death cert.) (Co. F 15th Ky. Inf.) Union
Mr. John Middleton, age eighty-eight years, died at the home of his daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. T.B. Hazel, last Friday, after having been confined to his bed for about ten days with cancer of the liver.
He is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Hazel, Mrs. Logan Hawkins, and Mrs. Robert Bolton, and two sons, Messrs. Frank Middleton, Louisville, and Will Henry Middleton of this place.
His wife, Mrs. Mary Smith Middleton, and a daughter, Mrs. Samuel Howard, had preceded him in death several years.
Mr. Middleton was a member of Co. F, 15th Kentucky Regiment of the Union Army, in the War between the States. He was a member of one of Central Kentucky's most prominent pioneer families; a prosperous farmer, and a highly esteemed citizen.
Funeral services were held at the Barren Run Baptist Church, of which he had long been a member, by Rev. R.A. Taylor, at 10 o'clock a.m., Sunday in the presence of what was estimated a thousand persons, who had assembled to pay tribute to the remains within the casket covered with the flag that was so loved by one of Spartan courage, who would not even yield to the disease that ravaged his body for many months, until the few brief days before the final summons came.
Interment was in Barren Run cemetery.
