Death of John B. Waldron
John B. Waldron died Monday morning at two o'clock, after a most painful sickness of more than a month. The cause was rheumatism of the heart in the most malignant form, accompanied with all the sufferings that would seem probably to a human being. Two weeks ago it was thought that he was on the road to certain recover; he was allowed to get up, he dressed and read the papers, seeming free of all disease. That night he was not feeling so well and from that time on he grew continually worse. John Waldron stood foremost among the young men of Bloomington. He had first of all requirements to occupy such a position – a perfect gentleman; always kind to those whom he knew and with whom he associated, either in society or in his daily vocation.
Less than two weeks ago his sister Emma, much younger, was buried and it is remarkable that both should be taken with the same trouble at the same time, and on the same day both were much better and thought out of danger; both growing worse at the same time, though the little girl ended her sufferings sooner and went on before. To the wife and prattling little boy left behind, and the family that has been so sorely afflicted, words seem a hollow mockery; sympathy seems inadequate to such a sad occasion; no action can alieviate the sorrow that has been laid at their hearts. In all this there is but one consolation and that is that both were kind, honest, true-hearted, undeceitful, and both died having lived the life of a true Christian. Is there more that can be said? In this double sorrow the citizens of Bloomington feel the loss and would offer any token that might relieve the striken households.
The funeral of Mr. Waldron will take place from St. Charles Catholic church to-morrow (Wednesday) morning at 10 o'clock. Father Boergman will have charge, assisted by Fathers Walters, of Lafayette, and Burkhardt, of Washington. Father Bonecum, of St. Louis, a cousin of Mrs. John Waldron, sr., is now in the city, having arrived yester.
John B. Waldron, a native of Indiana, was born in Bloomington, Monroe County, April 2, 1856. He was the eldest son of eleven children born to John and Ann (Bonecum) Waldron. He was reared in Bloomington, where he received a good education in the public schools. When eighteen years of age, he took charge of the books in his father's tannery, where he remained for about seven years, at which time he accepted a position as book-keeper in the First National Bank, retaining it for two years. On March 15, 1883, he formed a partnership with S. C. Dodds and Showers Bros. in the manufacture of chairs, to which, on September 1, 1883, they added the manufacture of center tables. Mr. Waldron was identified with the Catholic church, and was a faithful member and an active worker in its maintenance. He was politically a Republican, and quite influential in his party.
John Waldron was married to Miss Belle Shields, of Seymour, less than two years ago, and to them has been born a boy. Not long since his life was insured for $5,000.

The funeral of John B. Waldron took place from the Catholic church Wednesday morning and was very largely attended by the many friends of the deceased. After the usual Catholic ritual, appropriate remarks were made by Father Walters, of Lafayette, a friend of the family for more than a score of years. The burial was a sad occasion indeed, for only eight days before the same family had been called to the cemetery to law away one of their number. Several beautiful floral offerings were presented by loving friends, one the "Gates Ajar" that was very appropriate.
