Thomas L. Branstetter was born in Pike County, Missouri October 28, 1833. His death came suddenly without a moment's warning December 30, 1924. At the time of his death he was 91 years, 2 months and 2 days old.
He was married to Eliza Mary Wingate July 31, 1881. To this union were born seven children - four boys, Alfred of Branson, Colo., Allen of Akron, Colo., Harrison of Prescott, Kan. and Joseph, deceased, and three girls, Mrs. Addie Tinlsey, of Moran, Kan., Mrs. Martha McCausland, of Rosa, Okla., and Mrs. Malissa Willhight, deceased. His companion departed this life March 24, 1904.
Besides his children, he leaves one brother, Joseph, of Rockville, MO and other relatives and friends to mourn his death. Mr. Branstetter was a Union soldier and made a good record as explained below:
"Thomas L. Branstetter, Prescott, Kan., was one of six brothers in the 9th Mo. Cav. in the Civil War. He also had a brother to go with Sherman in the great march to the sea making seven brothers in all. In addition to the brothers, there were ten cousins of his enlisted at the same time - eight of them in the 9th Mo. Cav. Of these 17 soldiers, Comrade Branstatter is the only one living and he is 91. The 9th Mo. Cav. was raised from Bowen's Battn. in the fall of 1861. On December 4, 1862 it was consolidated with the 10th Mo. Cav., and soon after went to the south, where it saw much service in Mississippi and Alabama. It was with Wilson, in the latter part of the war in his great raid. It was mustered out on June 26 and Sep 19 1865"
After an honorable discharge he took upon himself the vows of the Methodist church, of which he was a member at the time of his death, having united with the Mantey class some time before his departure.
The body was borne to the Mantey church by six men of his acquaintance where an appropriate service was held, attended by a large number of his relatives and friends. The pastor, Rev. Elvin Lee, delivered the address from the text, "A Time To Die".
His body was laid to rest in the Mapleton cemetery to wait the trumpet call to judgement.
