Naylor - William - CW
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Friday, 17 August 1900
Dr. Naylor last Monday received an announcement of the death of his brother, Capt. William A. Naylor, of Ripley County, Mo. Capt. Naylor was a son of Charles B. Naylor, a pioneer resident of Crawfordsville, and resided here from 1836 to 1842. When the war broke out he was living in Mississippi and came north with the last delegation to get through. He enlisted for service and served as a captain in the 18th Indiana battery. He was seventy two (22?) years old, and when a resident here worked on the original building of Wabash College, his father being the contractor. He was one of seven sons, only two of whom survive, Dr. Naylor, of this city, and John E. Naylor, of Lafayette. All the sons alive at the time of the wars were in the service, and all served through the war except Dr. Naylor, who was discharged soon after enlistment by reason of his defective hearing. His father at the age of sixty eight was a member of the home guard. - S
