| The Kentucky death index lists Eddie Baldridge, age 46, died 31 Dec 1938 in Rowan Co., residence Clearfield, certificate Vol. 64, #31717. There was a front page article in the Rowan County News of Thursday, Jan. 5, 1939 about his death: "Turner Charged With Murder of Eddie Baldridge -- Three Men Hit By Bullets in Affray At County Roadhouse -- John Turner of Morehead was formally charged in county court yesterday with the murder New Years of Eddie Baldridge, 46, at a roadhouse near Morehead on US highway 60. Officers said they believed the shooting was the result of an old grudge. Baldridge was hit four times, once in the hand and three times in the chest. He lived only a few minutes. Oda Kegley of Eadston, a bystander in the crowded roadhouse, was hit in the leg while Turner suffered two wounds, in the hand and shoulder. Neither Kegley nor Turner were seriously injured. Turner was arrested by deputy sheriff Willis Bailey, operator of the roadhouse. He was not formally charged with the murder until this week. Funeral services for Baldridge were held Monday at the Church of God, Clearfield. The rites were conducted by Rev. T. F. Lyons and the arrangements handled by the Lane Funeral Home. Baldridge, who had been a resident of this county all his life, lived at Clearfield and was formerly employed at the Lee Clay Products Company. He was a veteran of the World War and the rites at the Baldridge Family cemetery where he was buried were conducted by the Corbie Ellington American Legion Post of Morehead. A volley of shots were fired across the grave. Surviving Baldridge are his wife and four children." | ||||||||||||
