CGB-EBB-H. Col. Ralph Robinson Maltby, b. Apr. 19, 1830 (Tim.6, Tim.5, Sam.4, Sam.3, Sam.2, Wm.1). m. May 27, 1855, Mary Letitia Goggin, at Washington, Kentucky. She d. June 13, 1893.

Col. Maltby was in the Union Army which he entered in Oct. 1861, at Washington, Mason Co., Ky. He enlisted for "three years or for the war," under Col. Charles A. Marshall. He had the rank of Adjutant but virtually he performed the duties of Colonel himself. After a year of service he raised a regiment of Cavalry--the 10th Volunteer Regt. of Kentucky Cavalry. He advertised for volunteers the 20th of August, 1862, and 800 men responded the very next day.

He was a member of the Maltby Association. He was an "Officer and a gentleman" throughout his life. No words seem adequate to draw a picture of this kindly, genial, noble gentleman. He d. Jan. 16, 1920, at his home near Washington, Kentucky.

   Obituary.
            "Colonel of Old Tenth Kentucky
               Died This Morning."
	"Col. R.R.Maltby, Organizer of the Famous Old 10th Kentucky in
	 Civil War, Dies at early Hour This Morning--Funeral Sunday."

"Colonel R.R.Maltby, one of the last of the Commanding Officers of the Union Army, died at his beautiful country home near Washington this morning at 5 o'clock, in his 90th year after a serious illness of only a short time.

The death of this great character will shed a deep gloom over hundreds of homes throughout North Eastern Kentucky and Southern Ohio, for scattered throughout this territory there are hundreds of homes where the name of Colonel Maltby was revered because fathers and grandfathers in those homes had served in his command during the war between the States. He was President of the 10th Kentucky Cavalry and Sixteenth Kentucky Infantry Association which held its annual re-unions at Beech wood Park this city and at those annual gatherings the love of the few remaining veterans for their old commander as displayed was beautiful. These annual gatherings in the future will lack much of their attractiveness because of the absence of the old Colonel.
