William H. Hyde is the son of Stephen A. and Rebecca (Eggleston) Hyde. The family moved west from Ohio, stopping briefly in Van Buren and Lee counties in Iowa. About 1854 they relocated to Scotland County, Missouri, where they remained. As an original settler, his father Stephen had accumulated several hundred acres of land, so it is said he gave each of his children 100 acres. On March 21, 1861, he married Phoebe Edwards, daughter of D. B. and Sarah Edwards. Not long after their marriage he joined the effort to protect the Union and enlisted in the 21st Missouri Regiment where he served five years, including participating in Sherman's march to the sea. His unit remained on duty after the end of the war, so he was not mustered out until 1866. He and Phoebe had seven children. Phoebe died during the birth of their youngest son, Reuben Fletcher Hyde, in March 1876. In September 1876, William married Mrs. Mary (Bean) Curtis, daughter of Aaron Busby and Phoebe Bean of Licking County, Ohio. She had two children from her first marriage. William played an important role in the founding of the Brock church and the logs for the beams were cut from his land. William donated the land for the Brock Cemetery and his brother David donated the land for the Brock school house. At one time, the area was referred to as "Hydestown".

William H. Hyde, the son of Stephen and Rebecca Hyde, was born in Athens County, Ohio, March 10, 1837. Departed this life November 10, 1921, aged 84 years and 8 months. In 1854 he with his parents moved to Iowa and in a few months moved to Scotland County, Missouri, locating north of Memphis, where for sixty years he lived and labored to make Scotland County and Northeast Missouri a better place to live. A loyal citizen, he was ever to be found in front ranks standing four square for righteousness. Early in life at the age of nineteen he professed faith in Christ and consecrated his life to Him who said, "All Souls are Mine". Joined the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1856 in which he labored zealously. Was one of the founders of the M. E. Church at Brock, Missouri. Later transferred his membership to the Methodist Protestant Church at Bethel and remained true and faithful until the summons to come home. In 1861 when our country was torn asunder by internal strife, he bid the bride of a few months goodbye and volunteered in the defense of the Union, enlisting in Co. I, 21st Missouri Regiment, serving from 1861 to 1866. Was with Sherman in his march to the sea; was mustered out of the service in 1866 his command having been held in the south for a considerable time after the closing of the war. After receiving his honorable discharge, he returned to Scotland County and the wife and the home he had so nobly defended. On March 24, 1861, he was united in marriage to Miss Phoebe Edwards. To this union were born seven children, all of whom are living. March 25, 1878, the wife and mother passed over the Jordan of death into the home of the soul, there to await the coming of their loved ones. In September 1876, he was married to Mrs. Mary Curtis, who preceded him in death. Brother Hyde had been afflicted for several months but bore his sufferings patiently, never complaining of afflictions hand being heavy. It was the priviledge of the writer to visit him in the old home and worship with him at the family altar, erected by him in his early life, where his companion and children had so often worshiped with him. He lived on his farm where he had lived and raised his children until last August when he went to his daughter's home, Mrs. Rudy, where he stayed until recently, when he went to his son Rueben's home where his father located when he first came to Scotland County in 1856. There, midst the scenes of boyhood days, where his father and mother, brothers and sisters lived in happiness and love, the long and useful life came to an end. Two sisters and one brother preceded him in death. He leaves to mourn their loss, six sons and one daughter, William Hyde, of Cantril, Iowa; Mrs. Rudy, Walter, Horace and Rueben of Memphis; Edgar of Milton, Iowa; Dr. Frank Hyde of Eminence, Missouri; two step-sons, Dr. J. A. Curtis of Memphis, and Dr. H. B. Curtis of Kansas City, Missouri; three brothers, David E. of Ft. Madison, Iowa; Jasper of Monticello, Missouri; and Daniel of Bowen, Illinois; twenty six grandchildren and five great grandchildren, together with a host of other relatives and friends.
