I have a branch of my family from the Kinmundy area. I'll pay closer attention to see if any of them were railroad workers.
Despite the middle name inconsistency, which is not uncommon, it is obvious these are the same person.
Methodist ministers traveled quite a bit, and Kinmundy was a railroad town during the railroad boom of the 1880s. The railroads throughout Missouri and Kansas were brand new at that time, and quite attractive to people with the traveling spirit. Several of the early Kinmundy Masonic members traveled to Missouri and other locations during the 1880s and 1890s. They still had the pioneer spirit and sought to establish Masonic lodges and churches throughout the West.
Based on this marriage record: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:KF2B-298
Middleton married a second time to Eliza J. Burpo in 1886 in Kinmundy, Marion County, Illinois.
If you look at the image of the marriage record, it shows that his residence is in Missouri, which is where he is buried.
Does this look like a match to you??
