Mary E. Thompson
Mary Elizabeth Ratliff, daughter of Rev. James and Mrs. Hannah
Ratliff, was born June 16th,
1869, near Greenville, Tenn., one of a family of ten. She departed this life at
her home in Clearfield on April 18, 1948, at the age of 73 years, 10 months, 2
days.
She married Enos
Thompson, November 27th, 1889.
To this union were born
five children: Roe Ethel, James, Hattie Mabel, Samuel Brainard, and Eva Ruth. Her husband and two sons preceded her in death, James only a year ago.
She came with her family
to Clarinda, Iowa, in the spring of 1903, and in 1911 moved to Bedford, Iowa,
which was her home until 13 years ago, when she moved to Clearfield, Iowa,
where she has made her home since.
At an early age, she
became a Christian, always taking an interest in the affairs of the church and
attending as her health permitted. She held membership in the Bedford Baptist
Church at the time of her death.
Her heritage to her
children was her Christian faith. Among her last words, she expressed
appreciation to her family for their love and devotion.
Her
greatest interest in life was her devotion to her family and church.
She loved to commune with
friends, enjoyed good music, learning to play the piano after the family was
grown. She loved to read and kept up on world affairs.
She leaves to mourn her
departure, her three daughters, Mrs. [Joseph] Glen Butts [Roe Ethel], of Bedford, Iowa; Mrs. Walter [Francis] Mason
[Hattie Mabel], of Clearfield,
Iowa; and Mrs. William [Daniel] Marshall [Ruth Eva] of
Woodward, Iowa; one daughter-in-law, Mrs. Hazel Thompson of Clearfield, Iowa; three grandchildren, Olin
Mason, Bonnie Jean Thompson, and Dwight
Marshall; three brothers and one
sister, nieces and nephews and a host of friends.

held in the Bedford Baptist Church, Wednesday April 21st, 1948, conducted by

Virgil
Pender, residing on Mrs. Brown's
place about five miles south of town, committed suicide by hanging last
Tuesday. He left the house in the morning taking with him a strap belonging to
the harness, but nothing was thought of it until his lifeless body was found
hanging in the barn about noon. He had tied the strap to a plank or beam above
the manger and slipping his head through a slip noose, jumped off the manger.
It is not thought that death occurred for sometime. He came from Madison County
some months ago. He seemed to be a hard worker and himself and brother had
raised a good crop. The remains were taken to Winterset on the evening train
Thursday, accompanied by his wife and two small children and brother. His
father, brother, sister and uncle had come down from Winterset on hearing of
the sad news. The cause for his rash act is not known. Death is always sad
indeed but under such circumstances its sadness is manifold. The bereaved
family and friends have the sympathy of the entire community.

—A
strange circumstance is connected with the death of Jacob [Wolverton] Reed which we give as we heard it, and allow everybody
to interpret as they please. One week ago last Saturday he went to Bedford to
Mr. Flick's office and made his will. Mr. Flick was very busy and wanted him to
come back during the following week, but Mr. Reed would not be put off, and said, " next week
will be too late, it must be done to-day." The will was made, and the next
day while seated at dinner in apparently good health, he was struck with
paralysis and never spoke again. Was it a presentiment, and if so, from whence
did it come? -- Platte Valley Chronicle.

Cynthia
Ann Williams Anderson was born at St. Joseph, Missouri, May 17th, 1848,
and died at her home in Blockton November 18th, 1916, at 6:30 a. m., at the age
of 68 years, 6 months and 1 day.
She
lived in the vicinity of St. Joseph and Savannah until the outbreak of the war
in 1861, then for political reasons she came to the vicinity of Mormontown with
her mother and stepfather, Samuel Page.
She
was married to George Riley Anderson August 6th, 1863, at the age of 15, while he was at home on furlough.
She was the mother of ten children, six of whom preceded her in death. The four
remaining children are Mrs. Cora Patrick, of Blockton; Thomas [Hastings] and Miss Dollie at home and Mrs. Mary [Ann] Little, of Fort Collins, Colorado. All were present at
the funeral service. She also leaves 16 grandchildren and 7 great
grandchildren. Her only brother, Socrates Williams, [died about ten years ago. Her husband passed
away in April 1913. For almost 50 years they had walked life's pathway
together.
Many
years ago she joined the United Brethren church, it is thought under the
pastorate of Rev. Siemiller.
She often expressed a
desire to go. Her wish at last has been granted. While here she knew all the
privations of a pioneer life, but we are told in the word that there is a place
where God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more
death, neither sorrow nor dying, neither shall there be any more pain. For the
former things are passed away.
The funeral services were
held at the M. E. church Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, conducted by the
pastor, and interment was made in Rose Hill cemetery.

ACCIDENTAL DEATH
C. W. Holmes, Formerly of Conway, Killed in Idaho.
A
copy of the Lyons, (Kansas) Republican, was handed us this week by Mayor McKinley, and in it we find an
account of the accidental death of C. W. Holmes, who formerly resided at Conway. The obituary
notice is not exactly correct when it states that the boyhood days of the
deceased were spent near Lyons, for Chet, as he was called, did not leave this county until he was 16 years
of age. Many of the older settlers will remember him well. The account of his
death is as follows:
"Chester
William Holmes was born March
29th, 1866, at Monroe Furnace, Jackson County, Ohio; died November 15th, 1907,
at his home in Burke, Idaho, aged 41 years, 7 months and 17 days.
"On
Saturday, Nov. 16, 1907, a telegram was received by his brothers here that Chet
Holmes, the oldest of the family, had been killed at his home in Burke, Idaho,
by falling from a building. Word was sent at once to his mother who had just
gone on a visit to Kiowa and she was accompanied home by her nephew, Chas. Neff,
also to Carl and wife in Oklahoma, who arrived Wednesday evening. Arrangements
were made to ship the remains to Lyons for burial. Roy Lawrence, who had lived
with the Holmes family for more than two years, and who returned to Idaho with
Mr. and Mrs. Holmes after their visit here in August last, accompanied the
bereaved wife on the long and tiresome journey. They were joined at La Junta by
her daughter, Mrs. G. H. Downer,
and arrived in Lyons Wednesday morning at 10:53. The funeral services were held
Thursday at 2 o'clock p. m. at the Christian church and was largely attended by
relatives and friends of the family. The remains were laid at rest in the Lyons
cemetery.
"He
was married at Joplin, Mo., May 24, 1897, to Mrs. Lydia Stoll, who was his true and faithful companion to the
end.
"Chet spent his boyhood days on the farm owned by his
parents, southwest of Lyons. He had lived at Burke, Idaho, 7 years, and at the
time of his death was with the Hecla Mining Co., by whom he had been employed
for the last five years. On account of the financial flurry, Mrs. Holmes was unable to check out from their deposits in
the bank at Wallace, sufficient to meet the expenses. J.
R.
Smith, President of the mine, assumed all expenses and advanced sufficient
funds for her needs until she can return and attend to her interests there. At
the time of the accident he was assisting the electrician in wiring a part of
the inside of the building, 25 or 30 feet from the floor. He was standing on a
wood beam that crossed from one side to the other, around which was tied a
short rope used, perhaps, for attaching a block and tackle. It is supposed that
he caught his heel on this rope in taking a step backward, and losing his
balance, fell to the floor, striking on his head and shoulders, fracturing the
cerebral column. This explanation is made that his friends may know how the
accident occurred, as nearly as we can tell at present, and that his services
were appreciated by his employers who rendered all the assistance within their
power."
