Gone to Rest.
Mary
Rogers was born in Macon County,
Illinois, October 28, 1876, and died at her home near Sheridan, Missouri, May
13,1903, at 2 p. m. She was married to Frank [Francis Siegel] Anders November 4, 1896. To this union were born two
children—Annie Marie and
baby Harold Allen.
She
had been afflicted for seven or eight months, but her last illness began some
five weeks before her death. She suffered much through it all, malarial fever
being the cause of her death. She leaves two little ones who are too young to
know what mother's death means. There remains to mourn their loss a faithful
husband and devoted father, as well as two sisters, Mrs. Will Goulding, of Deadwood, South Dakota, and Mrs. Jennie
Thompson, of Cartersville, Mo. Mrs.
Goulding came in response to a
telegram about a week before her sister's death; the other sister was unable to
be present.
Mrs.
Anders was raised in Bedford, and
has many friends who familiarly knew her as Mollie Rogers. She was converted when sixteen years of age and
united with the Bedford Baptist church, of which she has been a consistent and
faithful member until her call to the heavenly home.
The
funeral services were conducted at the home, Thursday May 4th, at 2 p. m., her
pastor, Rev. D. W. Griffith, officiating.
The motherless children
are fortunate in having Mr. Anders' father and mother, commonly known as "uncle Jake" [Jacob Joseph Anders] and "aunt Martha," [Martha Reed] to care for them. May God bless them in this new
responsibility. Interment took place at Forest Grove cemetery. C.

where she lived for the past 3 1/2 years.
Bertha
Elenora Brown was born on a farm
south east of Bedford, Iowa, May 26, 1899, the daughter of Francis Marion
Brown and Mary Alice (Allie)
Ernest. She had two brothers, Harold and Dean, and two sisters, Jean and Fern, all of whom preceded her in death.
In

In

preceded her in death in 1970.
Bertha is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Ruby and Werner Zarnikow of Sun City, Arizona.
Also survived by five
grandchildren: Marie Latta,
Wilton, IA; Carolyn Hettinga,
Pella,
IA; Margaret Hill, Urbandale,
IA; Eric Zarnikow, Chicago,
IL; Ellen Zirwes, Peoria, AZ;
one great grandson, Daniel Hill,
five nieces and one nephew.
Bertha was a lifelong Baptist, joining the Bedford
Baptist Church at an early age.
She
will be greatly missed.
Funeral
services were held February 8, 1997 at Novinger-Taylor Funeral Home in Bedford
with Pastor Jamie Mogler officiating. Interment in Forest Grove Cemetery in
rural Taylor County, Iowa.
She
was known as Mom, Nana, friend and neighbor, but to us, her nieces and nephew,
she was Aunt Bertha. I didn't
know her well when I was a child, but I thought she was our "rich
Aunt" because she had a bathroom with running water. She laughed when we
talked about her being our rich Aunt. Aunt Bertha loved to laugh and had a great sense of humor.
She never forgot my birthday, in later years I tried never to forget hers. As
she aged and her eyesight failed; she told me one day if you're going to get me
a birthday card this year, make it chocolate.
Aunt
Bertha left us with a legacy of
the history of our family, much of the Bedford community a way of life gone
forever. She liked to say, "Just think of what I've seen in my lifetime.
I've gone from horse and buggy and Indians to space travel, and my what a
journey it's been." Every trip to Bedford was highlighted for me by going
to Aunt Bertha's. My sister Betty and I listened for hours to the stories of when she was a girl, her
relationship with, and the death of her sister, Fern. The sadness of the birth of her twin brother and
sister, when at 16 Aunt Bertha took care of Uncle Dean and
Grandma took care of the little one, with what we now know was spina bifida. How Grandma spoiled Harold (my Dad), and we learned sibling rivalry existed
in the early 1900's as well as today. We heard about her as a little girl coming
home from school and stopping to visit with her grandmother (who lived in the
front part of the house), of how that grandmother spoiled that little girl and
would give her tea and “visit” and she’d get in trouble with Grandpa Brown,
because she wasn't supposed to stop. We looked at pictures and learned of
another way of life. We heard first hand about our Grandparents and Great
Grandparents.
Aunt
Bertha was a very intelligent
lady, with a sharp quick wit. While she didn't have the opportunity to attend
high school, because she was a girl and she had to help at home (a fact she
always resented). She proved over and over how capable she was. She lived to
travel, read, keep up with current events, was interested in the well being of
relatives, friends and neighbors and of course her grandchildren was a favorite
topic of conversation in later years. I never heard her complain or feel sorry
for herself. She had a way of putting things in proper perspective. I remember
complaining to her of being the oldest person in a meeting I had attended. She
responded with "Hmp, how would you like to be the oldest person in
town?"
When
she moved to Arizona, it left a big void in our lives. No more running across
the street to visit. Last summer Betty and I went to Phoenix to visit. As we were saying goodbye, she told
us how glad she was to have seen us, thanked us for coming and for giving her
the chance to hear the words "Aunt Bertha" one more time. I will miss Aunt Bertha but she left me with many precious memories.

---A sad accident,
resulting in the death of the little son of Mr. and Mrs. James [William] Young
[Christina Spargur], of Jackson
Township, occurred last week. The child, who was only four or five years old,
got hold of Mr. Young's powder
flask and while it had it, fire was in some way communicated to the contents.
The explosion which followed was terrific and the child was severely burned.
Dr. V. R. King was sent for but the little sufferer died about the moment of
his arrival. The parents are nearly heartbroken by the suddenness and severity
of the blow.
