Call.
Allan
Cannon [Canon] died Sunday afternoon at 2:40 o'clock at the
home of his niece, Mrs. George Hughes, in Bedford, age 79 years, 3 months and 21 days.
The
funeral was held at the Hughes home at 10 a. m., Tuesday, conducted by Rev,
Hendrickson. The body was then taken to Perry, Iowa, where it was laid beside
that of his wife in the cemetery at that place.
Mr.
Cannon [Canon] was born August 24, 1828, at Lima, Ohio, and
remained until he was nearly grown, when he went to Illinois, moving there in
1846. While there the Civil war came on, and at the first call for volunteers, Mr.
Cannon [Canon] enlisted in the Eighty-third Illinois Infantry,
in which he served with honor and distinction for three years.
After
the war he came to Iowa, settling in Taylor County in 1865. For nearly twenty
years he lived on his farm northeast of Bedford, then he sold out and went to
Perry, Iowa, where he resided until the death of his wife three years ago. He
then returned to Bedford and has since lived at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
George Hughes.
Mr.
Cannon [Canon] was the father of seven children, all being boys
but one. Three sons survive him; they are Zerve and William [Allan], of Nebraska, and John of Topeka, Kansas.
Early
in life Mr. Cannon [Canon] united with the Methodist church, and ever after
was a faithful and consistent Christian, a man whom all respected, and his life
was a long and useful one.

Allan Cannon Dies
Allen
Canon, the subject of this
sketch, was born in the state of Ohio August 21, 1828, and departed this life
at the home of Geo. J. Hughes in Bedford, Iowa, with whom he has made his home for over two years, March 15,
1908, at the age of 79 years, 6 months and 24 days.
He
was married to Miss Matilda [Emeline] Andrews August 10, 1848, who preceded him to the home
beyond November 5, 1904. To this union seven children were born, three of whom
are living. One daughter died about one year ago and three of the six sons born
have gone on before. Three sons remain to mourn the loss of their father. Only
one, however, was present, John Canon, of Topeka, Kas., who took the body and placed it beside the wife at
Perry, Iowa, at which place they made their home for several years. Mr.
Canon was a resident of this
county for several years but moved to Perry where they remained till the death
of his wife when he came to Bedford and since that time has made his home with
his niece, Mrs. Geo. Hughes,
who cared for him as tenderly as if he had been her own father.
The
deceased was a faithful soldier during the war of the rebellion, a private in
Co. J., 83rd Reg. Ill. Vol. serving his country faithfully and honorably,
performing the part that falls to every American citizen in the hour of the
country's peril. He loved his country and patriotically served it and honored
his flag until the end.
Many
years ago he accepted Jesus Christ and became a member of the Methodist
Protestant church but in later years identified himself with the Methodist
Episcopal church at Perry where he retained his membership until his death. His
last hours were happy and peaceful, marked by a beautiful resignation to the
will of God. It has been the privilege of the writer to visit him and talk to
him a number of times during his last sickness and each visit impressed me with
the demeanor of a quiet uncomplaining spirit of the man. May the rest that God
has in store for the faithful be his portion is my prayer. He was of a family
of nine children, five girls and four boys, all dead now save Elijah, who makes his home a part of the time with his
daughter, Mrs. Allie Parmenter of Bedford, and who was here to attend the funeral. The funeral took place at
the home of Geo. Hughes Tuesday at 10 o'clock, conducted by Geo. A. Hendrickson of the Christian
church. C.

year 1906, but since that time his membership has been taken elsewhere. Mr.
Double leaves to mourn his
departure, his only daughter, Mrs. Marie St. Clair, and two living sisters, and two brothers, who
survive him. There are also many friends and relatives who are left to mourn
his leave taking. For the past ten or fifteen years Mr. Double has been living in Los Angeles, Calif., where he
was taken sick and passed on to his maker. We are sure his many old friends of
Bedford will miss him.

Died,
at the home of her son, T. [aylor] D. [avid] Jones, two and one-half miles south of Bedford, at 6:15
p. m., Sunday, August 18, 1895, Martha A. [nn] Jones, wife of Daniel Jones, aged 73 years 3 months and 2 days. Funeral

Mrs.
Jones had been in very feeble
health for some months but had borne her sufferings with true Christian
fortitude.
Mr.
and Mrs. Daniel Jones were among
the older of the residents of this county and their home was always the abode
of that true, informal hospitality that characterizes the early settlers of the
Great West. They were loved for their companionable domestic life; and hundreds
of hearts deeply sympathize with Uncle Daniel and his children, in the sad
bereavement that has come to them in the loss of a loving wife and a kind,
indulgent, Christian mother.
Martha
Ann Lee was born May 16, 1822 in
Wayne county, Ohio. In 1839 she moved with her parents to Porter County,
Indiana and in the same county, in 1842, was married to Daniel Gamin [Gamon]

Stroke Is Fatal to Bedford Man---Was First Death in Immediate Family
Funeral services for Taylor D. [avid] Jones, who died at his home in Bedford early Saturday morning, were held at the Methodist church Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. M. R. Talley. Burial was made in the Fairview cemetery.
Mr. Jones was born in Valparaiso, Ind., Sept. 23, 1848. There he lived his life as a boy, attended school, and later the Valparaiso university. When a young man he moved to Iowa county, Iowa.
June 26, 1871, he was married to Miss Catharine Kessler at Marengo, Iowa. Soon after they came to Bedford, where they resided for seven years, then settled on a farm two miles south of town, where they made their home for thirty years.
In the year 1908, Mr. and Mrs. Jones retired from the farm and took up their residence in north Bedford, where they have since lived. They are truly an early pioneer family, having spent sixty-one years here. They also passed their sixty-first wedding anniversary just a few weeks ago.
Mr. Jones was the father of eight children, who with the wife and mother survive. They are Mrs. W. L. Dorr, Mrs. J. N. Hensley, Don C. Jones and Clarence D. Jones of Bedford; Mrs. Frank S. Perdue of Denver, Colo., Mrs. W. A. Davidson of Santa Ana, Calif., Mrs. Walter Adrian of Portland, Ore., J. Kessler Jones of Elizabeth, N. J. There are also twelve grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.
A very remarkable fact is that the Jones family has stood as a unit, unbroken by death; until the father was stricken with a stroke of paralysis Thursday afternoon. He was immediately unconscious and never rallied from that state.
He had been a member of the Methodist church for thirty-seven years.

Death of Mrs.
Rachel Mahan
Died,
at her residence in Clayton Township, Taylor County, Iowa, Mrs. Rachel
[John] Mahan, wife of William
Mahan, at 9 o'clock, p. m., on
Saturday, May 31st, 1884, aged 45 years, 7 months and 3 days.
The
deceased was born in Clinton County, Indiana, on the 28th of October 1838, and
removed to this county with her mother in the year 1855, where she was married
to William Mahan on the 23d of
March 1856. She united with the Baptist church at the age of sixteen and was
immersed by Eld. J. M. Smith, at her former home in Indiana. She lived a
consistent Christian woman, sustained by her faith during a life of more than
ordinary trial. During the past eighteen years she had been an invalid and much
of the time suffered a great degree of physical pain with much patient
resignation.
She
leaves a husband and son and four daughters, with many other relatives and
friends to mourn her loss, but they sorrow not as those who are without hope.
The
remains were interred in the Lexington cemetery, on Monday last, at one
o'clock. The funeral services were conducted at the house by Elder J. P. Lucas,
of the Christian church, and the last sad rites were witnessed by a large
number of mourning friends and relatives.
There
is a better land. In that pure land there shall be no wreck, no ruin, no storm,
no pain nor trouble, and no more parting.
There no tempest wakes the echo,
In the wood, on wave or hill
There the child shall meet its mother,
And the mother meet her child,
And dear families shall be gathered
That were scattered on the wild.
Friends, may we there meet and rest,
' Mid the peaceful and the blessed.

active pursuits.

—The past two weeks
have witnessed the death of two of our oldest citizens, Elder Levi Fleming and Mr. Reuben A. [lexander] Moser. Each, in different spheres, afforded an
illustration of an active, honorable, and useful life, of patient endurance, of
heavy burdens which long continued disease imposed, of death's dark shadow
entered without fear, and of bereaved homes to which the words of Whittier
apply:
"How strange it seems, with so much gone
Of life so sweet, to still live on.”
