Noble Woman Called Home
In the passing into the beyond of Mrs. Mary L. Garrigus Bailey, whose death occurred on March 2, 1921, this community loses one of its most noble women, whose pure sweet life permeated every circle in which she moved and these were many, as she gave much of her time and ability in the discharge of her duties in the home, church and the different societies to which she belonged. Hers was a winning devoted spirit which had much to do with the success of the several societies of which she was a member. Her Christian spirit found beautiful expression in faithfulness to the church services as long as she was able to attend, and her home was a mecca for those who needed kindly advice and spiritual admonition. She was kind to all alike and the needy were never turned from her door without their needs being well supplied. She has been a faithful member of the Church of Christ for thirty eight years and a true child of God and her place is one that will be hard to fill. She will be greatly missed by her score of friends who were drawn toward her on account of her truly beautiful womanhood and sunny disposition. She was a remarkable woman, and the goodness of her life will live for many years to come.
She was a womanly woman, a kind neighbor, a splendid mother, who leaves to her children the richest of legacies—the memory of a Christian Mother. She was ill for about two years and when the last hours approached she had no fear, she was well acquainted with Him who came for her. He had been her constant companion through the years and it was only stepping into the mist of the Valley of the Shadow with a well beloved and a well known friend. She is gone and we shall miss her surely, but her memory will ever be an inspiration to those who knew her.
She had been a member of the Woman's Relief Corps for thirty-five years and for many years a member and leader in the Ladies' Aid Society in both of which she had always taken an active part and in years past had taken an active part in the social affairs of our city.
Mary L. Garrigus was born March 20, 1844 at Green Hill, Columbia County, Ohio, and passed to her reward March 2, 1921 at Bedford, Iowa.
She was married July 27, 1865 to David Bailey. To this union were born four children, three of whom survive. One, Charley H., having died January 11, 1919.
She moved from her home in Ohio, to Springdale, Cedar County, Iowa, in the fall of 1865 and from there to Taylor county in the spring of 1876, where she lived on a farm northwest of Bedford until the fall of 1895, when she moved with her husband to Bedford, where she resided until she was called home.
There are left to mourn her loss her husband, three children, nine grandchildren and eight great grandchildren.
The funeral of this beloved woman was held at the Church of Christ on last Friday afternoon at 2:30 and was attended by a large number of her neighbors and friends.
Pastor E. E. Lowe conducted the solemn service and he was assisted by Rev. Gable, pastor of the Methodist church. Appropriate music was rendered by a selected choir and the songs she loved in life were rendered in a most affective manner.
The floral offering by friends of the departed one were most beautiful and hid from view the casket which contained all that was earthly of this aged mother in Israel.
The W. R. C's. had charge of the ritualistic rights at the service which were most beautiful and impressive. The W. R. C. Ladies and the old Soldiers attended in a body, and all were deeply touched by the loss their orders had sustained in the passing into the beyond of their beloved sister, Mrs. Bailey.
The remains were interred in the family lot in the Fairview cemetery.
In the death of this noble woman it can be truly said that:
"Death but entombs the body;
life the soul;
Life makes the soul dependent
on the dust;
Death gives her wings to mount above the spheres."

He moved with his parents to Bedford in 1897; then to Ames, Nebr., in 1898, and then in the spring of 1903 to the farm home southwest of Stuart, Nebr.

After a short stay in England he was sent to France and his division was quartered on private grounds, an old French estate as all the American Camps were full.
Walter's division was made a fighting division to be sent to the front as soon as drilled. But before they could reach the front death claimed him, and his name was added to the long list of those whose young lives have been given in the cause of right.
Walter was a young man with a happy disposition, always looking on the bright side of things and made friends on every side. He will be sadly missed by those who had the pleasure of knowing him. The family, consisting of father and mother, sister, Mrs. Earl Margrets [Margritz] of Douglas, Wyo, Marjorie Bailey of Stuart, Nebr., Mrs. W. G. Russell and daughter Maryelle Glyde Russell of Omaha, were here to attend the last sad rites of their loved one.

Death of Dr. Beauchamp's Brother.
Dr. E.[dward] D. [ouglas] Beauchamp of Bloomfield, Iowa, brother of Dr. J. [oseph] W. [illiam] Beauchamp of this place, died at his home in Bloomfield April 11, 1921, and was buried April 17, 1921, at Bloomfield.
Dr. Beauchamp had practiced medicine in Bloomfield since 1888 and was one of the highly honored and respected citizens of that city. in giving the account of his death and funeral, the Bloomfield paper has the following:
"His life was one of service in the relief of suffering among his fellow men. The demands upon him for service was tremendous, yet there was no night so dark and no storm so fierce that would prevent his performing duty. His services at home during the recent war on the Davis County Local Draft Board and the added demands upon him during the absence of the younger doctors in the army weakened and wearied him to so great an extent that he felt for his own safety he should retire from active service and did go to California for a rest and health, but that did not relieve him of service for the was constantly importuned while there to practice which he did out of his great and uncontrollable desire to help, when at last he realized he could not stand the pressure longer, and knowing his own condition, came home to spend the remainder of his days, as he said, with those he had first loved."
