Mrs. Warren Gallup – The following is taken from the Buffalo (Wyo.) Voice, concerning the death of Mrs. Warren Gallup a former resident of Bedford.
The funeral of Mrs. Warren Gallup, who died last Friday at her home in South Buffalo, was held Monday at 2 o'clock from the house. The services were conducted by Rev. C. J. Mekkelson of the Methodist church, assisted by Rev. Samuel E. West of the Episcopal church. The services were brief, the minister in his remarks paying high tribute to the memory of the deceased, who was a woman of high Christian character and was highly esteemed by all who know her. As a token of the affection in which she is held, many and beautiful were the floral offerings.
Mrs. Gallup's maiden name was Mary Charlotte Triggs. She was born September 12, 1845, in Indianapolis, Indiana and was the tenth child of a family of twelve children. She moved with her parents to Washington county, Iowa, when a small child and grew to womanhood there.
She was married to Warren Gallup on March 11, 1869, at Richland, Iowa. Three children were born to this union, James D. of Havre and Garret B. of this city survive her. Ralph F. died in infancy.
Mr. and Mrs. Gallup and children lived in Taylor county, Iowa, until 1891, when the family moved to Johnson county, where they have resided since.
Mrs. Gallup's illness covered many years and during that time she was always a patient sufferer. For the past six weeks her condition was serious, and she finally went to sleep which gradually grew into the fatal one.
She was reared a Methodist and has been a faithful member of that denomination for the past fifty-six years.
Interment was made by the side of Mr. Gallup in Willow Grove cemetery.

Commits Suicide: Family Absent
Mrs. George Glassgow Near Hawleyville Hangs Self Tuesday Evening
Husband and Three Small Sons Absent When Deed Was Committed—Suffered From Diseased Limb for Several Years.
Mrs. George Glassgow, living on a farm north of Hawleyville on the Page-Taylor county line, committed suicide last Tuesday evening by hanging herself from one of the upper joists in the smoke house. Her husband and three small sons were absent from the place. No formal inquest was held as it was a plain case of suicide.
The cause of the woman's tragic act is supposed to have been suffering which came from a badly diseased limb. For the past two years she has been walking on the toes of one foot and suffering much pain. Her husband states that he had recently advised to go to an osteopath but that she had not done so. He also stated that he had never seen the diseased limb which she had kept bandaged and that she had constantly refused to talk about it. A sister of Mrs. Glassgow, Mrs. Fisher, who lives in the same locality, stated that she also had never seen the diseased limb or realized the seriousness of its condition. A brief examination made by Dr. Clark showed its condition to have been extremely serious.
Before her death Mrs. Glassgow had taken pains to give the house a thorough cleaning from top to bottom, had started supper and had set the table for her husband and three sons, settling no place for herself, however. The relatives stated that it was the first time she had ever been left alone in the house without at least one of the children. When they left for the neighboring farm, she seemed in the best of spirits and was pleased at the sight of her youngest son, three years of age, upon the wagon with his father and two brothers. When the husband and sons returned to the farm, they were unable to find her, hunted everywhere and phoned to the neighbors without success. Finally, happening to go to the smoke house the father found the door barred from the inside. When he had obtained entrance, he found his wife dead from strangulation. She had evidently mounted a box, tied the rope to a high joist, then around her neck and kicked the box from under her feet. The deceased was forty-four years of age. She was a daughter of James Bramble of New Market. Her three sons are 3, 7 and 13 years of age respectively.

Col. Green Dies Friday Morning Known To All
Father of Mrs. G. L. Turner Passes away After Short Illness—Funeral Sunday Afternoon Old Age Causes Death
Col. J. T. Green, father of Mrs. G. L. Turner of this city passed away Friday morning at the Turner home in this city. He had been confined to the house for something over two weeks, suffering from a general break down and old age. He had been known to a host of friends since coming here and was always addressed as Colonel by everyone. The funeral services were held from the Presbyterian church in this city Sunday afternoon at 2:30, being conducted by the Rev. A. H. Fraser, pastor of the church. The obituary given at the services is given herewith:
Obituary of John T. Green
Last Friday morning, January 26, 1917, at 8:35 o'clock, John T. Green, who was residing at the home of his daughter, Mrs. G. L. Turner, and who had for two weeks been confined to his bed from a general break down through old age, heard the "Roll Call Up Yonder" and went up to join the army invincible.
He was born in Owen county, Kentucky, September 12, 1839. In young manhood he came to the State of Missouri and when Company C, Sixth Missouri Calvary was organized February 28, 1862, he became a member of it.
Later he became a member of Company E., Thirteenth Missouri Cavalry and was mustered out in 1866.
On October 7, 1867, at Richmond, Mo., he was united in marriage to Mary J. Joiner and to them were born three daughters.
Mr. Green was in the Hotel business in Bedford, Iowa, for over twenty-five years and was noted as a Landlord for his genial disposition and his kindly hospitality.
In this business, of which so few make a success, he was very successful and accumulated a considerable of wealth.
He united with the Christian Science church in Wichita, Kansas, in 1909. After coming to Broken Bow he united with the Presbyterian church.
He is survived by his wife, Mary J. Green of Broken Bow, and three daughters, Mrs. G. Turner, of Broken Bow; Mrs. W. B. Moore of Mason City, Nebraska, and Mrs. Lottie O. Park of Broken Bow, who were all at his bedside when he passed away.
He is also survived by four sisters and one brother who are all too feeble to make the journey to attend the funeral services.
He was a devoted husband, a kind and loving father and his presence will be greatly missed by those who were so near and dear to him. Mr. Green had that kindly, genial, affable manner of the Southerner, was a good conversationalist, and was a man whom it was a pleasure to meet.
Several weeks after he united with the Presbyterian church he informed me that on the day, he came before the Session for admission into the church he wondered as to whether or not he was taking a proper step. But he said that after he had made public profession before the church and was baptized a great blessing came into his soul and there was born within him a deep desire to know more of Christ and to live in accord with his teachings.
Although it was difficult for him to hear yet he was faithful attendant at church services and at the Bible Class in the Sabbath School and quite frequently he came to the mid-week meeting.
He made marked growth in his Christian life during the past eight or nine months.
And now since the earthly house of his tabernacle has been dissolved we believe that he has gone up to inhabit that "house not made with hands eternal in the heavens."

Sudden Death of W. U. Hamilton
Stricken In Home of Son While En Route From Doctor's Office to Own Residence
A heart attack caused the sudden death of W. [infield] U. [lysses] Hamilton, 71 years old, Saturday afternoon
He had been complaining of pains in his chest and went to the office of Dr. M. R. McCroskie. Dr. McCroskie gave him some medicine and advised him to go home and stay there and rest. On the way from the doctor's office he decided to stop by the Ratzlaff apartments over the Republican office and visit his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Frank Hamilton, who had been ill with pneumonia.
He had visited with his son and daughter-in-law a moment or two and then said he'd better go by the court house after a daughter, Winnie, who is employed there and go home. He suddenly grew sick and as his son caught hold of him he slumped thru his arms to the floor.
Dr. McCroskie was immediately summoned and attempted to revive him by an injection of heart stimulant which was of no avail.
Hamilton came to this county in 1901 from Northern Kansas and opened the first butcher shop in Fairview. It was from this business he received the nickname "Butch."
He was in the cattle business for 12 years and then engaged in the Ford business for two years with Dr. B. F. Johnson. He was then in the oil business and tag agent for the county until 1930 when he retired from active business.
He was a member of the Presbyterian church of this city.
The survivors are: his wife, one son, Frank; two daughters, Winnie, of the home, and Nada May, of Rochester, Minn., other relatives and a host of friends. Nada May had spent the holidays here and had just returned home when she was called back to Fairview.
Funeral services were held at the Speece funeral chapel at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon with Rev. Louis Drake, Presbyterian minister, preaching the funeral sermon.
Interment was made in the Fairview cemetery.
Pall bearers were: G. P. Wells, George McDonald, W. B. Hanly, Guy I. Shafer, Chas. Slack and Fred Warhurst.

Former Alva Woman Dies Suddenly
Mrs. George A. Hendrickson, Formerly of This City, Passes Suddenly Away at Chandler.
About 3:30 o'clock this morning a telephone message to Mrs. Chet Fulton bore the sad intelligence that her mother, Mrs. Geo. A. [lvin]  Hendrickson, had passed suddenly away during the night at her home in Chandler, Oklahoma and Mr. and Mrs. Chet Fulton and little daughter left this afternoon over the Rock Island for that place. The many friends here of the family will be grieved to learn of Mrs. Hendrickson's sudden death and only the Great Comforter can console the bereft.
Mrs. Hendrickson has been in poor health for more than a year, but up to a couple of days before the end came she was feeling as well as common, but the supposition is she took a fresh cold which developed into pneumonia and in her weakened condition could no longer ward off the grim reaper and answered to the last great summons that sooner or later comes to all.
The remains will be taken to their old home in Trenton, Missouri where interment will be made.
Geo. A. [lvin]Hendrickson was at one time pastor of the Christian church here and the family made many warm friends during their residence at this place. After Mr. Hendrickson's resignation as pastor here he accepted a call to the pastorate of the Christian church at Shawnee for a year, then on account of ill health he resigned and took up evangelistic work and at the time of Mrs. Hendrickson's death he was engaged in a series of meetings at Chandler.
Besides Mr. Hendrickson, two children are left to mourn her death, a son, who is a traveling salesman with headquarters at St. Louis, Missouri and a daughter, Mrs. Chet Fulton, who resides in Alva and many other relatives and friends.

Some five years ago she came to Oklahoma two years of which time she lived at Alva and over two years at Shawnee. Since December 1, she had been with her husband in the Evangelistic work. In this work she rejoiced even though in poor health; her way was made so pleasant by the good people for whom the meetings were conducted that it was to her tired spirit and emaciated body a bright rose in her life.

Indianola Advocate-Tribune: John Holladay was born in Vermillion county, Illinois, December 22, 1832, and died at Indianola, Iowa, December 27, 1915, at the age of eighty-three years and five days.
When he was about two years of age, his father moved to Orange county, Indiana, where he opened a new farm in the forest. Here John Holladay grew to young manhood. He was the fourth child in a family of six boys and three girls, two of whom survive him: a brother, Linden Holladay of Woodward, Okla., and a sister, Mrs. Helen Emery, also of Oklahoma.
When eighteen years of age his mother died and the home was broken up. He then moved to Georgetown, Texas, with a company of neighbors, the majority of whom were members of the Friends church. he lived there for three years. the civil war was going on and he had to leave Texas, because of his pronounced views with reference to the question of abolition. He returned to the old home neighborhood but in 1856 came to Taylor county where he lived for thirty-six years, residing for more than thirty years of this time on the same farm, four and one-half miles south of New Market, Iowa.
He was united in marriage with Catherine Emerick on the twenty-second ay of November 1860. To this union four children were born: A. O. Holladay, residing near Indianola; Rev. E. C. Holladay of Cottage Grove, Ore.; S. M. Holladay and Mrs. Dora Surber of Indianola. He is survived by his wife, now past eighty-three years of age and by all four of the children.
He moved to Indianola in 1893 so that his younger children could have the educational advantages of this place and at the same time live at home.
When the call came to defend his country's cause, he volunteered leaving behind him his young wife and his first baby. He enlisted in company F, 29th Iowa Infantry, and served for three years and six months, a faithful soldier, obeying every order. He volunteered as a nurse on several occasions and while he cared for the soldier patients sick with fevers, measles and small pox, he never contracted any contagious disease. He sustained a sun stroke while in the service and never regained his former strength and health.
He was raised a Quaker and when a young boy, gave his heart to God and joined the Friends church. After moving to Iowa, in the absence of the church of his choice, he united with the Methodist Episcopal church when a class was formed in his neighborhood. On moving to Indianola he again united with the church of his father. He lived a Christian for more than three quarters of a century.
He has been a good father, teaching his children industry, high morality and religious duty. He has been a kind and loving husband, a good provider, regarding hard work as a religious duty. He has been a consistent and honorable citizen through a long life, obeying his country's laws at all times. He has gone to enjoy forever a well earned and everlasting reward.

It comes to us that the kind father needed him up there in the better world and so he called him to the eternal joy of the blessed land. As the shadows of night were giving way to the joy and light of the new day Ralph awoke to the dawn of the perfect day.
Ralph surrendered his life to the service of the Savior at Bedford in 1910 and was baptized by pastor McMasters of the First Baptist church.
His was a godly young life, noble, promising and true. Loved by his own family, esteemed by associates and acquaintances, cherished by a wise and loving heavenly father who early took him to his home on high.
Ralph was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Horning who with the two brothers and four sisters survive to miss this young and promising life.
Friday of last week he was taken down with the ravages of typhus fever and was acutely ill till the early morning hour Tuesday when he yielded to the final summons.
A life so young, so noble, so sacrificing, so loved will be greatly missed but how blessed in the sun-lit land above. May the Father of all grace, comfort and sustain and be especially near to the sorrowing father and mother and family and enable them to say "Amen" to all His perfect will.
Funeral services were conducted by Revs. Hatcher and Burroughs from the First Baptist Church of Bedford and the youthful form was laid to its long rest in Fairview cemetery.
