Obituary - J.
I. Larison
John
Larison, son of Enoch
and Cathryn [Catherine Smith] Larison,
was born near Bedford, Iowa, June 10, 1866, and spent his entire life
as a resident of this community.
He
was educated in the Bedford schools, later engaged in farming and stock
raising in partnership with his brother George, and later became one of the outstanding salesmen in this part of the
county for the lines represented.
He
was married Jan. 3, 1894, to Rose R. [ebecca] Ernest, a union in which the love was deepened with the
passing years, and the ties have been strengthened with every experience
through which they have passed together.
They have been an example to all who knew them of what affectionate
comrades a husband and wife can be.
They worked together, then took time to travel and to play together,
and when his health broke she was his constant attendant, doing all
in her power to relieve him and to comfort him.
They had no children of their own, but reared a boy, John
Buell, now deceased, and a girl, now Mrs. Delno Pickering
[Edith McIntyre Larison],
whose home is in the vicinity and who is in every way like an own daughter
to her mother.
Mr.
Larison was baptized into
the Baptist church at Bedford by Rev. Scott, Jan. 25, 1882, and from
that day had been an indispensable member and a tower of strength in
the church. He was always in his place in the work
that needed to be done in the financing of the church, in the prayer
meeting, the Sunday school, and all the regular services. For many years he had been a member of the church board of
trustees, always present at their meetings, doing all in his power to
promote the best interests of the church.
He
was an active and loyal member of both the Odd Fellows and Masonic lodges
of Bedford.
His
health began to fail about three years ago, a condition of anemia developing
which made it almost certain that his life would not be long spared. But he went on about the whole round of
his life in his accustomed enthusiastic and energetic way until the
break came last February, which took him to the hospital and had since
confined him there until a few days ago, when he returned to spend the
last few days of his life among the old friends and old surroundings.
Mr.
Larison was the last of
a family of six brothers and one sister.
Besides his wife and his foster daughter, Mrs. Pickering [Edith McIntyre Larison] and her family, he leaves four nephews and two
nieces.
Few
men who have lived in this neighborhood have had so wide an acquaintance
and so large a circle of friends.

[John]
George Russell, one of
the old settlers and best-known citizens of Jackson Township, died at
his home this morning at 8 o'clock.
Yesterday,
Mr. Russell was working in the field and was feeling unusually well,
but at supper time, not coming home, a search was made and he was found
lying by the fence in a partially unconscious condition. He was taken home and Dr. Beauchamp summoned, but he never
regained consciousness except for a short time and passed away this
morning.
If
the relatives who have been summoned arrive in time the funeral will
be held at 2:30 p. m., Friday, at Forest Grove, conducted by Revs. Thompson

John
George Russell was born
Oct. 9th, 1839, in Canteel, County Tyrone, Ireland, and died
at his home 11 miles southeast of Bedford, June 26, aged 66 yrs., 8
mo., and 17 days. He was baptized in infancy and in youth
became a member of the Church of England.
While still living in his native country he was married to Miss
Margaret Davidson. Four children, all daughters, blessed
this union, one dying in infancy, while three with their mother, and
also three sisters of the deceased, still live.
In 1880 the family removed to America, settling on the same farm
and moving into the same house where Mr. Russell died. His upright life and kindly disposition makes his loss a heavy
one to the neighborhood.
The
funeral will occur tomorrow at 2:30 p. m. at the Forest Grove church,
conducted by Rev. Thompson. Interment
will be made at Forest Grove.

Mrs. Meek Dead
A
message was received here yesterday conveying the sad intelligence of
the death of Mrs. Anna Meek,
which occurred at Colorado Springs, Colorado, on Tuesday afternoon.
The
body was shipped to Bedford and will arrive here tonight. It is accompanied by the bereaved husband,
and until he arrives no definite funeral announcement can be made.
Mrs.
Meek has been in poor
health for some months and a few weeks ago went to Colorado in the hope
that the change of climate would prove beneficial.
The hope, however, was vain.
She continued to grow worse and realizing that the inevitable
end could not long be delayed, her husband went to her bedside. She lived a few days after his arrival, but continued steadily
to decline until the end came Tuesday.
Mrs.
Meek is the wife of Harry
Meek and the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. [illiam]

was more highly esteemed or had more friends.

Clyde was the son of J. C. Morgan, formerly of this county, but for some years a resident
of Cassoday, Kansas. Deceased
was a boy of 11 years and six months and came to his death by drowning.
He had started from the home of his parents for town, driving
a horse and buggy. On his road he was compelled to ford a
river. Ordinarily the ford
is safe, but on that day the water was up and the ice was floating in
the stream. Clyde would
have made the crossing in safety, but just as he was in mid-stream,
a big cake of ice struck the buggy, turning it over and throwing him
out. In the icy waters he had no chance and was soon drowned.

He Sustains Broken
Neck Haying
Our Old Friend
and Neighbor, Thos. McCracken,
Falls From a Load of Hay and Is Instantly Killed---The Physician Is
Immediately Called, But Death Ensues Before He Reaches The Scene
A Shocking Death
The Terrible
Accident Happens At The Lindley Farm Three Miles North of This City
Yesterday,
shortly after one o'clock, news reached this city by telephone that
was shocking in the extreme, and at first people refused to believe
the first horrible report of the shocking death of our old time neighbor,
Thos. McCracken, but
very soon the distressing facts were impressed upon the people of this
city. Death lurks about in every conceivable
shape, and is ever present, but none were prepared for this sudden and
terrible appearance.
Mr.
McCracken was out three
miles north of this city on the Lindley farm putting up hay. It was the last load before dinner and
he with Sam Harley
was loading after a hay loader and the load was about eight feet high. Mr. Harley got down to unfasten the loader
from the wagon and had just done so when Mr. McCracken came to the ground,
the horses having taken a forward step, causing him to fall, striking
on the side of his face, breaking his neck, as the doctor's visit subsequently
developed. He never spoke
after he fell and death was almost instantaneous with the fall.
The
body was brought to the family residence in this city, and the various
relatives notified of the sudden death, but it is the thought that none
of the children will be here for the funeral as they are all so far
away with the exception of C. [hristopher] C. [olumbus] McCracken, the oldest son, who lives here. Thomas is at Arbuckle, Cal., near San Francisco, Cary is in Hawaii, Lillian is touring Europe, [Amanda] Iowa
is in Portland, Oregon, Laura
is in Fremont, Nebraska, and Mary
is at North Platte, Neb.
It
is possible that some of them may be here, but at this writing it is
not certain.

Obituary
Thomas
[Jefferson] McCracken was born in
[Randolph County] North Carolina, Jan. 12, 1832, and died near his home
in Bedford, Taylor County, Iowa, July 23, 1903.
He
was married to Miss Elizabeth [Ann] Lewis in Howard County, Indiana, July 30, 1854. Ten children were born to this union, six sons and four daughters.
Three sons died in infancy.
The remaining sons are Thomas, of San Francisco; Cary, of Honolulu, and C. [hristopher] C. [olumbus],
of this place. The daughters---Mrs. Mary Grimes, wife of Judge Grimes, of North Platte, Nebraska;
Mrs. Laura Welple,
of Fremont, Nebraska, and Mrs. [Amanda] Iowa Dipple, Portland, Oregon.
We
all feel deeply for the other daughter, Miss Lillian, who is in Europe on her vacation. May God sustain and bless her in the trying
hour when the news shall be broken to her. Those present at the funeral are, the son, C. [hristopher]
C.[olumbus], and Mrs.
Grimes. Others
could not be present on account of distance and sickness.
How
often many of us, or those of us who are accustomed to be at prayer
meeting, remember his pleadings at a throne of grace for his family,
especially the absent ones from home.
His family and pastor were ever remembered at a throne of grace.
Bro.
McCracken was raised a
Quaker, but professed conversion and united with the Baptist church
in Howard County, Indiana, in 1855.
This testimony is given by his pastor that he has been most faithful
and devoted in his Christian duties; always present at prayer meeting,
no matter how stormy the weather, or how tired he felt from his day's
toil. Sister McCracken said that when she requested him not to go
to prayer meeting when so tired, he would say, no, he would go, for
the prayer meeting was the last place he wanted to go from.
Last
Wednesday night there were no electric lights, on account of injury
to the dynamos, but Brother Douglass secured a number of lamps and we
had a most blessed prayer meeting. Bro. McCracken took part in prayer, and also spoke very fervently. The prayer made a deep impression upon
the pastor. He especially
prayed for the members of the church who used profane language---that
they might see the great evil of their course and turn to God. Mightily did he plead with God that there might be a gracious
revival among the members as well as the salvation of precious souls.
The Lord grant that his prayer may be answered, not only for
this church, but for all others.
We
spoke of the burden of his testimony, emphasizing the great need of
taking time to wait on God in these busy days.
Wish there was a trumpet voice to make everybody hear the need
of "taking time to wait on God, no matter how great the rush."
There
has gone from our midst one of the old land marks of this community. He came here in 1856, and for almost half
a century he has lived among you.
He was in business for over thirty years and is known far and
wide, not only in Bedford, but in the county.
The old settlers must pass on to the unseen country. This seems a special call to them.
Who
shall take his place in the Sabbath School, the church and in the prayer
meeting? He will be missed
in this respect by the pastor more possibly than by anyone else. He will be missed in the home and among
associates.
There
is great consolation to the family in that he had his wish in every
particular. He wanted to
go suddenly, and he went that way.
He wanted the prayer meeting to be the last place where he should
publicly take part before being called away, and this was granted. God grant that others may arise to be faithful.
