Mrs. C. C. Hatcher
Lena Rector Barton first saw the light of day in the home of her parents, W.[harton] R. [ector] and Margaret Ellen [McCoy] Barton, in Laclede, Mo., Aug. 6, 1887, and left for her Heavenly home on high, Thursday morning, Jan. 22, 1931, at 3:00 o'clock, from Research Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., having attained the age of 43 years, 6 months and 16 days. She grew to womanhood in the place of her birth, attending the public schools and the Brookfield Conservatory of Music, graduating from Laclede high school with the class of 1906. She professed faith in Christ at the age of 16 years and became an active worker in the Baptist church. On June 20, 1906, she joined hand and heart at the marriage altar with the Rev. C. [harles] C. [urry] Hatcher, then pastor at Hamilton, Mo. To their union three children were born: Harvey Barton, Doris Virginia and Leona Marie. With her family she has lived and loved and been loved, in the towns of Hamilton, Mo.; Savannah, Mo.; Bedford, Ia.; Columbia, Mo., and Liberty, Mo. On June 2, 1930, she went with her husband and family to Lexington, Mo., where she spent a brief six months creating a place in the work and in the hearts and esteem of those in the community, and among the people of the First Baptist Church, of which her husband is pastor. On Monday, Jan. 5th, she became ill at her home where professional skill, loved ones and friends combated illness until Thursday, Jan. 15, when she was taken to Research Hospital in Kansas City, where everything humanly possible was done to give her back again to those who loved her and the service dear to her heart. A model of patience and fortitude, she endeared herself in her last days to all who ministered to her, and spoke in her last days of the wonderful help of His divine grace. She quietly and peacefully went out to begin her new day of bliss with her Savior just before a new day dawned upon the earth. She is survived by her husband, three children, her father and mother, other relatives and a host of friends.
The funeral services were held at the First Baptist Church at Laclede, Mo., Friday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Forrest C. Feezor of Liberty, Mo., assisted by Rev. J. W. Trower and Rev. T. A. Dowler of Laclede.

C. C. Farlow
C. [harles] C. [ora] Farlow, ex-mayor of Beatrice, died unexpectedly from an attack of acute indigestion, Tuesday evening at 7 o'clock at his home at the corner of Eighth and Market streets. As he had been about town as usual the past few days, announcement of his death came as a shock to his friends, although he had been in failing health for the past few years. In 1920 he became a candidate for city commissioner and was elected mayor. He served continuously in that office for eight years. J. R. Ellis, then city commissioner, was elected and served as mayor from 1928 to 1930, his successor being the present mayor, W. I. Reed. It was recalled that his service as mayor extended through a stormy period featured by conflicts over municipal ownership and other issues. He was high man in several elections and while the returns showed the public attitude toward various questions the votes were also in the way of tributes to Mr. Farlow from his fellow citizens. However, he always spoke of election victories with modest disclaimers of the personal element and stressed whatever issue was at stake. While head of the city government Mr. Farlow built a number of homes in South Beatrice and also an apartment house on East Court Street. After retiring from office he spent much of his time looking after his property interests. He had a farm in western Nebraska. He was a great admirer of attractive homes and substantial improvements and while in office aided wherever he could in the upbuilding and beautification of Beatrice. He was fond of horses and he was a familiar figure at race meetings. He was a member of Beatrice Masonic Lodge and the local order of Elks, and usually could be found at gatherings of these orders. He was unassuming and reticent and never meddled with affairs other than his own. He held the respect and esteem of all during his long service as mayor of the city, and his passing will be deeply regretted by his friends in Beatrice and vicinity. Born at Bedford, Ia., Nov. 7, 1869, Mr. Farlow was 61 years of age. He came to Beatrice in 1891 where he engaged in the real estate, abstract and insurance business. In 1895-6 he operated a drug store in the old Paddock block. In 1893 he was married to Miss Ruth Reynolds of this city, and since that time they had resided continuously at Eighth and Market streets. He was a member of the First Christian church of this city. Besides his widow he leaves two sisters, Mrs. Mona Childs of Bridgeport, Nebr., and Mrs. Maude Moses of Denver, Colo. His brother, W. [illiam] N.[elson] Farlow, died in this city a few years ago.----Beatrice(Nebraska) Daily Sun

W. C. Swearingen Dead

[esley] Parrish, his father-in-law, in the north part of the city, where the funeral services were held this afternoon at 2 o'clock, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Bedford cemetery.

During the many years in business he made many friends in a social and business way, who will sympathize with the bereaved widow in her great loss. He was about 58 years of age at the time of his death and had spent almost his entire life among us. A few years ago he left Bedford to take a responsible position in a wholesale house at Grand Island, Neb., where he passed away. The family have the sympathy of the entire community.

Death of Mrs. Swearingen
Mrs. Mary Frances Swearingen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey [Wesley] Parrish [Maria Greedy], was born at Bedford, Iowa, Jan. 17, 1875, and died at Salt Lake City, Jan. 18, 1921, at the age of 46 years and 1 day.
Mrs. Swearingen grew to womanhood in Bedford, attending the public schools of this place. At 14 years of age she united with the Presbyterian Church of which she continued to be a member and helper until her removal to Grand Island, Neb., after her marriage. On Sept. 14, 1905, she was married to Wm. C.[hapman] Swearingen, who preceded her to the Beyond last May. For a while after that she made her home with her parents here, but later went to Colorado and then to Utah in hopes of better health. She improved but little and then began to fail and the past few weeks grew rapidly worse, but refrained from letting her parents know for fear they should worry.
She was quiet and unassuming, thoughtful and helpful to those around and a blessing wherever she went. To know her was to admire and respect her; and the chords of sympathy in many a heart has been touched by her quiet, Christian spirit in the battle for life, and the community grieve with Mr. and Mrs. Parrish in their affliction.
Funeral services were held from the Parrish home Sunday afternoon at 2:30, conducted by Rev. Lumbar. Interment in Fairview cemetery.

Long Life Ended
Mrs. Matilda D. Swearingen died at her home in Bedford on Monday evening, September 16, 1907, aged 82 years, 4 months and 4 days.
The funeral was held at the home at 3 p. m. yesterday, conducted by Rev. S. E. Henry, and attended by a large concourse of sorrowing friends. Interment at Fairview cemetery.
Matilda D. Chapman was born near Maysville, West Virginia on May 12, 1825, but in early life went to Ohio and for some years attended the Woman's Seminary at Steubenville in that state.
On May 12, 1845, she was united in marriage to Geo. W. [ilcoxen] Swearingen at Navarre, Stark County, Ohio, where they spent the first years of their married life. After leaving Stark County they lived for a time at Hanoverton and also at Minerva, Ohio. In the spring of 1873, they moved from the last named place to Bedford, Iowa, and this was their home during all the rest of their lives.
For forty years and six days Mr. and Mrs. Swearingen lived together, a happy, contented life, then the husband was called hence, his death occurring on May 18, 1885.
During their married life six children were born, who have already answered the summons from on high, and with their father, awaited the coming of the beloved wife and mother. Five children yet survive. They are Mrs. F. [red] F. Conser [Aurelia Aravista] of Kensington, Ohio; Mrs. Anna N. [aomi] Wilmoth of Bucklin, Missouri; Mrs. William M. Ramsey [Hannah Rebecca], of Burlington, and W. [illiam] C.[hapman] and R. [ichard] S.[herman] Swearingen, whose homes are at Bedford. With the exception of Mrs. Conser, all the living children were permitted to be at their mother's side during her last illness.
The grandchildren are George Conser, Frank Conser, Nellie Graff, George Graff, Cora [Elizabeth] King, Mrs. Zoa Townsend, Glen Calhoun and Helen McCorkle.
While a young girl attending the seminary, the deceased united with the Presbyterian Church and was ever after, until prevented by age and infirmities, she was a constant, active worker in the church, a consistent and conscientious Christian. Her life was always a beautiful example of charity and kindness to all, and none knew her but to admire and respect. During all the long days of her pain and suffering no word of complaint ever passed her lips, but her constant prayer was "Let Thy will be done."
The old friends who acted as pall bearers at the funeral were: A. G. Guthrie, B. F. Bailey, David Bailey, John Graff, H. W. Parrish and Jacob Cole.
