Obituary
Mary
Alice Duncan was born March 13,
1893, at Siam, Iowa and departed this life January 28, 1924, at Aden, Alberta,
Canada.
Her
early life was spent with her parents on the farm near Siam. At an early age the unselfish spirit of
her life was beginning to be noticed.
She was always willing to share with a playmate any of her childhood
treasures. That same unselfish
spirit characterized her life. She
made many friends wherever she went---friends whose lives were touched by her
unselfishness and purity of life and motive. Her love for music also manifested itself early and was
encouraged by her parents. She
finished school at Siam and entered Amity College at College Springs. After leaving school there she taught
school for a term and then came with her parents to Bedford, where she will be
remembered by several with whom she was employed in business places.
In
her second year at Amity College she publicly accepted Christ as her Savior and
Lord, and at that time united with the Methodist Episcopal church. The record of the years since that time
is written on high. But is also
written in the hearts and lives of the folks she met and worked with. In Canada, in the pioneer life, she has
had a large place in the lives of the people of the community. She was the church organist. She was the teacher of the Sunday
school primary class. It was she
who always had charge of the programs given by the children on the occasions of
Christmas, Children's Day, or other special programs, and oftentimes going to
the homes of the people to be sure that the program was to be a success. The congregation of Aden will long
remember her faithful service. Her
home was the home always open to the minister, and her heart was ever ready to
respond to any call for service in the MasterÕs name.
On
July 20, 1917, she was united in marriage to W. [illiam] H. [oward]
Wickersham. Their married life has been singularly
happy---happy in the service of their Lord and Master.
On
August 9, 1922, a little girl came to gladden their home, but she was only a
flower that blossomed and faded in a day.
She
leaves to mourn her early going away, her husband, her father and mother, Mr.
and Mrs. [James] Daniel Duncan [Evaline Scrivner], two sisters, Mrs. Alva [Jefferson] Clayton [Syddena] and Mrs. Elza [Edgar] Clayton [Maud], two brothers, Roy Duncan and Oscar Duncan, all residing at Bedford except the last named
and he from Lankershim, Cal. All
were present at the funeral. There
are also nephews and nieces and other relatives, all of whom will mourn her departure.
The funeral was held
Tuesday afternoon at the M. E. church, Rev. Talley in charge, and interment
made in Fairview cemetery.

In Loving Remembrance
of Mary Alice
Dear
Mary Alice's life was like the Rose of Sharon. Its fragrance is twined about the home and the hearts of a

Mrs. I. M.
Wickersham Dead
The
death of Mrs. I. [saac] M. Wickersham from cancer of the stomach, which had been momentarily expected for
several days, occurred Sunday evening at ten minutes past ten o'clock at her
home in this city. It marked the
end of a long period of suffering, and in their great bereavement the relatives
have this consolation that their loved one is now beyond all suffering and
earthly misery. Mrs. Wickersham had been a victim of cancer for seven years, and
twice had submitted to an operation for their removal; once from the breast and
once from the ankle. The last one
attacked the stomach about two and one-half years ago, and the patient slowly
declined, all the while making a gallant battle against the odds that could
have but one termination.
Funeral
services were held Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock at the Christian church in
this city, conducted by Rev. J. A. McKenzie, the pastor, assisted by Revs. J.
K. Driver of the Presbyterian Church and Enoch Hill of the Methodist. There was a large attendance,
conspicuous among which was a large number of friends from the vicinity of Guss
and Nodaway. Interment was in the
Villisca cemetery. The short address
by Rev. McKenzie was an eloquent eulogy to the deceased. In the course of his remarks he
embodied the following included in which is a tribute which will find a hearty
response in the hearts of many friends who knew and loved the deceased during
her long residence in this vicinity.
Mrs.
Isaac M. Wickersham [Cornelia
Jane "Jennie" Young] departed
this life July 5, 1908, being at the time of her death 59 years, 5 months and 4
days of age. She was born in Ross
County, Ohio, near Londonderry, in the year of 1849, on the first day of
February. Her marriage to Mr.
Isaac M. Wickersham occurred in
Greenfield, Ohio, in September of the year 1867, she with her husband leaving
Ohio for the state of Iowa in the year 1872. They resided in this state since that time, living near
Guss, Bedford, and for 15 years on a farm near Villisca. To this happy union were born nine
children---six boys and three girls---all of whom are living and grieve the
departure of their sainted mother.
Carry [Cary] T. [homas]
lives in Conway; Mrs. Emma K. Osborn, John Y. [oung], J. [ames] Roy, Russell
C. [ore], Lester E.[arl], Mrs. Erma V. Morris, all of this city; Leighton S. [Samuel Leighton]
of St. Joseph, Mo.; Mrs. B. Shields
of Creston, children of Brother and Sister Wickersham, are present at these
last rites. In her early girlhood
she united with the United Brethren church, and lived in that community until
the year 1892, when she united with the Christian church at Bedford, Iowa. On April 11, 1896, she placed her
membership with the church at this place, where she has been a faithful,
earnest Christian worker, showing her faith by her works. For seven long years she has been a
constant, patient sufferer until God granted surcease of pain and released the
spirit from the tenement of clay.
She was a loyal patriot.
Her love for the flag was near that of her devotion to the high
obligations of mother and Christian.
When
her two sons enlisted in the 61st Iowa, Co. B, and departed for the
Spanish-American war, she kept two flags floating in the window as she prayed
daily for their safe return. One
day one of the flags fell, and she felt that one of her boys had fallen upon
the battlefield. Those were long,
anxious days until the news came that the boys were safe. Her life was full of song, and she was
entirely devoted to her children and each and every one bear the impress of a
good Christian motherÕs life upon them.
She has been to them as the pilot who has placed their hands upon the
divine compass, the word of God; she has led them safely over the perilous
shoals in lifeÕs voyage; she has pointed out the heaven of the New Jerusalem,
and preceded them into the portals that open inward and never outward, and in
that city, whose Architect is God, with beautiful beckoning hands will wait to
call you to heavenly lands. She
was a member of the John A. Logan circle who are here today to pay their
tribute of respect. She wore their
regalia and subscribed to their ritual, but she has gone to join the
innumerable host who have gone to take their chambers in the silent halls of
death and as one that wraps the drapery of their couch about them, she has lain
down to pleasant sleep. Her
regalia will be the white robe and she and her ritual the eternal praises of
the King of Kings.---Villisca Review
