Clark, George -

George Clark, well known real estate and insurance man of Bedford, died suddenly in his office Wednesday afternoon. According to the Times-Republican, Mr. Clark had been out in the street in front of his office

pumping up a tire previously and went into his office in the building also occupied by Stephens & Brice. He told the boys that he had a pain in his chest and complained to the extent that a doctor was summoned, and when he arrived Mr. Clark was on the couch in the front room passing away. It was

very evident that an over-exertion pumping up the tire brought about the sudden demise, however the local physician pronounced it a blood clot over the heart.

George Clark had been a lifelong highly respected citizen of Taylor county. He lived at New Market about thirty years and the balance of the time in Bedford,

where he has been very active in selling insurance of all kinds.

Sawyer, Joseph G. -

The body of Joseph G. Sawyer was found hanging from a rafter in the garage at his farm home two miles southeast of Lenox, on Thursday morning about 5:30.  He had evidently adjusted the rope about his neck and stepped off from the fender of the car. Life  was extinct when the body was found.  Mrs. Sawyer had risen, prepared breakfast and when he did not respond to her call she sent his brother, George, who was making his home with them, to the barn to summon him. When he was not found at either barn he started to the garage. The door to the garage was partially open and the body was discovered.

Mr. Sawyer has lived in Lenox  since last August, when he was married to Mrs. Sam Bartrem.  They recently purchased the Walker place and moved there the

first of March, expecting to farm this year. No cause is given other than that Mr. Sawyer was deeply worried for fear he did not understand farming well enough to make a financial success of it, after putting so much money in the

high priced place. He had lived in Omaha practically a life time and knew little about farm life.

On Wednesday he was in both Lenox and Bedford looking after business affairs and settling several small bills. At that time he seemed in his usual frame of mind. He was 44 years of age. He had been married before and has

two daughters, Hope and Faith and a son, Chester, who have been residing with his sisters.  They were present at the funeral, as were his sisters, Mrs. Charles [?]urrier, of Beatrice, Nebr. and May Smith, of Omaha.

the funeral was conducted from the Methodist church Tuesday afternoon. The services were conducted by Rev. W. C. McClelland, of Sharpsburg. Interment was made in the Lenox cemetery.

Miss Scott's death followed two weeks of intense suffering following her accidental burning.  Miss Scott and several other young people had been attending a Y. P. B. party at the Will Cochran home north of Sharpsburg on

the night of Monday, May 9, and just as they left the farm the car ran out of gas. Mr. Cochran then brought them some gasoline in a can and was pouring it into the tank when the accident happened.  Miss Scott and a young man by

the name of Ralph Shell were sitting in the rear seat of the.car. A lantern was being held outside of the car to see to pour the gas, and the strong wind sent some of the fumes into the lantern. An explosion followed.  Mr. Cochran threw the burning oil away but Miss Scott, in her excitement jumped into the flames. Miss Scott and Mr Shell emerged from the. auto, with their clothes burning. Other members of the party immediately began smothering the flames, but before they could be extinguished, Miss Scott was severely burned. She

was taken to the Cochran home and a doctor was called. After administering first aid, she was taken to St. Joseph, where everything possible was done to save her life. All of her burns were below the hips.

Mr. Shell also received several bums but they were not serious.  Mr. Cochran had the skin burned from the back of his hands while fighting the fire.

Scott, Helen Elva -

On May 9th a group of girls with their teachers and members of the W. C. T. U. attended a Y.P. B. meeting at the Wm. Cochran home. They spent a most enjoyable evening and were returning home when the lead pipe stopped

up in the car in which Helen Scott, Florence Faurot, Daisy May Brown and Oma Knot, were riding. Not knowing what the trouble was and thinking they

were out of gas they asked Ralph Schell, who had driven up to get gas for them. He went to the home they had just left. Mr. Cochran put some gas in a kettle and with a lantern went to their assistance. Placing the lantern between Miss Knott and the opening in the. gas tank, he proceeded to pour the gas into the tank. It splashed against the lantern and the gas became ignited. Miss

Knott jumped through the blaze without injury, Miss Fourot escaped but Miss Scott, jumped just as Mr. Cochran threw the burning gas. It saturated her

clothing and also Mr. Schell's, who was standing by the side of Mr. Cochran. Instantly they were ablaze and started to run, but were caught and wrapped in blankets. Miss Scott, who received much the worse injuries, was taken to the Cochran home, a physician called and the following day she was taken to the hospital at St. Joseph. For a while she seemed to be improving, but her

burns were so deep and so much of the flesh was burned that the efforts of the best physicians and nurses were in vain. She passed away at 3:30, after eighteen days of intense suffering.

Mr. Schell's burns have not healed entirely but he is able to be about.

To the memory of Helen, who hath passed from our sight;

Whose presence still lingers, a halo of light.

A light reaching far, from shore to shore--

A union unsevered in the sweet evermore.

'Tis idle to talk of the future,

And rare might have been our tears;

God knew all about it, yet took her

Away from the on-coming years.

God knew all about it—how noble,

How gentle she was and how brave,

How brilliant her possible future,

Yet put her to sleep in the grave.

God knew all about those who loved her.

How bitter their trials must be;

And right through it all He is loving,

And knows so much better than we,

So in the deep darkness we're trusting

One day we shall say "It was well."

God took from her young brow earth's laurels,

And crowned her with earth's immortelles.

Helen Elva Scott, daughter of Walter and Violet Scott, was born April 9, 1911, at Wagoner, Okla., and fell asleep in the Methodist hospital at St. Joseph, May 28, 1927, at the age of 16 years, 1 month and 19 days.

At the age of three months she came with her parents to Iowa to the home a mile north of Sharpsburg, where they now live. She attended school at Sharpsburg and would have been a Junior of the class of 1927-28, being

at the head of her class since entering high school. She was loved by her teachers through her school life, as well as her schoolmates and friends, as she always had a smile and kind for everyone.

At the age of 15 she gave her heart to God and united with the Methodist church of Sharpsburg.  She kept her faith to the last and bore her suffering with the same happy smile that was always on her face, saying God was helping her bear her pain, and cautioning them not to blame anyone for the

accident.

She leaves to mourn her going her father and mother, her elder sister, Faye; her twin sister Hazel, and little brother, Billie besides a host of other relatives

and friends.

The funeral was held May 31st, at the Methodist church, conducted by Rev. W. C. McClelland, of Sharpsburg, assisted by Rev. Delzell, of Conway.
