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.

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

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

seventeen year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Scott, living near

parents Sunday and
the funeral was
conducted from the Methodist church Tuesday afternoon. The services were

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,

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.

sister Hazel, and little brother, Billie besides a host of other relatives
