Humphrey, Joseph Henry  -

It is with deep regret that The Time-Table chronicles the death of J. H. Humphrey, of Bedford, who passed away in the Iowa Lutheran hospital in Des Moines, at 12:53 Tuesday morning.

Mr. Humphrey passed through a serious operation on January 2, and practically no hope was given by the attending surgeons.

Mr. Humphrey lived in Lenox for many years where he was an active member of the United Presbyterian church.  He was for two terms sheriff of Taylor county and filled the office most capably. Although past seventy years of age, Mr. Humphrey was a candidate at the June primaries for the same office. He made a most active campaign and had many loyal supporters. Every one who spoke of him had only good things to say and had he been a younger man

it would have been a close contest.

The funeral will be held today, Thursday, at ten o'clock in Bedford. The body will be brought to this city on the 1:24 train Thursday and burial will be made

in Fairview cemetery. A short service will be held at the United Presbyterian church about 1:30.

McCoun, Leonard T. -

There are many old friends of Hon. L. T. McCoun among Time-Table readers, who will be grieved to learn of his death Sunday evening, December 23rd, at his home in Bedford. He was probably the oldest practicing lawyer in the State of Iowa, having followed his profession in Taylor county for 65 years. In his younger days he was considered one of the best criminal lawyers in this section of the country.

Mr. McCoun was a veteran of the Mexican war and the Civil war.  He leaves a -wife and one daughter.  Military honors were accorded at the funeral.

The following history of Mr. McCoun was written by himself recently:

Leonard T. McCoun.

I am a native of Kentucky and born in Woodford county, May 6, 1832. My parents were of Scotch descent.

I accompanied my parents when ten years of age to their new home near Danville, Indiana, and what education I received was in the public school and seminary at Danville.

I was twelve years old when my father died and when sixteen I enlisted in the regular army and went as a recruit to Vera Crux and was assigned to Company E of the Second regular infantry, under command of Col. Riley and General Lyon of Civil War fame was at that time first lieutenant and was breveted captain.

In 1856 I came to Bedford, but did not locate until one year later when I opened my law office and have been practicing law continually since that date except while in the Civil War.

At the beginning of the Civil war there were many raids in southern Iowa and great uneasiness felt by the citizens of Bedford and vicinity, so we formed a local company and I was selected captain and several times pursued the

retreating invaders and on one occasion while some were trying to ascertain the legal right to cross the Missouri line we led the company almost within sight of St. Joseph, Mo., and discussed the right afterwards.

In 1862 I raised a company at Bedford, which became known as Company C of the Fourth Missouri cavalry. The company went to St. Joseph, Mo., and joined the regiment. I was selected as captain but had to resign after one year's

service on account of my health.

While at home in Bedford in the fall of 1863,I was selected Captain of Company B of the border brigade and served until the following May.

I helped raised Company D of the Forty-sixth Iowa Volunteers infantry and was with it during its time of service—one hundred days. Col. D. B. Henderson, afterwards speaker of the National House was my commander.

I think I am the oldest practicing lawyer in Iowa and have been in some warmly contested cases in Iowa and the middle west and at times lost some cases I thought I should have won and at other times won some cases when the opposing council said should of been reversed.

Am a member of the Christian church, A. F. & A. M. lodge and Segwick G. A. R. post in Bedford.

I was a member of the twelfth and thirteenth General Assembly of Iowa and saw some stormy sessions as a pioneer law maker; was county prosecutor for two terms in Taylor county and had a part in bringing some noted criminals

to justice and afterward defended others probably just as bad, winning some cases and losing others.

Have seen Iowa come from the condition the white man found it, when the Indians roamed over the virgin prairies without roads or railroads, churches nor school houses up to its present condition.

I owned some farm land and farmed some, but always preferred to practice law and was most happy when I won a hard fought legal battle.

If I live until the 6th day of May I will be ninety-five years old and still have my name in the bar docket of Taylor county, with some business.
