SALLY KAY
(CAMPBELL) ANGEL
Sally
Angel, age 57, passed away
Monday, December 4, 2000, in St. Louis, Missouri, from an accident on her way
home from work. She was hit by a trash truck while she was walking to catch a
bus. Funeral services were held at 10:00 a.m., December 8, 2000 at White-Mullen
Mortuary, St. Louis, Missouri with Rev. A. M. Ferguson officiating. Burial will
be in Graceland Cemetery at Bedford, Iowa.
Sally
Kay Campbell was born April
18,1943 in Bedford, Iowa to Albert [Edward] and [Dorothy] Idros Campbell. Upon graduation from high school, Sally moved to
Des Moines. She married and divorced and to this union a daughter, Storm was born. She later moved to St. Louis where she
worked for Jefferson Metals in St. Louis for 20 years. After moving to St.
Louis, she met and married Sam Angel and they divorced later.
She
was remembered by family and community because she was constantly adopting
people from the nursing home. She took them magazines, writing letters, or take
whatever they needed to them. She was a pack rat because she would always say,
"Someone could use that". A granddaughter remembers that you could
always know where grandma had been because she would leave behind one of her
books. She educated herself continually with books. She even read four of
Lyndsay’s Harry Potter books. It takes a pretty cool grandma to read her
granddaughters book to see just what all the brew was about. She was involved
in Jobs Daughters and active in her church.
Sally was a loving and giving person.
After Storm divorced, she made
her home with Sally. Her
granddaughters were her greatest joy. None of us are ever ready to say good-bye
to a loved one, no matter what the circumstances, but added to the pain of loss
is the frustration of how she died. She did not die of old age. She did not die
of cancer or a heart attack. Her life was cut short by an accident.
Survivors
include her loving daughter, Storm Mayo and beloved granddaughters, Erin and Lyndsay Mayo; stepson, Rick (Margaret) Angel; step-grandsons, James and Jason Angel; sister, Ramona Campbell Halbert and family of Lexington, KY; brother-in-law, Don
Ratekin and family of Ashville,
NC; sister-in-law, Joann Campbell and family of Waterloo, LA; cousin, Enola Lowry, Bedford, IA.
Preceding Sally in death are her
parents, Albert and Idros Campbell;
sister, Ailee Ratekin; brother, Albert Jr.; brother-in-law, John
B. Halbert.
Those
attending from out of town were her sister, Ramona Halbert, brother-in-law, Don Ratekin, and life long friend, Darlene and Harold
Beadel, Buckner, Missouri.

MAX CLARY BURNS
Funeral
services for Max Burns, age 86
of O' Fallon, Illinois, were held Monday, January 8, 2001 at 11:00 a.m. at the
Ritchie Funeral Home in Bedford with Pastor Ted DeHass officiating. Interment
was held in the Fairview Cemetery in Bedford. Memorials can be given in his
name.
Max
Clary Burns, the son of Newton
Oliver Burns and Norma Ruth
Clary, was born on July 22, 1914,
near Sheridan, Missouri. When Max was the age of five, his family moved across the border into Taylor County,
Iowa, where he grew up on a farm south and east of Bedford. He married Fern
Tribolet on December 29, 1932,
and to this union a son, William,
was born. During the next ten years Max lived in many different places and worked in almost as many different
occupations. He farmed in Southwest Iowa, and then moved to Omaha, Nebraska,
where he worked in a packinghouse and, for a short time, operated a used car
business. During the 1940s, Max moved several times between Iowa and the West Coast. During World War II, Max helped build military ships in California and a
few years later spent a short time working in a silver mine and as a lumberjack
in the Pacific Northwest. In November of 1954, Max married Hazel Nelson and to this couple were born two sons, John and Michael. Also in 1954, Max found his life's occupation as a boilermaker for
Nooter Corporation of St. Louis, Missouri. Max soon worked his way up to become a site foreman
for Nooter on projects constructing sulfuric acid plants. He worked at sites
all over the United States and even into Canada, helping build 21 of the giant
plants during his career. On October 13, 1960, Max married Grace Provenzano and the couple later made their home near
O'Fallon, Illinois. After a serious back injury suffered on the job, Nooter
moved Max into a corporate
office in St. Louis, where he used his experience to draft procedural guidance
for field technicians. Max retired
from Nooter Corporation with more than 30 years of service and spent his later
years tending his acreage near O'Fallon, Illinois.
Max was a member of the Masonic Lodge
of Kansas City, Missouri; the Moose Lodge of Dupo, Illinois; and the Freemason
Shriners. He was affiliated with the First Christian Church.
Max was preceded in death by his father and mother, Newton
and Norma Burns, a son, William
Burns; brothers, Rex, Luther,
Donald, and Francis Burns; and a

Obituary – J.
M. Fairbanks
James
M. Fairbanks, son of Levi
[Wesley] and Nancy Champion Fairbanks,
was born in Henry County, Illinois, February 29, 1868, and died at his home in
Benton Township, May 26, 1949, aged 81 years, 2 months, 27 days. At an early
age he came with his parents to Taylor County, where he had lived the major
part of his life, although in his youth he lived for a time in Oklahoma,
Nebraska and Illinois.
At
the opening of the Cherokee Strip in 1888, together with a sister, he rode to
secure a claim in which quest both were successful, but Mr. Fairbanks relinquished his claim because only one could be
held in a family. He was of a family of twelve children, nine of whom preceded
him in death.
His
education was secured in the rural schools together with a course at
Chillicothe Business College.
On
December 8, 1897 he was married to Miss Edna Wainright and to them was born one daughter, [Bernice] Maxine.
As
long as he was able he took an active interest in the affairs of his community
and enjoyed the fellowship of the Gilead church for many years. His long life
witnessed many changes and he could remember the making of tallow candles in
his frontier home. He welcomed progress and lived to enjoy many modern
innovations.
For
several years he had not enjoyed good health but his last illness was of short
duration and borne with fortitude.
He
leaves to mourn his passing, his wife of more than half a century; the daughter
and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Merle Travis; two grandsons; Michael and James Travis; three
sisters, Mrs. Tina Kerns of
Verona, Missouri, Mrs. Sylvia [Gertrude] Smith of Glide, Oregon, and Mrs. Eva [Augusta]
Harris of Wagner, Oklahoma.
The
funeral services were held at the Bedford Methodist church Saturday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. Russell G. Nye. Burial was in the Graceland cemetery.

Schrimsher property in the northwest part of town about two months ago. His
funeral and burial occurred Monday at 10 a. m., under the auspices of the

faithful and true friend and a noble man. His three daughters and two sons were

accident at Sidney, Nebr., about midnight last night, according to a telegram
received here this forenoon by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Helm. Helm had been driving for a trucking firm for some
time. No details were received.

Held Helm Rites Here Last Sunday
The
poor condition of Highway No. 19 between Sidney, Nebr., and Dalton, Nebr., is
believed to have been directly responsible for the accident which took the life
of Harley Helm Thursday
morning of last week, according to the write-up of his death in the Sidney
Nebraska Telegraph.
Investigating authorities said the accident happened when the Doge semi-truck
he was driving, struck a section of disintegrating highway, which was under
repair.
Motorists
in a car immediately behind the truck stated that the ‘semi’ appeared to strike
holes in the road with such force that it literally ‘flew into the air.’ Helm was apparently thrown out of the left side of the
cab and pinned underneath the trailer of the truck as it went onto its side in
the left ditch. The truck was empty.
Helm was employed at Scottsbluff, Nebr., and was on
his way back there from Grand Island, where he had delivered a load of
potatoes. The truck was badly damaged.
Funeral services were
held at the Wetmore Funeral Home, Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. George W.
Swan. Burial was in the Graceland cemetery.
Robert
Harley Helm, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Roy Helm was born July 5,
1909 at Bedford, being aged 38 years, 9 months and 5 days at the time of his
death.
He
spent his entire life in Bedford and Scottsbluff, Nebr.
He
attended Bedford High School and died at the occupation of his choice, being
preceded in death by two brothers, Leslie Reed Helm and Ralph Bowers Helm.
He is survived by his
parents, of Bedford. Also four brothers and one sister: Orin Helm and family of Wilmathsville, Mo., Glen Helm and family of Winner, So. Dak., Loran Helm and family of Bedford, W. [illard] E. Helm of Tinker Field, Oklahoma, and Mrs. Hazel
Burch and family of Kansas City,
