when he removed to their present home in Bedford.
Mr.

are [Harriet] Amanda Allred, Lincoln, Neb., Laura Taylor, Melissa, Frank
and Chas. Hatfield, all residing
in Oklahoma, [William] Arthur Hatfield, whose home is in Taylor County, who with the mother mourn the death
of a kind father and husband.
Mr.

Christian church in, early life, and has ever been a consistent Christian, a
diligent Bible student, ever searching after the truth; was a brave defender of
the gospel.

family will miss his wise Christian counsel and in the minds of his many
friends his name will remain a pleasant memory.

Has Answered the Last
Roll Call.
Leonard
D. Hatfield died at, his home in
Bedford on Tuesday evening, Feb. 13, at 6:15 o'clock, aged 74 years, 10 months
and 3 days.
By
the death of Mr. Hatfield,
Taylor county loses another of her pioneers, —the third to go within a
week, all of whom, for half a century had been familiar figures on the streets
of Bedford. They all came here in the early days of their manhood, and have
given the best years of their lives to the building up of our county.
Leonard
D. Hatfield was born April 10,
1828 [1831] in Parke County, Indiana. When but a lad of 15, he moved with his
parents to Peoria County, Ills., where he remained for about 9 years. In 1852
he removed to Cedar Iowa, where on January 1, 1854, he was united in marriage
to Miss Parintha Phelps. The
next year Mr. and Mrs. Hatfield moved to Taylor County, and bought the farm, which they have ever since owned.
The
wife of his early youth still survives him as do their six children, [Harriet] Amanda Allred of Lincoln, Neb., Laura Taylor, Melissa
Hatfield, Frank and Charles all
of Oklahoma, and [William] Arthur who lives in Taylor county. Three children died
in infancy.
When
in the early sixties, our country's flag was attacked, Mr. Hatfield, donned the blue, and hurried to its defense.
After serving through the war, he was honorably discharged and returned to his
home in Taylor County.
In
early life the deceased became a member of the Christian church and has ever
since remained a consistent and active member; he was a diligent student of the
Holy Writ, a brave defender of the gospel.
The funeral services will
be held today (Friday) at 10 a. m. at the Christian church, conducted by Elder
Wm. Cobb. Interment at Titus cemetery.

Obituary
Parintha
Phelps was born in Hartford
County, Conn., Nov. 14, 1831, where she lived until about four years of age.
She then moved with her parents to Ashtabula, Ohio. Her mother died when she
was six years old, and her father soon moved to Cedar County, Iowa. She kept
house for her father until he married again. She then went to school and taught
school until 1854, when on the first day of January she was married to L. [eonard]
D. Hatfield. They farmed until
1856 when they moved to Taylor County and settled on a farm in Ross Township,
which was their home the greater part of their lives, and where all their
children except the eldest were born.
In
1896 they moved to their residence in the southwest part of Bedford. Here they
lived until the death of Mr. Hatfield, February 13, 1906. In the summer of that year Mrs. Hatfield broke up housekeeping and has since lived with
her children. Mrs. Hatfield died at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. H. [arrison] H. [enry] Hatfield, in Newkirk, Okla., December 26, 1911, aged 80
years, 1 month and 12 days. The cause of death was la grippe.
To Mr. and Mrs. Hatfield were
born nine children, five sons and four daughters, six of whom survive the
mother, three daughters and three sons. They are: Mrs. T. [homas] A. Allred, Lincoln, Neb.; Mrs. Stine Taylor [Laura], Enid, Okla.; Mrs. H.[arrison] H.[enry] Hatfield
[Melissa], Newkirk, Okla. ; Frank, Newkirk, Okla.; Charles,
Hydro, Okla.; [William] Arthur, Bedford, Iowa. Besides these she leaves nine
grandchildren, two great grand children and a niece in Covina, Calif., and a
host of friends to mourn her death.
Aunt
Parintha, as she was familiarly
called, will be sadly missed by many people in Taylor County, as she was loved
by all who knew her. In early life she identified herself with the Christian
church and was a charter member of the First Christian church of Bedford, and
was the last surviving charter member. She has well lived a consistent,
Christian life and always tried to do her Master's will.
Funeral
services were held at the residence of H. [arrison] H. [enry] Hatfield in Newkirk, Dec 27, at 3:30 p. m., conducted by
Elder D. L. Ammens, of the Christian church. The body was taken to Bedford,
Iowa, accompanied by F.[rank] P Hatfield and Stine Taylor.
Funeral services were held at that place in the First Christian church, Dec.
29, at 10:30 a. m., conducted by Elder J. P. Lucas, of Laurens, Iowa, assisted
by Elder Mattox. Interment was in the Titus cemetery.
Dear mother, you are gone
but not forgotten. Oh! How we will miss your loving smile and your gentle
voice. But you are at rest; you are lying by the side of dear father and your
sweet little babes, here you will sleep till the Great Resurrection morn, when
you shall awake in His likeness. We hope to meet you there.

Arthur Hatfield Killed
[William]
Arthur Hatfield was killed and Mrs.
Hatfield was badly injured
Saturday evening when an automobile crashed into the rear of their buggy.
The Hatfield family were residing
on a farm on the north side of No. 8 about a half mile east of Bedford, the
residence being located on top of the hill and being the third house east of
the bridge, this year.
It
seems that Mr. and Mrs. Hatfield had started to Bedford with a team and buggy and had driven out on the paving
and started down the hill when an automobile, going in the same direction,
crashed into them from the rear, killing Mr. Hatfield almost instantly and badly injuring Mrs.
Hatfield, breaking one leg
according to the report. She was taken immediately to a St. Joseph hospital.
P.
O. Townsend, of Bedford, was
driving the automobile and claims he did not see the buggy due to the lights of
a car coming up the hill and going in the opposite direction.
Neither Mr. Townsend nor his companion
were badly injured.

1873. He departed this life on June 10, 1933, aged 59 years, 11 months and 22
days.
He
lived on the farm where he was born until he was 22 years of age, when he moved
with his parents to Bedford. He attended college at Shawnee, Okla., and later
taught school for a number of years. He united with the Church of Christ
several years before coming to Bedford and was active in the work of the
church, teaching in the Sunday school and at one time serving as a deacon.
He
transferred his membership to the Blockton Church of Christ when he moved there
about ten years ago and had not yet transferred it back to the Bedford church,
so at time of his death his membership was at Blockton.
Mr.
Hatfield was united in marriage
with Miss Grace Beson on
December 24, 1900. To this union one son, Russell, born.
Besides
the wife and son, he leaves to mourn his going two brothers, Frank, of Tulsa, Okla., and Charles H., of Hydro, Okla., and one sister, Melissa

Farmer Is Killed In
Wreck Here
Arthur Hatfield Dies; Others Injured
[William]
Arthur Hatfield, 60, farmer
living on the Edna Edmundson farm just east of Bedford, was killed Saturday
night when a car driven by P. O. Townsend of Bedford struck the buggy in which he was coming to Bedford on
highway No. 3 just a short distance from his home.
Mrs.
Hatfield, riding in the buggy
with her husband, received injuries including a broken left leg near the hip;
and cuts and bruises. She was taken to a hospital in St. Joseph where she is
reported to be recovering as well as could be expected.
Meets Another Car
Townsend, driving a Model A Ford sedan, came over the
hill from the east, meeting another car just before striking the Hatfield buggy, the lights blinding him so that he did not
see the buggy. The vehicle was tossed clear of the single horse pulling it, and
torn to bits by the impact. It is believed Hatfield was tossed out and struck the pavement, crushing
his head, dying almost instantly. The Townsend car was extensively damaged by the crash, the
occupants escaping serious injury. With Mr. Townsend were his wife and her sister, Mrs. Wolfe of Topeka, Kans., and Mae Wolfe, a friend.
Townsend was held blameless and the accident called
unavoidable in a coroner's inquest held at the Wetmore Funeral Home Monday
afternoon. In the absence of a county coroner, Dr. P. J. Gustin being on leave
of absence, Justice of the Peace Willis A. Paul acted as coroner. Ed Ahrens, S.
E. Thompson and L. C. Severs served on the coroner's jury.
Funeral
services for Hatfield were
held at the Church of Christ Tuesday afternoon conducted by Rev. J. C. Harris.
Burial was in the Blockton cemetery.

Hatfield was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard
Hatfield and was born on a farm
west of Bedford July 18, 1873. He resided on the farm where he was born until

he attended school at Pawnee, Okla. He taught school for a number of years.
He
was married to Miss Grace Beson December 24, 1900. To them was born one son Russell, who with the wife survives. There are also two
brothers, Frank and Charles and one sister, Melissa Hatfield, all of Oklahoma. He had been a member of the

Hatfield Dies on
Street
Well Known Farmer
Afflicted With Heart Trouble
William
W. Hatfield, who resided four
miles southwest of Bedford, died of heart trouble near the theatre building in
this city Monday. Mr. Hatfield had been afflicted with this weakness and one of his errands in Bedford that
day was too obtain medicine. He was able to be about the streets, however, and
when he was seen lying on the walk it was first thought by those near that he
had slipped on the ice. He was taken at once to Dr. J. P. Standley's office, but life was extinct
by that time. The body was removed to the home. Mr. Hatfield was 61 years of age.
Funeral
services were held at 1 o'clock Wednesday afternoon at the residence, conducted
by Elder W. E. Robb of the First Church of Christ, assisted by Elder William
Cobb. Interment was in the Bedford cemetery.
William W. [iley] Hatfield was born in Illinois December 17, 1853. When he
was four years of age his parents came to Iowa, and soon thereafter to Taylor
county, where he had since resided. In 1881 he was married to Emma Taylor and they were the parents of four children, John
and Elmer Hatfield of Bedford,
and Mrs. Emma John of Bedford
and Mrs. Polly Arnold of Grant
City, Mo. He is also survived by five brothers.
