Edna J. Hale
Edna
Josephine Hale, daughter of Wm.
A. [sbury] and Letha [May Houck] Hale,
was born Aug. 22, 1883 [1885] in Bedford, Iowa. She passed away at her home
April 22, 1915, 6:20 p. m., age 29 years, 8 months. Funeral services were held
at the home Saturday afternoon conducted by Rev. J. W. Goodsell. Interment was
made in Fairview cemetery.
Edna has always been a Bedford girl. She went through
the public schools here, graduating with the class of 1904, and has been
associated with the social life of the young people of our community, being one
of the popular girls with both young and old because of her bright, cheerful
disposition. After graduating from the high school, she taught for a year, then
went to Cedar Falls, graduating from there in 1910. After finishing at Cedar
Falls she went to Springville, Iowa, where she had a very successful period of
teaching, having started in on her fifth year in that place. She not only would
have completed the fifth year of her work there but would also have been
entitled to a life certificate if the fatal illness had not fastened itself
upon her. She gave up her work in October, coming home, where she has been with
the loved ones who have ministered so kindly and lovingly to her during the
months of her painful illness. Edna suffered untold agonies, yet through it all she displayed an unusual amount of
courage, being cheerful and jolly and always looking upon the bright side of
her suffering. She submitted to it all with calmness and the end came
peacefully. She leaves to mourn her loss, her mother, Mrs. Letha Hale, two sisters, Alice and Caroline, one brother, Charles, and the grandfather, J. M. Houck. Her grandmother, Mrs. J. M. Houck, her father, and two sisters have preceded her to
the heavenly home. The father died March 1911, the two sisters, Olive, December 1887, and Edith in May 1892. Grandma Houck passed away in 1909.
Edna united with the Methodist Episcopal church August
6, 1899, and has always been a faithful member.
[Note:
Edna is buried in the Bedford City Cemetery, not Bedford Fairview, as stated in
the obituary.]

[HARLEY, ANN DULUTH BORTON]
Bedford Free Press (Bedford, Iowa), Tuesday, January 25, 1916
Mrs. Anna D. Harley – Mrs. Anna D. [uluth] Harley was born in Fulton county, Ohio, September 27, 1848. She was united in marriage with Mr. Samuel Harley, January 12, 1870.
Mr. and Mrs. Harley remained in their home county until 1878, when they came to Taylor county, settling on the farm where they have since resided.
Mrs. Harley was raised a Quaker, her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Job Borton, being of the original Quaker stock.
In early life she was an active member of the Quaker church and always cherished the faith and principles of that body of believers.
She was a devoted mother, untiring in her labor and sacrifice for the welfare of her family. Few extended their sympathy and service to neighbors and friends more acceptably than she. Ready ever, with the cheerful word and skillful hand to nurse the sick and help the needy, she endeared herself to the community in which she lived.
Her interest to others continued to the last hours of her life, patient, smiling, complaining not, but constantly inquiring about others who were sick.
With thoughtful consideration she called her loved ones about her the day before her departure and told them she was going home.
After a short illness with la grippe, which resulted in bronchial pneumonia, she passed away January 12, 1916, on the 46th anniversary of her marriage, aged 67 years, 3 months and 15 days.
Funeral services were held at the home at 1:30, Friday afternoon, January 14th, conducted by Rev. John A. Currie, pastor of the Presbyterian church. Appropriate music was furnished by the Baptist choir. Interment was in the Bedford cemetery.
Mrs. Harley leaves to mourn her departure, the husband, four sons and five daughters, 11 grandchildren and a host of friends. One daughter, Pearl, preceded her to the other world, dying in infancy.
The children are, Levi Harley, S. [amuel] J. [ohn] Harley, David Harley, Bert Harley and Miss Jennie Harley of Bedford; Mrs. Eunice L. Page, Mrs. Anna B. Harley, Mrs. Edith St. Clair, and Mrs. Eva Robinson of Kansas City, all of whom were present at the funeral except the last named, who was dangerously ill at her home.

SAM HARLEY, SR., KILLED.
Body Cut In Two by
Street Car at Kansas City Last Saturday.
Last
Saturday morning Samuel Harley, Jr., received a telegram from Kansas City, stating that his father had
been killed that morning by a streetcar. Mr. Harley had been making his home with his daughter in that
city for some time, and was, we understand, in the habit of going across the
street to visit with an old gentleman who was running a small grocery store.
Saturday morning as usual, he started across the street when a streetcar came
along at the rate of about 50 miles an hour. The car struck him and he fell in
the net which carried him about 50 feet when the net broke, letting his body
fall through under the car, which passed over him, cutting his body completely
in two, right in the presence of his daughter.
At
this writing we have no particulars at hand which would show who was responsible
for this horrible accident. The deceased owned and operated a farm northwest of
Bedford for many years, and is well known by many throughout the county, and
had many friends who will be shocked to hear of his tragic death. The family
have the sympathy of the entire community in their great loss.
Later—The
remains were brought to Bedford Monday night and the funeral was held Tuesday
at the home of his son, Sam Harley,
Jr., after which the remains were laid to rest beside his wife, who preceded
him about three years ago.

A rose bud from earth
In heaven to bloom.
