Community Shocked
Wednesday
morning about 9 o'clock work was sent out over the city that Mrs. R.[obert]
P. [arker] Smith was dying. It
come as a thunder bolt from a clear sky, as she was apparently in the best of
health and feeling good. She attended the services Tuesday evening, and was
cheerful, no one thinking that the end was so near. The end came without the
least warning. She was up and around in her usual health when she was stricken
about nine o'clock from which she never rallied, but passed away about 10
o'clock.
This
good woman will be missed not only by her immediate family, but by the entire
community and we might say the county, as she was an active member of several
orders and President of the Woman's Relief Corps. She was always cheerful and
ready to do her part.
As
we go to press no arrangements have been made for the funeral. We will give a
full obituary in our Tuesday issue.

Obituary
Matilda
Caroline White, daughter of Isabelle
and John White, was born November
8th, 1853, in Licking County, Ohio. She was one of a family of eleven children
and was the last to receive the summons.
She
was married to Robert Parker Smith,
January 21, 1877, at Lineville, Ohio, and soon came with her husband to this
county where she has since made her home. Mr. Smith was a veteran of the Civil War and was a prisoner
in three of the southern prisons, having been in Andersonville over a year. No
doubt the privations and hardships suffered during the war hastened his death
for he passed away April 1st, 1901.
Two
children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Smith, both of whom, Mrs. Bess Fuller and Clyde [Parker],
are prominent members of our community life. One other son of Mr. Smith from a former marriage resides in Oklahoma.
Mrs.
Smith was very active in all
forms of civic welfare and her advice, counsel and leadership were constantly
sought in society, church and lodge.
She
was president of the W. R. C. and also a state officer of that order. She was
past noble grand of the Rebekah Lodge, and had been Aid Society president in
former years.
She
has been a member of the Methodist Church for many years and was loyal and
devoted to its every interest. She was a constant attendant at Sunday School
and was almost invariably present and on time.
Her
loyalty and devotion were evidenced in every good work, and her enthusiasm and
cheerfulness was always a tonic to her friends and her presence was welcomed
everywhere.
She
was active and energetic to the very last, having attended church the evening
previous to her death and even that very morning she had been engaged in her
regular household duties.
But
for her, death had no terrors and with only the halting of an hour amid the
activities of this life she passed at once to the home not made with hands
eternal in the heavens.
No time for a last farewell,
No time for the shock of fear
Scarcely a moment's halt on the
shore,
With the guide and the boatman
near—
Dear, how surprised you were to
go,
With little to suffer, little to
know.
Only a moment of dark
A dream of the fleeting night,
And then the beautiful break of
day
And the quiet peace of light;
And you found yourself where
you longed to stand,
In the repose of the fatherland.
The
close of this earthly life came about ten o'clock Wednesday, January 10.

AT REST
The
mortal body of R. [obert] P. [arker] Smith rests in mother earth, but the joyous, happy, liberated, ever living
spirit is at rest with the Father. No more pain, no more waiting, longing and
watching for the summons of his Maker. A rest and peace made more glorious by
the pain and anguish through which he passed in life. Glorified redeemed and
forever at rest. What a blessed, glorious change. Then why mourn his departure?
Why wish him back amid the sordid things of mortality? For months, nay, years, Mr.
Smith suffered death many times
ant yet was permitted to live on, a monument of God's love. He patiently
endured affliction. Suffered yet murmured not. In resignation to his Father's
will he gave token of perfect submission. His example of simple trusting faith
will leave its impress on all who knew him. His was an example worthy of
imitation.
Mr.
Smith's death was not unexpected and many times previous to his demise did
those watching over him think his last hour had come. But he lingered on until
the hour of 9:30 Monday morning, April 1, 1901, when he breathed his last on
earth.
The
funeral services were conducted at the home at 2 o'clock p. m. Tuesday by Revs.
A. H. Collins and D. W. Griffith. Words of consolation and hope were spoken
that were calculated to encourage the bereaved ones to look onward and upward
to a higher power. The Woman’s Relief Corps and G. A. R. assisted in the
ceremonies. The body was laid to rest in the Fairview cemetery, to await the call
of the last trumpet.
Robert
Parker Smith was born in Belmont
County, Ohio, January 7, 1843, and died in Bedford, Iowa, Monday morning, April
1, 1901, aged 58 years, 2 months and 34 days. He was first married in 1856 to Phoebe
Mackintyre, to which union were
born four children: John W., Edson, Luella, now Mrs. Rhinehart, and Ora, deceased. He was married a second time in 1877 in Ohio to Matilda
[Caroline] White, and to them
were born two children, Bertha,
now Mrs. R. H Fuller, and Clyde
[Parker]. These with the children
of his former wife survive him.
Mr.
Smith enlisted in the service of
his country in the 3d West Virginia Cavalry in 1861. He was captured during the
war and spent 14 months in the prisons of Belle Isle, Libby and Andersonville.
Nearly all the time was spent in the latter. He was discharged in January 1865.
He
united with the M. E. church in 1865. He removed to Taylor County in 1886. A
brother beloved, a patriot and affectionate friend, an honored husband and
father has been translated into Heaven.

Charles
Edward Wintermute was the son of Jesse
Hampton and Bertha Shapley

home east of Bedford. He was the third of six children, all of whom survive.
They are [William] Earl, Pomona, CA; Eula Masters, Mapleton, IA; Angelyn Vanderbur, Colorado Springs, CO; Hampton, Maryville, MO; Gertrude Livingston, Fort Myers, FL.
He
attended schools in Gay Township, Blockton High School and Bedford High School.
He was graduated from Bedford in the Class of 1925 along with his future wife, Ruby
Jones, who survives.
He
began his farming career on the family farm near Conway that was homesteaded by
his grandfather, and where he and Ruby established their home after their marriage on April 14,1928.
Charles and Ruby are the parents of six children: Louise Dukes, Bedford; Dr. Dean Wintermute, Rusk, TX; Helen
Moon, Tegucigalpa, Honduras; Don, DeSoto, MO; Bertha Turner Knotts, Tequesta, FL; Jesse, Branson, MO. Their family also includes 25
grandchildren and 40 great-grandchildren. The spouses of the descendents are a
much loved part of the family too.
Charles was a farmer who genuinely enjoyed planting,
tending and harvesting, seeing the crops grow, and conserving the soil. He took
pride in his draft horses early in his career, but was eager to try new ways
and better farming practices as they developed. After retirement the man who
didn't know a petunia from a radish transferred his farming skills from broad
fields to flower and vegetable gardening, which gave him his pleasure. After
his retirement Charles,
decided to learn to ride the bicycle, play the organ and play pool. He
conquered the pool cue and the bicycle. His children, grandchildren and friends
remember his basement poolroom where they spent many happy hours.
During
their nearly 68 years together Charles and Ruby farmed
near Blockton and at Guilford, MO., and retired in Bedford. He moved to Bedford
Manor in 1993. He was a member of the Bedford United Methodist Church.
