Despondent
Over Health, A. L. Bristow Is Found In His Garage
Was
68 Years Old
Left
Note In His Room, and Was Found Both Shot and Hanging To A Rafter
A.
[lbert] L. Bristow, 68 years old, prominent, well known and highly
respected business man of Bedford, took his life, and was found about
8 o'clock last Sunday morning, hanging to a rafter in the garage at
his home with a bullet hole in his mouth from a rifle that lay on the
ground.
Mr.
Bristow had been in ill health the past few years, suffering from
a malady in the nature of a cancer in the bowels. He was operated on some four years ago. However, since that time his condition gradually grew worse and
it became necessary to go to the hospital again. He sold out his poultry business a few weeks ago, and the time
set to go to the hospital was Monday. This he disliked to do, and remarked often the past two weeks
that if he did, he would never come back.
A.
[lbert] L. Bristow, son of S. [amuel] P. [atterson] and Nancy
N. [Jane Quackenbush] Bristow, was born near Bedford, Iowa, on the
farm now owned by Geo. Irvin, October 10, 1860, and died at his
home in Bedford, Ia., March 18, 1928, at the age of 67 years, 5 months
and 8 days. He was one
of a family of twelve children, all but three of whom grew up, three
dying in infancy. The parents
came from Indiana and settled in Bedford when a blacksmith shop was
all there was of the town.
In
the year 1893, Mr. Bristow removed to Tarkio, Mo., where he lived for
twelve years. During the
time he made his home there he acted as city marshal a number of years
and was mayor of that city for four years.
He
returned to Bedford with his family in 1905 and located on a farm three
and one-half miles east of town. Then in 1918 he came to town and entered into the produce business,
continuing until a few weeks ago, when he sold his interests and retired
from the business.
He
was united in marriage Aug. 26, 1882, to [Ica] Dora Hanlin. To them were born three
children, Mrs. H. [arry] W. Little [Eva Geraldine], Donald [Albert]
Bristow and Mrs. Sammie
Dubin [Madge Evalyn], all of whom survive him and are living in
Bedford. Besides his children
he leaves to mourn his death his wife, two sisters and two brothers,
many other relatives and a host of friends.
Mr.
Bristow was a member of the Taylor County Fair Board and was greatly
interested in the success of that enterprise.
He
was a self-sacrificing man, capable and successful in business and had
many friends in the community.
Short
funeral services were held at the home Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock,
conducted by Rev. G. T. Roberts. Burial was made in the Bedford cemetery.

Mrs.
S. P. Bristow
Miss
Nancy Jane Quackenbush began a long and beautiful career on earth
in Green County, Ind., May 10, 1830.
Here
the early days of her life were spent and when 13 years of age she came
with her parents to Jefferson County, Iowa.
In
1850 she became the wife of the late S. [amuel] P. [atterson] Bristow,
then of Jefferson County, Iowa. In 1860 the splendid couple moved to Taylor
County, where they spent 40 years of happy and useful life together. After the decease of her companion, 28
years ago, she spent her remaining years in and about Bedford.
"Grandma"
Bristow, herself one of nine children, was the mother of 12 children,
seven of whom survive. The
surviving children of this noble mother are: Mr. J.[ohn] C. Bristow, Rensol, Ind.; Mrs. A. [lbert]
A. [lmarion] Newkirk [Amanda Jane], Bedford; Mr. A.[lbert] L.
Bristow, Bedford; Mrs. D. A. Shade, Kansas City, Mo.; Mr.
S. [amuel] N. Bristow, Bedford; Mr. Charlie Bristow, San
Francisco, Cal.; Mr. Alonzo Bristow, Luther, Canada.
These,
all grown to strong manhood and noble womanhood in homes of their own,
perpetuate the name with the principles and virtues for which the name
Bristow stands a synonym.
There
are 25 grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren. A host of friends join the relatives and call her "Blessed."
She
witnessed and had a hand in the growth and development of Bedford, coming
to Taylor County when there was only a blacksmith shop upon the present
town site.
About
60 years ago, Sister Bristow accepted the faith of her Saviour and united
with the First Baptist church of Bedford. To the faith in her Saviour she ever remained true, earnest,
exemplar, devout. A great
home lover, she put the best of her years and energies into her family.
Eighty-eight
and wondrous fair----
Was mother, with her silvery hair,
Upon
her cheek, where bloomed the
rose
In
other days, the lily blooms
In
purity beyond compare.
To
see her children becoming useful in the world, reclaiming the lost,
healing the sick, pitying the ignorant, this is a mother's recompense. That will be ointment to soothe the aching
limbs of decrepitude and "light up the closing hours of life's
day with the glories of an autumnal sunset."
Mrs.
Bristow lived well. Life
held much for her. Into
life she put much. Out
of life she received much. Keen,
alert, sensitive, a retentive mind and responding memory, she lived
each day of her many years.
Mother
Bristow, (Grandma), has ceased from her labors and her works follow
on. The end came Sunday morning, March 2,
1919, at the home of her son, Mr. Samuel N. Bristow, in northwest
Bedford, after a week of acute illness.
She
has entered into her "Sabbath" of eternal rest. Peace be to her ashes.
