Friday morning. The funeral services
were held Monday afternoon at the Methodist church in charge of the pastor,
Rev. Levi P. Goodwin, assisted by Rev. C. C. Hatcher and Rev. Lowe. Burial was made in Fairview. The following obituary
was read at the funeral services: Sarah Jane Bray Sarah Jane Bray,
daughter of Jerry [Jeremiah] and Emma [Hadley] Bray, was born in
Hendricks Co., Indiana, April 4th, 1844
and entered into rest at the home of her son. W. [illiam]
E. Fitch, at Bedford, Iowa, February 13th, 1919 at the age of
74 years, 10 months and 9 days. When
about four years of age, her parents removed to Jefferson County, Iowa, and
settled near Fairfield. Her mother
died when she was about 8 years of age.
Her early life was spent in Jefferson County. It was here that on April 18, 1866, she
became the wife of John T. [ownsend] Fitch. To this union were born five children, all
of whom survive their mother, William E. Fitch, of Bedford, Iowa; Chas.
E. Fitch, Bedford, Iowa; Mrs. Frances Bailey, Bedford, Iowa; Mrs.
Mattie [Martha Ellen] Parker, Bedford, Iowa; and Mrs. Mamie King,
Fort Collins, Colo. After
her marriage, she resided in Jefferson County for 2 years, after which they moved
to Dakota County, Nebraska. After a 15
years residence there, the family came to Taylor County, Iowa and settled in
Mason Township, where they remained until about 29 years ago, when they took
up their home in Bedford. Here on Dec.
24th, 1900, her husband passed away. Sister Fitch kept up her own home until a
few years ago but since then had been making her home with her children. In
addition to her immediate family she is survived by two brothers, Calvin
Bray, of Longmont, Colo., and Sanford Bray, Fairfield; one sister,
Mrs. Mattie Coffin of Washington, Iowa; by three half-brothers, Alvin
Bray of Richland, Iowa, Levi Bray of Fairfield, Ia., and Geo.
Bray of Veo, Iowa; and also two half-sisters, Mrs.
Amanda Trail, Fairfield, Ia., and Mrs. Julia Rice of Richland,

and four great grandchildren, and a wide circle of friends, join in mourning

converted when a child and united with the Baptist church at Fairfield,
Iowa. When they removed to Nebraska,
she and her husband put their church memberships in the Methodist Episcopal
church. They brought their letters to
Iowa and on their removal to Bedford became identified with the Bedford
church. She was an earnest, consistent
Christian mother, devoted
to her family and giving herself without reserve to minister to
them. To her the home was the center
of her interest and to make it a model home was her highest ambition. She molded and trained her family by a
positive Christian character, leaving the stamp of her own worthy purpose on
their developing lives. Happy dispositioned, patient and self-sacrificing, her children
may well “rise up to call her
blessed.” Her work is done. Her undying spirit has slipped out and
closed the door of the workshop of clay, for life’s day is over.
She is at home with loved ones in the Father’s house. Bedford Free

Press Thursday July 15, 1909 p. 5 Death of Porter Conder Many
friends were grieved to learn that Porter Conder
had passed away, his death occurring abut 9:30 a.
m., July 13, 1909. Mr. Conder has made many new friends since living in Bedford
as well as retaining his wide circle of old ones. Mr. Conder had
not been in good health for some time and about three weeks ago he was thrown
from his buggy and the injury sustained at that time probably aggravated and
complicated the disease from which he was already suffering, an affliction of
the heart. He told the writer in a
jocular way that he had been suffering with a stiff neck before the accident
but that the fall had evidently done him good, as the stiffness in his neck
had left. We mention this only to show
that Mr. Conder was always inclined to be
optimistic and see the best of everything. The
deceased was born in Jefferson County, Iowa, June 14, 1845. On October 6, 1870, he was united in
marriage to Miss Elizabeth J. [ane] Edwards
and to this union two children were born, Harry and Lesbia, both of whom live in Jackson
Township. In 1875 Mr. Conder came to Taylor County and located in Jackson
Township where he lived upon a farm until moving to Bedford about the first
of the year 1908, and his life was one of sterling honesty and
integrity. He was a kind and
affectionate husband and father, a good neighbor and a true friend. His has been a useful life, and his
friendship is limited only by his circle of acquaintances. In his death the county and the town lose
one of her best citizens. He
leaves to mourn his death a devoted wife, two sons, two brothers and
unnumbered friends. The bereaved have
the sympathy of all. The casket was
open at the home this forenoon, and the funeral is to be held this afternoon
at 2 o’clock from Forest Grove,
conducted by Rev. S. E. Henry and interment will be in Forest Grove cemetery. Bedford Free
Press Wednesday October 1, 1919 [p. 1] Aged Pioneer Died
Monday Samuel J. Dallison
Funeral Held Wednesday Resident of Bedford
For The Past Sixty-five Years----Came Here In 1854----Born In
England---Faithful Member of Baptist Church Samuel J. Dallison, a resident of Bedford the past sixty-five
years, died at his home Monday evening after a protracted illness. The funeral services were held at the home
Wednesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. W. G. Jones, pastor of the Baptist
Church. Interment was made in Bedford
cemetery. Mr.
Dallison was born in Derbyshire, England, January
23, 1834, and came to America when fourteen years of age, settling at
Buffalo, N. Y. In 1854 he came to
Bedford and in 1856 was united in marriage to Miss Frances Feno [Fenno]. The death of Mr. Dallison
marks the end of over sixty-two years of happy married life. He enlisted in the War of the Rebellion and
served for three years, being discharged because of wounds. He became a member of the Baptist church
fifty-nine years ago, most of the time of which he has served as trustee. He
leaves to mourn his loss, a loving wife, Clarence Dallison,
of Dell Rapids, [South Dakota], James Dallison,
Bedford, Mrs. W. [ilberforce] J. [ames] Whiteman [Elfrieda],
Denver, Colo., W. [illiam] T. Dallison, Bedford, Ralph Dallison,
Denver, Colo., and one son, Guy, died in 1910. Mr.
Dallison is one of the pioneers of Bedford, having
lived in the home where he died for the past fifty-four years. Bedford Free
Press Thursday January 14, 1904 [p. 1] Passed To Her Reward “Grandma Dallison,” (her maiden name was Mariah Taft), was
born in the city of Derby, England, November 3d, 1814, and died at the home
of her son, S. [amuel] J. Dallison,
in Bedford, Iowa, January 10, 1904, at 4 a.m.
She was married to Mr. James Dallison
in England. They came to America in
1849, and settled in Trumbell County, Ohio, where
they remained until 1853, when they moved to Minnesota. There Mr. Dallison
died. The widow came to her son in
this city in 1856, and has lived here until her decease. She
was converted when young, but did not unite with any church until two or
three years after coming to this place, when she united with the Bedford
Baptist church and has proven herself a faithful, devoted Christian. She was always ready to help those in
affliction and distress, often hazarding her own life in waiting upon
others. Her pastor bears testimony to
her cheerful hope of the future and although deprived in the last few years
of attending the house of God, she lived in the clear sunlight of trust in
her Redeemer. During her last severe
illness, which was only some seven days duration, she spoke of her longing to
be at home. She spoke of her departure
as a journey home to the presence of her Lord and the company of the saints
in light. Kind
hands ministered to her every want, but her prayer for release from this
tabernacle of clay was answered at the beginning of her 90th
milestone. Like the full, ripe grain
she was ready for the reaper. The
funeral service took place at the Baptist church in this city, Monday,
January 11, 1904, at 2 p. m. A large
company of old settlers, neighbors, and friends gathered to show their esteem
and respect to the family as well as respect to the memory of the departed. Her pastor, assisted by Elder Furgeson, conducted the service. All feel profound sympathy for Mr. and
Mrs. Dallison, who, on account of sickness, could
not be present at the service. The
tribute of flowers was truly beautiful.
The sisters of the Ladies Relief Corps, after the sermon, paid their
tribute to the departed sister in a silent but impressive exercise. Truly it can be said of her, “That she being dead speaketh.”
Interment at Bedford cemetery. [DALLISON, MARIAH TAFT] Bedford Free
