| 134 | Bedford Free Press, Tuesday April 27, 1915 p. 8 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. | Hale, Edna Josephine (I1849)

| 135 | Bedford Times-Republican, Thursday February 26, 1920 p. 6 Mrs. Wm A. Hale Letha May Houck was born at Bedford, Iowa, Jan. 13, 1861, and departed this life, Feb. 17, 1920. She was married to Wm. A. [sbury] Hale, Nov. 24, 1881. Immediately after their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Hale moved to Clarinda, Iowa, where they remained for 18 months, moving back to Bedford. With the exception of this short stay in Clarinda, all the life of the deceased was spent in Bedford. Six children came to bless the new home, thus established. Olive had but tasted life, when the Master took her home at the age of 24 months. Later three of the children were taken down with the diphtheria, and at this time Edith, nine years of age, was taken. In 1915, Edna, who had entered in her 30th year, who had heroically fought for health for several years, passed out of this life. Mrs. Hale and her family knew what it meant to meet bereavement. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Houck, who made their home with them, left their earthly abiding place, Nov. 1, 1909, and March 1, 1917, respectively. The husband of the deceased, Mr. Wm. A. [sbury] Hale, died in March, 1910. It was the sustaining grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, which kept Mrs. Hale in her spirit of sweetness during these years. To her the words of the poet had their full meaning: My Jesus as thou wile: O may thy will be mine; Into thy hand of love I would my all resign. Through sorrow or through joy, Conduct we as thy own, And help me still to say, My Lord, thy will be done. When a very young lady she identified herself with the Methodist church of Bedford, and was always deeply interested in the church, in the work of the Aid and missionary society, and Sunday school. When her family duties would permit, she was found at her post in the church. In honor of her 59th birthday, she brought her missionary gift to the Sunday school Jan. 16th. Feb. 1, 1920, she was in her place in the church service, this being the last time she was ever away from home. She leaves three children, Alice, Carolyn and Charles; also a brother, Charles E. Houck of San Francisco, to mourn her departure. The entire neighborhood extend their sympathies to the bereft family. Short funeral services were conducted by Rev. John F. Arnold from the south porch of the Hale home Thursday afternoon. Interment [was] in South Lawn cemetery. Thus comes to an end, so far as active service in this life is concerned, the activities of a loving mother, neighbor and friend, but the fruits of her life will go on and multiply in the lives of those left behind and who today are sad because she has gone from among us. | Houck, Letha May (I1840)

| 136 | Beloved Woman Passes Away Sunday Morning. Heavy gloom spread over the community Sunday morning when it was learned that death had claimed one of this section’s most beloved women, Mrs. E.T. [E.P.] Woodson, who for many years was a loyal supporter of the home, the church and her friends. Mrs. Woodson died Sunday morning at the Comanche Hospital after having fought heroically for several days to hold on to life following a serious operation which had been performed as a last effort to save an expiring life. The deceased was 54 years of age and a pioneer resident of Stephens county. She is survived by her husband E.T.[E.P.] Woodson, two sons, Delbert and Harold, and one daughter, Mrs. R.E. Wells. It will be remembered that Harold attracted national attention as a member of the Oklahoma 4-H Club judging team which won the world’s championship in the judging contest held in England a little more than a year ago. Perhaps there has never been a woman whose motherhood reigned more supreme than that of Mrs. Woodson’s, as she was untiring in her efforts in administering to the members of her home circle and was unfailing in her loyalty to friends and other loved ones. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at 2:00 in the First Methodist church with Rev. M.F. Bell officiating. May beautiful floral pieces bore fragrant testimony to the nigh esteem in which this beloved woman was held speaking to her loved ones the sympathy that the saddened friends could not speak. Interment was made at Fairlawn cemetery. The Comanche Reflex, Comanche, Oklahoma. Thursday, 11 September 1930, apge 12. | Gritton, Rosa Bell (I2639)

Obituary (Contributed) Benjamin F. Cline, son of Nathaniel and Cynthia Cline, was born in Blount township,, Jan. 24, 1849. His father, Nathaniel Cline, was a fifer in the 125th Ill., Vol. Inf. Young Benjamin tried three times to get away and join his father's regiment but being the main dependence of his mother, she three times brought him back. On the farm young Benjamin grew to manhood. The loss of his father in the civil war threw upon him the responsibility of assisting his mother to provide for a family of small children and this responsibility he faithfully performed, working very hard clearing up the land for the surrounding farmers. The weather was never so hot or so cold but what his ax awakened the echoes of the surrounding forest. He was known in his community as an honest, upright, persevering boy. At about the age of 18 years he united with the Christian church under the ministry of "Uncle Jimmy" Conners, a pioneer preacher of this county. The Bible became from that day on and was until the time of his death, his rule of action. His chief delight was reading and nature. He delighted in the song of the birds and forest wild flowers. About his humble home were found in summer big beds of flowers, cared for tenderly. About the age of 21, he married Miss Samantha Washburne of Waynetown, Indiana. To this union one child was born, Miss Alice who with her mother still survives him. His life was a benediction to those who know him best. Three sisters and two brothers survive him also. His aged mother died just one year ago to the day of his death. Newspaper clipping from Cora (Gritton) Hedges. No publishing information available. | Cline, Benjamin Franklin (I48)
