bosisto---March
14, 1894, at Cumberland, John C. Bosisto, aged about 38 years.
The
funeral services were held at Iveyville March 16, by Rev. Martin, assisted by
Rev. Harned, and the remains were interred in the Prairie Rose Cemetery. The
remains were accompanied from Cumberland to Iveyville by two brothers of the
deceased, Joseph [Pierce] and Albert [Henry] Bosisto.
The
deceased was born in Wisconsin in [May 14] 1856, and came to Iowa with his
parents, Rev. and Mrs. R. [euben] Bosisto, in 1871, settling near Iveyville. In 1886 he was married to Miss
Anna Burke.
Elsewhere
we publish an article from the Cumberland Courier, giving the sad particulars of the sudden ending
of this useful life. The deceased had lived in Adams County the greater portion
of the time since 1871, and during this long period of time enjoyed the
universal respect of all who knew him.
He
leaves the wife, the five-year-old son; his aged parents, Rev. and Mrs.
R.[euben] Bosisto; two brothers, Joseph
[Pierce] and Albert [Henry] Bosisto of Iveyville, and three sisters, Mrs. E. [dwin] L. [lewellyn] Cundy [Mary
Belle Bosisto], Mrs. H. Smith [Frances Henrietta Bosisto], of Iveyville, and Mrs. Emma [Bosisto] Myattway of Tabor. Words are inadequate to
express the sympathy of this community extended to the bereaved relatives.

A Sad Affair
(Cumberland Courier)
Intense
excitement and bitter grief reigned supreme in Cumberland Wednesday afternoon
about 6 o’clock. Men and women ran to and fro and stared at each other with
white, terror-stricken faces.
J.
[ohn] C. Bosisto, our highly
esteemed and much loved fellow-townsman was stricken down without a moment’s
warning and instantly killed by a stroke of lightning. It appears that Mr.
Bosisto was engaged in burning
some trash in the slough just back of his house when the storm came up. The lightning
struck him in the breast, and passing down his limbs entered the ground,
tearing a great hole in the earth at his feet. His little boy, Ethan, who was standing near him, was knocked down and
remained insensible for some time. It was at first thought that he was
seriously injured but at present writing, we learn that he has almost
completely recovered. Mrs. Bosisto is prostrated with grief. Her heart-rending cries on the evening of the sad
accident were enough to move a heart of stone. She at once received the
tenderest care from her sympathizing neighbors. Her physician informs us that
she is now doing as well as could be expected. However, no tongue can express,
nor pen describe the woe of this desolate and lonely woman. She appeals to our
sympathies in a degree that we should at once realize and with which our
actions should accord.
The
first who reached the stricken man and boy was Jake Smith. He carried the boy
into the house and at once gave the alarm. When more help arrived it was found
that Mr. Bosisto’s clothing
had been set on fire and was burning. The fire was at once extinguished and the
body tenderly cared for.
Drs.
Weaver and Schindel were both absent but Dr. Weaver arrived about 7:30 and at
once proceeded to care for the little boy and his heart-broken mother.
Relatives were at once telegraphed for. A brother of Mr. Bosisto arrived at 9:30 today from Iveyville and we learn
that the father of the deceased is expected on this (Thursday’s) train. A horse
belonging to Dick Jones was killed by the same flash of lightning, and his cow
so badly injured that she may not recover. Mrs. Nolan was badly shocked and her
son Ivan knocked down. Jake Smith was knocked down, and was insensible for a
few moments. Ross Pringey, who stood at Mr. Smith’s door, fell on his knees.
Others in various localities felt the shock in a greater or less degree.
The
body of Mr. Bosisto was taken
by team to Iveyville, Adams county, today by his brother. Rev. Martin and Mrs. Bosisto will follow on the train this (Thursday) afternoon.
The funeral will be preached by Rev. Martin at that place tomorrow. Mr.
Bosisto was an earnest Christian
man, a zealous worker in the M. E. church of this place and was universally
esteemed by all who knew him. We shall give a more extended account of his life
next week.

Husbands, who came here last week
to attend the funeral of his sister, Mrs. Frank Hindman [Mary Evaline
Husbands], returned yesterday to his
home in Fremont County. Mr. Husbands was one of the pioneer settlers of Taylor County and to the Free
Press reporter he related many of
the incidents of the early days among the settlers. He did the mason work on
the first house ever built in what is now the corporate limits of Bedford. The
mason work, he laughingly explained, consisted in chinking up the cracks
between the logs with chunks and clay and in constructing a sod chimney. The
house belonged to a Mr. Fenno,
who later became one of the noted men of the little hamlet that Bedford then
was, and continued to be for several years afterward.

An Old Resident Gone
This
community was called upon the past week to mourn the death of one of its oldest
and long time residents, in the person of Mrs. Elizabeth J. [ackson] Deal
Lindsey, whose death occurred on
last Friday at the Lindsey homestead southwest of Conway.
Mr.
and Mrs. H. [ugh] M. [cCain] Lindsey have
long been residents of this vicinity, having come to this county in the early
days had had much to do in the shaping of the wild prairie land of this part of
the people who now live at ease in splendid farm homes in close proximity with
each other—vastly different from what it was when Mrs. Lindsey landed here in the spring of 1866. The Lindsey home was one of hospitality and Mrs.
Lindsey always had a cheery word
for the visitors who entered her home.
For
a few years past Mrs. Lindsey has been in poor health and was confined to her home the greater part of the
time.
Elizabeth
J. [ackson] Deal was born in
Chambersburg, Pa., on the 16th of March 1830. She resided at that
place until she grew to young womanhood, when she, with her parents, moved to
Knoxville, Ill. She was there united in marriage to Hugh M. [cCain] Lindsey in 1854. To this union were born seven children, three
of whom survive their mother. They are Mary F. [rances] Morgan of near Conway, Iowa, with whom she has made her
home; [Samuel] N. [ewton]
S.[nyder] Lindsey of Tracyton,
Wash.; and Leonard L. [incoln] Lindsey of Chestnutville, Mo.
Mrs.
Lindsey moved with her family
from Illinois to Iowa in the spring of 1866, and live at the old home place all
these years until death removed her hence.
Mrs.
Lindsey never united with any
church but brought up her children in the Christian faith and taught them to be
true men and women in every sense of the word. She was always ready and willing
to help those who were in distress. She lived a good useful life and passed
away Sept. 10, 1920, aged 90 years, 5 months and 24 days.
She
leaves to mourn her departure three children as mentioned; 16 grand children, 7
great grandchildren, two sisters, Mrs. S. [arah] F. [rances] Rogers of Grand Junction, Colo., and Mrs. M. [argaret]
A. [nn] Evans of Chambersburg,
Pa., and a host of friends.
Funeral services were
held at the family home on Tuesday afternoon and she was laid to rest in the
family lot in the Lexington cemetery.
[Note: Illinois Statewide Marriage Index
1763-1900 gives the marriage date as November 15, 1855.]

In Memoriam.
Willis
Clarence Lynch, son of Seneca
and Elizabeth [Swallow] Lynch,
was born May 10th, 1858, in West Acton, Mass., and removed with his parents to
Berwick, Ill., in 1865. He was educated at Redding (M. E.) College, Abingdon,
Ill., and admitted to the bar at Burlington, Iowa, May 5, 1880, at the early
age of 22 and began the practice of law the same year at Mt. Ayr, Iowa.
He
was taken sick whilst visiting his parents in Bedford, February 1881; was
convalescent a few months; took a relapse June 24th and died July 14th, 1882,
of Tuberculosis Meningitis, at the age of 24 years, 2 months and 4 days. The
funeral services were held at the M. E. church and conducted by the pastor,
Rev. W. D, Bennett.
Thus
in the midst of life there is death. He whom we loved so much, whose prospects
in life were so bright, whose ambition was to scale the pinnacle of fame is
gone.
All
was done that could be done to stay the hand of the fell destroyer, but in
vain. The gifted and promising Willis has passed to the other shore. He knew when the fatal hour had come
and whispered, "Friends," again and again, and to you is his last
farewell sent with the glad assurance that he died trusting in the blessed hope
of immortality. Could he speak to you it would be, "Weep not for me."
"Weep not for him! He died in early youth,
Ere hope had lost its rich romantic hues;
When human bosoms seemed the homes of truth.
And earth still gleamed with beauty's radiant
dews.
His summer prime waned not to days that freeze,
His wine of life was not run to the lees;
Weep not for him !"
"Weep not for him! It was not his to feel
The miseries that corrode amassing years,
'Gainst dreams of unfilled bliss the heart to
steal,
To wander sadly down age's vale of tears.
As whirl the withered leaves from friendship’s
tree,
And on earth's wintry world alone to be;
Weep not for him!"
"Weep not for him! His memory is the shrine
Of pleasant thoughts, sweet as the scent of flowers,
Calm as the windless eve, the sun's decline;
Sweet as the song of birds among the bowers,
Rich as a rainbow with its hues of light,
Pure as the moonshine of an autumn's night.
Weep not for me!"
"Weep not for him! There is no cause of woe,
But rather nerve the spirit that it walk
Unshrinkingly o'er the thorny path below.
And from earth's low defilements keep thee back;
So when a few fleet swerving years have flown,
He'll meet thee at Heaven's gate and lead thee on.
Weep not for him!”
