DEATH PREVENTS
ANNIVERSARY PLANS
GEO. DUGAN DIES ON EVE OF GOLDEN WEDDING
Fails to Realize One
of Life's Cherished Ambitions—Funeral Services Held Monday
Afternoon—Burial Made at Graceland-Cemetery.
Last
Sunday would have marked the fiftieth wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs.
George Dugan, living in the north
part of Bedford. George Dugan,
though ill, had looked forward to, for many months, the celebrating of the
event of having passed fifty years of happy and congenial married life with his
beloved wife. Plans had been made for the event but on Saturday Mr. Dugan passed away, failing to live out one of his
cherished ambitions.
The
funeral services were held at the home Monday afternoon at 2:30 conducted by
Rev. L. P. Goodwin and was limited to the immediate relatives on account of the
quarantine. Burial was made in the Graceland cemetery, west of Bedford.
The
following obituary was read at the services:
George
Dugan was born November 27th,
1843 in McDonough County, Illinois and entered into the rest, "which
remaineth for the people of God", October 19, 1918, at the age of 74
years, 10 months, and 22 days.
Altho'
born in McDonough county, he grew up in Stark County, Illinois, acquiring his
early education in the schools of that county and later attending Toulon
Seminary. In June 1861 he heard the call of his country and enlisted in Company
B of the 19th Illinois Infantry. His regiment became a part of the Army of the
Cumberland and in the first battle in which he participated, that of Stone
River, he was wounded in the right hand by an enemy bullet. He was discharged
on account of this injury at Louisville, Kentucky and returned home but in 1863
he re-enlisted and was assigned to Company H, 139th Illinois
Infantry. He went south to Cairo and did guard duty in Southern Illinois and
Missouri. He was mustered out at Peoria, Ill. in 1865 and returned to his home.
Again in the closing year of the war, he enlisted once more, this time in 151st
Illinois Infantry. He was sent to the South and in the long march from
Nashville to Murfreesboro became ill of exposure and hardship, and altho' he
was later sent south to Dalton, he was unfitted for duty and was honorably
discharged at Camp Butler. He returned to his home and spent a year or so
recuperating his impaired health and regaining his strength.
On
the 20th of October 1868 he was united in marriage with Miss Happylona [Mary
Happilona] Parish in Stark
County, Ill. They located on a farm south of Toulon where he remained until
1882. In the spring of that year he came to Taylor County where he purchased
land in Washington and Benton townships. Here he continued successful farming
until 1901 when he retired and moved to Bedford. Here he has since made his
home.
Brother
and Sister Dugan's home has been blest with eleven children, six of whom
survive their father, one son, Thomas Dugan, who lives on the home farm, and four daughters, Mrs.
Cynthia Timberlake, of Mason
township; Mrs. Mary Holmes of
Canada; Mrs. Grace Miller, of
Conway; and Mrs. Theo Bell Masters, of Willard, Colorado. One daughter, Mrs. Alice O'Dell, one son Archie, and four children who died in infancy all
preceded their father in death. Besides the bereaved wife and the five
surviving children, two sisters, Mrs. Fidelia McMillen, of Nickerson, Kansas and Mrs. Laura Caldwell, of Osceola, Neb. and sixteen grandchildren,
unite with other relatives and friends in mourning his departure. Two grandsons
have given service in the present war, Louie O'Dell, who gave his life in France July 15th 1918 and Harry
O'Dell, who has been in France
for more than four months. One granddaughter, Happie O'Dell, has made her home with her grandparents for 12
or 13 years and has been like a daughter in the family. During her
grandfather's last illness, she has ministered to him thru months of sickness
with patient tenderness, and devotion.
Sunday,
the 20th of October, would have been the Golden Wedding Anniversary of Brother
and Sister Dugan. Plans have been
made to fittingly celebrate that event and Brother Dugan was looking forward to the day with great
anticipation. He hoped that he might live long enough to join in the happy
gathering planned for that day but the Heavenly Father called and Brother
Dugan is in the presence of the
King. Some day, in the glad reunion, they may all celebrate in the Father's
house.
Brother
Dugan was converted in the early
spring of 1886 and united with the Gilead Methodist Episcopal church, in Benton
Township. Upon his removal to Bedford he brought his fellowship to the local
church of which he has been a faithful loyal member. Serving for years as an
official member of the church, devoted to every department of the church work, Brother
Dugan gave his best to the
Kingdom. A man of strong convictions, openly and fearlessly expressed yet
behind all the genuiness of a strong personal character, and withal a kindly
heart, Brother Dugan was a man
to be trusted and loved. With him duty was never lightly borne nor
responsibility indifferently shirked. He leaves the memory of a strong,
upright, worthy life.
Mr. Dugan also was a member of the Masonic Order and with
his wife a member of the Eastern Star. He was a member of the Local Grand Army
Post and had a wide personal acquaintance. A good man and faithful one has gone
to his reward.

L.
[aban] N. [M.] Dugan, who for a
short time has been in the hospital at the Soldier’s Home at Marshalltown, died
Saturday April 3rd and the remains were brought to Bedford Monday morning
by his daughters, Mrs. Ella Thompson and Mrs. Laura Boyd,
who lives near Hopkins.
Funeral
services were held from the Baptist church at 1:30 p. m. Monday conducted by
the pastor, Rev. C. C. Hatcher. Interment was in Fairview Cemetery, at which
time the Masonic Fraternity, of which deceased was an old and respected member
had charge and attended to the last rites with their ritualistic service.
Deceased
enlisted in the service of his country during the Civil War, but served but a
short time, being discharged on account of ill health. He came to this county
in 1878, residing on a farm Southwest of town for several years after which he
moved to town where he lived until the death of Mrs. Dugan several years ago, since which time he has lived
with his daughters. He had a severe spell of sickness last fall from which he
never gained his former strength and becoming practically helpless during the
winter he thought best to go to the hospital at Marshalltown for a time, where
he could have the benefit of expert care. When his condition became critical Mrs.
Thompson and Mrs. Boyd went to Marshalltown and were with him at the
time of his death. He is survived by the two daughters mentioned and Mrs.
Josie Farrow, of Salem, Oregon,
who was unable to come in response to the message announcing the death of her
father.
He is also survived by
two sisters and a brother, the latter, George Dugan living here.

Obituary Mrs. Dugan.
Happylona
[Mary Happilona] Parish was born
Dec. 31, 1848, near Toulon, Ill., and entered into rest April 2, 1924, at
Bedford, Iowa. She was a little more than seventy-five years of age.
At
nine years of age she moved with her parents to Toulon. Here she grew to young
womanhood and here she secured her education.
She
was married to George Dugan on
October 20, 1868. Her husband had but recently returned from service in the war
of the ‘60s. After their marriage they located on a farm south of Toulon where
they made their home until 1882. In the spring of that year they moved to their
farm northwest of Bedford where they made their home until 1901. At that time
they retired from their farm and Bedford has been their home since retirement.
Her husband, George Dugan,
died on October 19, 1918, just the day before their fiftieth wedding
anniversary.
Eleven
children were born to them, five of whom survive their mother, one son Thomas who lives on the home farm northwest of town, and
four daughters, Mrs. Cynthia Timberlake of Mason township; Mrs. Mary Holmes of Canada; Mrs. Grace Miller of Conway; Mrs. Theo Bell Masters of Willard, Colorado. There are seventeen
grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren. Sister Dugan has one sister living, Mrs. Cynthia Burns of Fairmont, Neb. Three sisters and five brothers
have gone on before her.
The Dugan home was a Christian
home. When Sister Dugan was
about 15 years of age, she united with the Methodist church. She has been a
Christian and a Methodist for 60 years. She first united with the Methodist
church at Toulon, Ill. then transferred her membership to the Gilead church
when she came to Iowa, and later to the Methodist church here. Her life has
been a consistent Christian life. Her children have learned to walk the
Christian pathway and to trust in their mother’s God. From that kind of a home
comes true manhood and womanhood.
Sister
Dugan had not been strong for
some time. She realized that she had to conserve her strength. But even her
children did not feel uneasy about her condition until last Sunday. A slight
cold which she had contracted quickly developed into pneumonia and at her age
it was not possible for her to throw off the disease. Death came quietly as the
morning broke on last Wednesday.

Obituary
The
many friends of Father Dugan were
hoping last week when we went to press that he would recover from his sickness,
as he seemed much better at that time, but Friday afternoon his disease took a
turn for the worst and Sunday morning he died.
Father
Dugan had been a resident of
Osceola for a number of years, and had many warm friends. He was a good
neighbor, a faithful friend, and a kind husband and father. The funeral was
held at the family residence Monday at 2 p. m., Rev. VanGieson, of the
Presbyterian Church, conducting the service. A large number of friends were in
attendance, the house being filled to overflowing, many were unable to get
inside, and the procession of vehicles which followed the remains to the
cemetery was a long one. His relatives have the warm sympathy of a large circle
of friends in their bereavement.
Thos. Dugan was born in Hartford, Turnbull county, O., Nov.
20, 1813. He was married to Maryett C. Aldrich, Jan. 3,1833. Of this union were born 11
children, 21 grandchildren and 28 great grandchildren. His wife passed away at
Toulon, Stark County, Ill., May 10,1881. March 1, 1888, he was again married to Elizabeth Jones, who still survives
him. At his death he was 80 years, 1 month and 17 days of age. —
Osceola,
Neb., Record.
Mr.
Dugan was the father of Mrs.
Abe McMillen [Fidelia], and L.
[aban] M. and Geo. Dugan. He died
a triumphant death, trusting in Christ and was likened to a shock of grain
ready for the harvest.

William
Earl Ewart, son of John and
Mary Jane [Peterson] Ewart, was
born in Worth County, Mo., Oct. 9, 1877, and departed this life from the
Lorimor Hospital in Ft. Collins, Colo., Tuesday, July 23, 1929, at the age of
52 years, 8 months and 22 days. Mr. Ewart has spent his entire life in the counties of Worth in Missouri, and
Taylor in Iowa. In these two counties he has gathered about him a host of
loving friends, who will miss him as a friend and as a neighbor. On Sept. 22nd,
1898, he was united in marriage to Miss Evalora Lantz, and to this happy union six children were born
as follows: 4 daughters and 2 sons: Laverna, who preceded her father in death in 1915; Walter of Ft. Collins, Colo.; Mrs. Ray Garner of Bedford; Mary and John at home, and Mrs. Bruce Wolverton of Denver, Colo. Those left to mourn his leave
taking are as follows: his wife, Mrs. Earl Ewart, the five living children as mentioned above,
three brothers and three grandchildren. Mr. Ewart was very fond of his grandchildren and loved them
as his own. Mr. Ewart united
with the Baptist church in Athelstan, Iowa, and was a member of the local
church through the Forest Grove Mission at the time of his death. We are to
appreciate the splendid manner in which Brother Ewart bore his months of suffering. In no case was he
willing to complain with his lot in life and met each painful situation with a
smile rather than a murmur or a complaint. He fought the good fight of faith
with love toward all and malice toward none. He was at one time a member of the
Odd Fellows’ lodge, and appreciated by that order. We will, along with the
family and loved ones, accept the departure of this husband and father as a
matter of God’s will and not our own being done.
The
funeral services were held at the Baptist church Saturday afternoon at 1:00
o’clock, conducted by Rev. Clark M. Crowell. Interment was made at Isadora.
