DEATH BY LIGHTNING
FORMER BEDFORD BOY IS
VICTIM
Jimmie Parker Meets Tragic Death at Belfry, Montana. Remains
Brought Here For Interment.
Last
Wednesday Stephen H. Parker received
a telegram from Belfry, Montana, stating that his youngest son, James, had been struck by lightning and was in a
critical condition. Mr. Parker took the afternoon train for the West, and later in the evening the family
received another message conveying the sad news that James had died. No further particulars were learned
until the arrival Monday evening of Mr. Parker with the body. The following clipping from the
Belfry paper explains the accident:
"A
terrible and extremely sad accident occurred on Wednesday morning a little
after six o'clock, for it must have been about that time when Jimmy Parker, a chore boy working for Mr. and Mrs. Bolivar,
was struck by lightning. Jimmy left at about six o'clock with Brownie, a horse belonging to the hotel, to hunt
the cows, which had strayed away during the night. As he had not returned by 9
o'clock, Mr. Bolivar jumped on a horse and made search on the Bearcreek road.
Not more than a mile from Belfry on a gentle incline his horse suddenly
stopped, and looking about Mr Bolivar, discovered the dead body of the horse,
and about five feet away he found Jimmy lying on his back entirely naked, with the exception of his shoes,
and his body terribly burned but still alive. Like anyone else Mr. Bolivar was
at first at a loss what to do, but realizing that he must get help at once, he
hurried back as fast as his horse would go. At the Holland store he found Mr. Rife
with his automobile, while Dr. Chilcott was in the store. Together with Mrs.
Bolivar and Mr. Ferguson they hurried back, and wrapping the burned body of Jimmy
Parker in blankets brought him
back to the hotel. Dr. Sasse was also called, but both doctors realized at once
that nothing could be done. All agree that rider and horse were struck by
lightning, as quite a number, who were up at that hour, remember seeing a flash
in the direction of Bearcreek. From the fact that Jimmy returned to partial consciousness when brought to
the hotel, it appears that while the horse was killed instantly, the lightning
stroke only stunned him, but set his clothes on fire and he was burned before
returning to consciousness.
James
Parker, or Jimmy as he was called by everybody who knew him, came
to Belfry about five months ago, from Bedford, Iowa, and was a very bright and
industrious young lad. His sister, Annie Parker, arrived only a few days ago and was employed at
the hotel as waitress.
Their
parents have been notified and will arrive today.
The
boy died at 4:15 yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon.
Miss
Stella, who lives in Sheridan,
Wyoming, and who had gone to Belfry on receipt of the news, and Miss Annie, who was there at the time, accompanied their
father with the remains back to Bedford. On their arrival here, the body was
taken directly to the Christian church, where a short service was conducted by
Rev. Mattox.
Many
friends of the family were present to assist in the last sad rites and express
their sympathy to the sorrowing ones.
The
pallbearers were Virgil Kinnison, Harry Rhoads, Will Montgomery, Harry McCoun,
Percy Jaqua and Harold Chamberlain, all friends and schoolmates who had grown
up with Jimmie.
This
death, occurring as it did, suddenly and unexpectedly, just when life was
opening, is especially sad. Jimmie lacked but one day of being eighteen, and his energy and excellent habits, gave
promise of a successful manhood. He was loved by all who knew him here, and we
learn that he had made many friends in his new home, who were greatly shocked
at his tragic death. The grief stricken family have the sympathy of all in
their great bereavement.

TRAGIC DEATH BY

Clothing Torn From
Body by Shock—Remains Are Brought Home For Burial
Last
Wednesday morning S. [tephen] H. [uston] Parker received a telegram from Belfry, Montana, stating
that his youngest son, James,
had been struck by lightning. Mr. Parker started west on the first train. The same afternoon the family here
received another telegram stating that James was dead. No particulars were learned until the arrival
of Mr. Parker Monday
afternoon, with the remains. The particulars of the sad affair are best stated
by the following clipping from last Tuesday's issue of the Carbon County
News, published at Belfry:
"A
terrible and extremely sad accident occurred on Wednesday morning a little
after six o'clock, for it must have been about that time when Jimmy Parker, a chore boy working for Mr. and Mrs. Bolivar,
was struck by lightning. Jimmy left at about six o'clock with Brownie, a horse belonging to the hotel, to hunt

terribly burned but still alive. Like anyone else Mr. Bolivar was at first at a

Parker or Jimmy as he was called by everybody who knew him, came
to Belfry about five months ago, from Bedford, Iowa, and was a very bright and
industrious young lad. His sister, Annie Parker, arrived only a few days ago and was employed at
the hotel as waitress.
Their
parents have been notified and will arrive today.
The
boy died at 4:15 yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon.
The
body was taken from the train to the Christian church, where many friends of
the family were in waiting. Elder Mattox conducted the service, which was full
of consolation and sympathy for the bereaved family after which the body was
laid to rest in the Bedford cemetery. Although there was but short notice of
the funeral arrangements, the church was appropriately decorated with plants,
and the beautiful floral offerings by boyhood friends attesting the esteem in
which James was held.
The
pallbearers were Virgil Kinnison, Harry Rhoads, Will Montgomery, Harry McCoun,
Percy Jaqua and Harold Chamberlin, all schoolmates of the deceased.
Jimmy as he was affectionately called here, was a
general favorite with all who knew him. He was full of energy and two years ago
went out to care for himself.
He
first secured employment in St. Joe, later in Lincoln, Nebraska, then he was
for a while in Denver, from which place he went to Belfry, Montana. Stella his older sister, whose home is in Sheridan,
Wyoming, and Annie who was in
Belfry with him accompanied their father back, and will remain at home for a
short time. The suddenness and tragic manner of this death make it especially
sad, and the bereaved family have the sympathy of all.

John
Elwood Winder
John Elwood Winder, son of John and Sarah [Hutton] Winder, was born at North Lewisburg, Ohio
October 15, 1842, and died at the National Military hospital, at Leavenworth,
Kansas, May 20, 1919, at the age of 70 years, 7 months and 5 days.
He moved with his parents to Kansas when about 15 years of age and
grew up there. On March 12, 1862 he entered the Union army and fought
throughout the war until he was captured by the Confederate army at Tilton,
Ga., Oct. 13, 1864 and was incarcerated in Andersonville prison. John Fitch of
Bedford was his bunkmate through the war and was captured at the same time.
They and R. P. Smith of Bedford were in the prison camp together and they and a
few others in Taylor county for years celebrated on April 28th by a basket
dinner camp fire, etc., the date of their release from the rebel prison. Mr.
Winder was a prisoner for seven months in Andersonville and here his health was
undermined and broken. Had it not been for the tender care and nursing of a
comrade, he never would have lived until his release . The hunger and suffering
of those terrible months left him with health so impaired that he suffered from
the effects as long as he lived. He was mustered out of service at Davenport,
Ia., May 26, 1865.
After the war he went to Johnson County, Kansas. Here on April 13,
1866, he was united in marriage with Minerva Jessup and they moved to Osage county. Seven
children were born to this union, two of whom have preceded their father. The
surviving children are William E. Winder of Des Moines, Ia. Chas. M. Winder of St. Joseph, Mo., Mrs. Sadie
[Gertrude] Lawson of Bedford, Iowa, Mrs. [Letha] Josephine Ellis of Des Moines, Ia., John E. [lmer] Winder of Shawnee, Wyo. Three grandchildren, and also one
brother Thomas [Hayward] Winder of Emporia, Kansas, survive the deceased. The mother passed away
on Jan. 15, 1908.
On March 15, 1910, he was married to Fannie M. [Cotterman] Hodges of Lenox Ia., who survives to mourn
her husband's passing.
Mr. Winder lived in Kansas until about 1884, when the family came
to Iowa, first to Union county, and very shortly after to Taylor County, where
the family for years made their home. Mr. Winder farmed for some years until his
health failed. He filled many public positions for years serving at the state
house in Des Moines in various capacities, such as document clerk, senate
doorkeeper etc. He was deputy sheriff of Taylor County for several years and
held other clerical positions.
About two years ago his health failed and he went to the National
Army hospital at Leavenworth Kan., for treatment but gradually grew worse in
mind and body until death came to relieve his suffering.
Mr. Winder was born of Quaker parentage and trained under those strong
Christian influences. He married a Quaker wife and those influences which
surrounded him were of the positive Christian sort. He united with the
Methodist Episcopal church and remained a member of this church until his
death. In later years failing health prevented active work in the church.
He was a man of high ideals, of exalted conceptions and standards
of life. A great student, he was a prodigious and persistent reader. Generous
in nature, he was identified with all worthy public enterprises. He loved his
country and her flag with an intense devotion; and patriotism was woven into
the very fabric of his being. Greatly devoted to the G.A.R., he was twice
honored by the local post with the position of Commander. He was also at one
time an aid to the national department. He was a man of worthy life and
service.
The funeral
was held at the M.E. church Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock, in charge of Rev.
Levi P. Goodwin. The G.A.R. post and W.R.C. attended in a body. Interment was
made in Bedford cemetery.

Lucien
H. Winder Laid
to Rest in Bedford Cemetery. —The Ceremonies Were Solemn and Impressive.
Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the M. E. church solemn and
impressive obsequies were held over the mortal remains of what once was Lucien
H. Winder, happy,
affectionate, honorable, true and brave. The ceremonies at the church were
conducted by Rev. T. J. Ream, who preached a very comforting, sympathetic
sermon, taking his text from Ecc. 8:8— there is no discharge in that
war."
Elder Ferguson, of the Christian church, offered a most tender,
heartfelt prayer. The bier was draped in the folds of the American flag that Lucien loved so well, and many beautiful
floral offerings gave evidence of love and esteem. The Masons and members of
Co. I each filed into the church in a body and occupied reserved seats, Lucien being a member of both at one time,
but was mustered out of the latter on account of sickness. The church was
filled to nearly its seating capacity, and the procession to the cemetery was a
long one. At the grave the Masons took charge of the remains and held their
impressive ceremonies. After this, the firing squad of Co. I advanced to the
open grave and fired three volleys in salute.
Lucien was a young man whom everybody loved
and respected. He had no enemies. Everybody was his friend. The editor of the Free
Press felt a
brotherly interest in Lucien. At the time his country called for his services he laid down his
"stick and rule" while working for the writer and obeyed the call.
Bruce Flick, a comrade of the deceased, has written the following
OBITUARY
Lucien H. Winder was born in Johnson County, Kansas, March 19, 1876, and removed
to Bedford, Taylor County, Iowa with his parents, Nov. 1885. He learned the
printer's trade and was working in the Free Press office in this city when the trouble
arose between Spain and the United States. On the 26th day of April 1893, he
answered to the call for volunteers, with Co. I of the 3d regiment I. N. G.,
went to Camp McKinley at Des Moines, Iowa, Co. I afterward being mustered in as
Co. I 51st Iowa regiment May 30, 1898. On the 5th of June he left
Des Moines with his regiment for San Francisco, Cal., and went into camp in
camp Merritt. The damp sea air and unhealthful condition of the camp caused
much sickness among the noble boys of the 51st, and many of them were forced to
give up their duties and go to the hospital. Lucien was stricken with tuberculosis and
returned home on a furlough to recuperate. While here the news came that his
regiment would sail for Manila and Lucien immediately returned to California, hoping to accompany
them. The physicians would not allow him to do this however and on the 14th day
of January 1899, he was honorably discharged from the service and returned home
again. Since his discharge Lucien spent several months in Colorado and Texas in an effort to regain
his health but he grew gradually worse until, on the 1st day of February 1902,
at the age of 25 years, 10 months and 18 days, he died at his home in this
city.
His life was honorable, upright and true; he was loved by all who
knew him. One of his comrades of the 51st, a lieutenant in one of the
companies, was heard lately to remark, "Lucien Winder was one of the most popular boys in
the 51st regiment. He was one whose whole soul was in the cause."
Lucien was not allowed the privilege of engaging in active service with his comrades
for his health was destroyed before they sailed for Manila, but loyalty,
patriotism, and love of country were the direct cause of his death.
How sad for one so young to give up his life; yet how grand to
yield it for such a cause.

DUST TO
DUST.
All That
Is Earthly of Lucian H. Winder Is Returned to Mother Earth
From
Monday’s Daily
The twin enemies of mankind--sickness and death—are ever present
among us, and someone is doomed to sorrow; today it is a neighbor, tomorrow it
may be ourselves; and thus the common enemy bands us together in deep sympathy
at their approach.
Today we mourn the death of our mutual friend, Lucian H. Winder, a young man who was held in highest
regard by his comrades and acquaintances. He possessed those traits of
character which insure the esteem and admiration of all who recognize beauty in
clean young manhood.
He was a source of parental pride, a consolation to friends and an
inspiration to his associates. Such as he was he now is, transformed to
harmonize with the eternal fitness of things, while all that was earthly was
today returned to the dust.
The funeral
services were held at the M. E. church, Rev. Ream officiating, at 2 o'clock
this afternoon, and interment took place in the Bedford cemetery. The Masons,
of whom he was an honorable member, took charge of the funeral, and his
comrades of Co. I turned out in a body to see their respected comrade lowered
to his last earthly resting place.

Merritt only a few weeks when he took hemorrhage of the lungs and was sent home
on a furlough. In a short time he was notified that his regiment would
immediately sail for Manila and he made haste to join his comrades, but was
rejected by the physicians and was compelled to see his associates embark for
the scenes of battle, while he was forced to remain behind. On the 14th of
January 1899, he was discharged. He spent several months traveling through
California and Texas, finally returning home, not perceptibly improved in
health.
He has been on the decline ever since, until released by death on

Mrs. J. [ohn] E. [lwood] Winder died at her home in Bedford Wednesday
afternoon, January 15, after an illness of an extended duration from heart
trouble. She was well known here this having been her home for a number of
years.
Miss Minerva Jessup was born November 14, 1842, in Hamilton County, Indiana, and
moved with her parents to Leavenworth County, Kansas, in October 1865. At the
close of the war, on May 13, 1866, she was married to Mr. John E. [lwood]
Winder, in Oskaloosa,
Kansas. To this union seven children were born, two of whom have preceded their
mother to the better world, Orval G. [age] and Lucian H. William B. lives in Des Moines, Chas. M., and John E.[lmer] Jr., and Sadie G. [ertrude] Larrison
[Larison], of
Bedford, and [Letha] Josephine Ellis,
of Ft. Collins, Colo.
Mrs. Winder was a member of the Friends church until about 20 years ago, when
she united with the M. E. church at Gilead in this county, and later with the
First M. E. church of Bedford. She was a strictly domestic woman, thinking only
of her family and their comfort. In her home she was ever kind and affectionate
to her children, and a loving wife to her husband. As a neighbor she was all
that any one could ask, always going out of her way to please and accommodate
others. In the church she was always ready and anxious to help and in all these
circles she will be sadly missed.
The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, in
the M. E. church, conducted by her pastor, Rev. W. M. Dudley and interment will
be in the Fairview cemetery.
