From Suffering to
Rejoicing
Died,
at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Scott Alcorn, Bedford, on Friday morning, May 9, 1902, at
10:30 o'clock, Carl [Karl] S. [ingleton] Alcorn, aged 15 years, 2 months and 15 days. Funeral
services were conducted at the home Saturday afternoon by Elder Lee Ferguson,
assisted by Rev. E. N. Ware. The attendance of friends was very large, and the
floral offerings were beautiful and abundant. After the exercises the little
body was laid to rest in Lexington.
Carl [Karl]
had been a great sufferer for several years, the result of a fall from a horse,
in which his spine was affected. For a long time he could not walk, but for the
past year, although deformed in body, he was enabled to get around nicely, and
hopes were entertained that he would soon recover. But several weeks before his
death he became bedfast, and gradually wasted away and quietly fell asleep in
the arms of his Savior. . Several years ago Carl [Karl] had given his young heart to God, and died in the
blessed promises of a redeeming and forgiving Lord. "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord."

the old homestead at old Lexington, where they lived many years and reared
their family. Early in life she united with the Methodist church, but upon
removal to Bedford, 34 years ago, she became a member of the Presbyterian
Church. She continued true to her faith through many years of infirmities.
Though deprived of church attendance she regularly read her Bible and strictly
observed the Sabbath, usually reading some sermon on that day. "Blessed
are they who die in the Lord! "
Mrs.
Boyd was a devoted mother, and a
kind neighbor; genial in disposition she left the blessings of sunshine on her
pathway. She has entered into that rest with loved ones for whom she had longed.
Her
husband passed on before her August 4, 1914, and she will be interred in
Lexington Cemetery, where she was present at the first burial in that City of

Harley John Dead
Harley
John died at the home of his
mother yesterday morning at about one o'clock, the result of a shotgun wound
received last Thursday. Harley was out hunting and had stopped at a neighbors to get a drink of water. In
setting the gun down it was discharged, the shot striking him in the arm near the
shoulder. The arm was badly shattered and torn, but the doctors decided not to
amputate it. The arm was dressed in the most scientific and skillful manner,
and the patient seemed to be getting along nicely until Tuesday afternoon when
he was taken worse and never rallied from that time until his death.
Harley
[Benton] John was 16 years old,
son of Mrs. [George] Riley John [Emma Cook Jones]. The funeral services will be held at Berea
church at 11 o'clock today, conducted by Elder Wm. Cobb. Interment will take

DEATH OF HARLEY
JOHN
Death the Result of a
Gun Shot Wound—Funeral Thursday
Harley
[Benton] John, the 16 year old
son of Mrs. [George] Riley John [Emma Alice Cook Jones], died at one o'clock Wednesday morning, the
result of a gun shot wound.
The
deplorable accident, which has cost this young man his life and his bereaved
mother her only son, has already been described. It was one of those accidents
which might happen any day, and cannot be ascribed to carelessness entirely,
because every day guns are handled with more seeming carelessness without any
accident resulting. But it seemed this time that Harley was fated to go.
The
gun was discharged with the muzzle almost touching his arm, and as a result the
wound was badly inflicted.
Skillful
surgeons did all that could be done but from the first they knew that his
chance for recovery was very poor. For a time after the wound was dressed Harley rested well, and his distracted mother and loving
friends were encouraged to believe all would yet be well. But the hope was
vain. The poison carried into the blood was too great for nature aided by human
skill to overcome, and some time before his death the physicians knew that the
end must soon come. Shortly after midnight the soul took flight and lifeless
clay was all that was left of him who only a few short days before was a
bright, loving and loveable boy, full of life and joy of living, and the pride
and hope of his widowed mother.
The funeral services were
held at one o'clock yesterday at Berea church conducted by Elder Wm. Cobb.
Interment was made at Bedford cemetery.

Death of Mrs.

Died,
at her residence in Clayton Township, Taylor County Iowa, Mrs. Rachel Mahan, wife of William Mahan, at 9 o'clock, p. m., on Saturday, May 31st, 1884,
aged 15 years, 7 months and 3 days.
The
deceased was born in Clinton County, Indiana, on the 28th of October 1838, and

to William Mahan on the 23d of
March 1856. She united with the Baptist church at the age of sixteen and was
immersed by Eld. J. M. Smith, at her former home in Indiana. She lived a
consistent Christian woman, sustained by her faith during a life of more than

of the time suffered a great degree of physical pain with much patient
resignation.
She
leaves a husband and son and four daughters, with many other relatives and
friends to mourn her loss, but they sorrow not as those who are without hope.
The
remains were interred in the Lexington cemetery, on Monday last, at one
o'clock. The funeral services were conducted at the house by Elder J. P. Lucas,
of the Christian church, and the last sad rites were witnessed by a large
number of mourning friends and relatives.
There
is a better land. In that pure land there shall be no wreck, no ruin, no storm,
no pain nor trouble, and no more parting.
There no tempest wakes the echo,
In the wood, on wave or hill
There the child shall meet its mother,
And the mother meet her child,
And dear families shall be gathered
That were scattered on the wild.
Friends, may we there meet and rest,
' Mid the peaceful and the blessed.
