GOVERNOR'S MOTHER DIES
ON SUNDAY
Des
Moines - Death came to Mrs. Margaret Blakemore Hickenlooper, 71, mother of Governor Bourke B. [lakemore]
Hickenlooper of Iowa, at a
hospital here yesterday.
Mrs.
Hickenlooper had been seriously
ill since suffering a heart attack in March at the farm home near Blockton,
Ia., where she and her husband Nathan had lived for many years.
The governor's mother had
been hospitalized here shortly after the heart attack but recovered
sufficiently to be taken to a nursing home at Bedford, where she had remained
until being brought to the hospital again Saturday.
Governor Only Child
Although
active throughout the years in church and civic work, much of Mrs.
Hickenlooper's life was devoted
to her son who was their only child. Keeping a scrapbook of clippings and
mementoes tracing her son's career was one of her favorite hobbies.
Mrs.
Hickenlooper and her husband were
born on neighboring farms near Blockton and were married in 1895. Prior to her
marriage she had been a charter student of the Highland Park Normal College in
Des Moines and had taught country school. Her father, W. [yatt] D. [eKalb]
Blakemore, was Taylor County’s
representative in the legislature for many years.
The Hickenloopers lived in Blockton from 1895 to 1916. Nathan
Hickenlooper had a general store
and was postmaster there. In 1916 they moved to Des Moines. During the war her
husband went overseas to direct army canteens in France and Mrs.
Hickenlooper kept busy with Red
Cross work in Des Moines.
Back to Farm
After
the war the Hickenloopers returned
to Blockton where they farmed and where her activities included presidency of
the American Legion Auxiliary post and membership in the O.E.S. and W.C.T.U.
Until
her recent illness Mrs. Hickenlooper kept a flock of chickens, raising several hundred of them each
summer.
Funeral
services will be held at Blockton but arrangements had not been completed this
morning. Besides her husband and son Mrs. Hickenlooper is survived by two brothers, Wyatt H. [arold]
Blakemore, Bedford; and John
F.[lick] Blakemore, Seattle,
Wash.; and by two grandchildren.

Mrs. Hickenlooper Dies Sunday A.M.
Mrs.
N. [athan] O. [scar] Hickenlooper [Margaret Blakemore] of
Blockton died at the Iowa Methodist Hospital in Des Moines Sunday morning, May
16. She had been in failing health for several weeks and had been cared for at
the Terrill Hospital Home in Bedford for a short time before being taken to the
hospital in Des Moines Saturday.
The
body was returned to Bedford and the funeral services were held at the
Methodist church in Blockton Wednesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. E. B.
Stewart of that church. He was assisted by Rev. Archie A. Ross, pastor of the
Bedford Presbyterian Church. Burial was in the Blockton cemetery.
Mrs.
Hickenlooper was born in 1872
near their present farm home. Her mother, Mary Flick, was born in Taylor County. Her father, W.
[yatt] D. [eKalb] Blakemore,
purchased land and settled in this county following his service in the Civil
war.
After
teaching in the rural schools of the county for five years, she was married in
1895 to Nathan O. [scar] Hickenlooper, who was also born on a neighboring farm. They resided in Blockton
following their marriage where Mr. Hickenlooper conducted a general store. He was also
postmaster. They were the parents of one child, Bourke, who is now the Governor of Iowa.
In
1916 Mr. Hickenlooper sold his
store in Blockton and the family moved to Des Moines, where he operated a store
for a year. He then went overseas with the Y.M.C.A. during World War I, and Mrs.
Hickenlooper remained in Des
Moines, where she was active as a Red Cross worker. The son was also in army
service overseas. Following the war, they returned to their farm near Blockton.
Mrs.
Hickenlooper was known as a hard
worker and was active in church and club work at Blockton. She taught a Sunday
school class at the Methodist church until she became ill. She repeatedly was
president of the American Legion Auxiliary unit there, and was a member of the
Eastern Star. She was an active worker in the Women's Christian Temperance
union and the Ladies Aid.
One
of her favorite hobbies was a scrapbook on her son's life.
In
addition to her husband and son, Mrs. Hickenlooper is survived by two brothers, Wyatt H. [arold]
Blakemore, an oil distributor at
Bedford, and John F.[lick] Blakemore, a civil engineer at Seattle, Wash., and two grandchildren.

DR. ICHABOD KING
The
subject of this sketch passed from earth life on last Sunday evening, at six
o'clock. He had been ill only three days, and was entirely unconscious from the
time he took sick until his death, not recognizing even his most intimate
friends. It isn't definitely known what were the causes his sudden death, but
is generally conceded by the physicians here to have been an affection of the
brain.
Dr.
King was born in Fayette county,
Ohio, in 1839, and with his parents, moved to Lee county, this State, when he
was seven months old, at which place he lived till 1850, when he again moved to
Appanoose County, remaining there till 1856, when he came to this county.
He
studied medicine under J. R. Standley, and attended the medical college at
Keokuk, receiving his diploma from that institute to practice medicine in 1863.
He
was appointed assistant surgeon in the 2nd New York Volunteer Calvary, on Nov.
12th, 1864, and on the l0th of July 1865, was transferred to the same position
in the 34th Iowa volunteers, which position he honorably filled till
the close of the war.
The
death of Dr. King has cast a
gloom of sadness over the community, and makes a vacuum not easily filled. He
leaves a wife and two small children.
He
was a member of the Odd Fellows and Masonic Fraternity, and was by them buried
at Platteville, on Monday, there being present and taking part in the ceremony
about 150 members of both Orders.
We
append the following resolutions had by Taylor Lodge No. 91, A. F. A. M.:
Whereas
it has pleased the grand architect of the universe to remove from among us our
brother, Dr. Ichabod King,
Resolved,
That in this dispensation we recognize the loss of a true and faithful brother
among us, and that while we consign his body to the grave and commend his
spirit to God who gave it, we will cherish and revere his memory here.
Resolved,
That we commend to the fraternity and the world that charity of which his life
was a daily example.
Resolved,
That in his death “we view a striking instance of the uncertainty of life,” and
that we are traveling on the level of time to that undiscovered country from
whose bourne no traveler ever returns.
Resolved,
That we deeply sympathize with his family in their bereavement, and that the secretary
furnish his wife a copy of these resolutions.

Obituary
Died,
on the 22nd of November 1883, at the residence of his son, H. [ugh]
M.[cCain] Lindsey, of Marshal
Township, Samuel Lindsey, aged
87 years, 11 months and 21 days.
The
deceased was born December 1st, 1795, in Cumberland County, Pa. Was a devoted
follower of Christ all his life; was baptized in his infancy in the
Presbyterian church, where he remained until 1843. Finding it more agreeable to
his feelings he united with the M. E. church, in Delaware, Ohio. In 1817, he
married Mrs. Elizabeth Atcheson,
with whom he lived until she was removed by death in 1864. In 1829 he moved
from Pennsylvania to Delaware County, Ohio, and in 1853 from Ohio to Knox
County, Ill., and from Illinois to this county in 1863. His children are Wm.
E., of Ottumwa; H. [ugh] M. [cCain], of Marshall Township, Jane M., wife of E. [lisha] B. [arrett] Allen, of Wasco Co., Oregon; Nancy E.[lizabeth], formerly wife of R. [ichard] O. [scar]
Sterling [Starling], of Bedford; James
H. died in Jefferson Barracks,
Mo., in July, 1864, a member of the 11th Ill. Cavalry, under Col. R. G.
Ingersoll; S. [amuel] M.,
residing in Knoxville, Ill.; M.[artha] Ellen, wife of Simeon Wright, of Clayton township.
He had seen many of the
important changes in the United States, being born under Washington's
administration, voting for James Monroe's re-election, and every succeeding
Presidential election, always voting the Whig ticket, hence was Republican from
principle. Opposed to all secret societies, deeming them to be derogatory to
the Christian religion to which he held with firm tenacity. He repeated the
Lord's Prayer several times before he lost his power of speech, which was about
forty-eight hours before he expired. His sickness was brief, only being from
Monday until Thursday about 1 o'clock. Thus one less soldier for
Christ on earth—one more gone to fill up the
ranks in Heaven.
"We saw not the angels who met him there;
The gates of the city we could not see;
Over the river, over the river,
Father Lindsey stands waiting to welcome me."
Funeral services were
conducted by Rev. Newland, taking for the subject of his discourse the 13th
verse of the 14th chapter of Revelations. A large concourse of relatives and
friends followed the remains to their last resting place in the Lexington
cemetery.

William Lindsay Passed
Away
William
Lindsay [Lindsey] was born in Pennsylvania in 1818, and died at
the county farm Nov. 30, 1906, aged 88 years, 4 months and 14 days, from old
age.
Early
in life he moved to Ohio with his parents and it was while living at Delaware,
Ohio he was married. One child, a son, was born to them who preceded his
father. After marriage they moved to Illinois and then came to Ottumwa, Ia. It
was then his wife died and he soon moved to Bedford where he has since made his
home with relatives and friends. He was an enthusiastic church worker and while
living at Ottumwa organized the first choir the M. E. church had at that place.
Last
summer he went to the county farm, as a matter of choice. While all his near
relatives were dead he had a number of more distant relatives, any of whom would
have gladly had him make his home with them. But he realized that his days were
short and when going to the county farm he selected his lot for burial in Lexington
cemetery and also made himself a casket. His occupation was that of carpenter
and millwright and be enjoyed the work.
The
funeral occurred Sunday and the burial took place at the spot directed by him
during life. Rev. Gaddis, of Conway, delivered the funeral sermon.

Died at Ripe Old Age
Wm.
Lindsey died Saturday morning,
age 88 years, 4 months, and 18 days, and was buried Sunday at Lexington
cemetery, Rev. Coe of Conway conducting the services.
The
deceased was born in Ohio [Pennsylvania] on July 22, 1818, and upon reaching
his maturity moved to Iowa. He located first at Ottumwa, being one of the early
settlers of that city. In his early manhood he was married and one child was
born to this union, but both wife and child died and were buried at Ottumwa.
Mr.
Lindsey was a millwright and
worked at this trade and at carpentering until he became too old.
Some
twelve years ago he moved to Taylor County, and this has since been his home.
The
deceased was an honest God-fearing man, and a good citizen. He was a man of
kindly heart, sensitive and self-reliant. Always a man, unselfish and
considerate of others, in his later years, this character became abnormally
developed, and he was constantly disturbed by the fear that he might trouble
some one. In spite of the remonstrance of relatives, he for [a] long time lived
alone, and when he became too infirm to longer attend to his wants, insisted on
going to the county farm. His relatives offered him a home and kind care and
begged him to stay, but without avail. He seemed perfectly happy at the farm,
where he was well fed and cared for and refused to go elsewhere. He was not
penniless and could have boarded, but the farm seemed to suit him better than
any other place. A few years ago he constructed a casket in which he wished to
be buried and this, after being trimmed by Mr. Campbell, the undertaker, was
used.

A Delayed Obituary
When Mr. William Lindsay [Lindsey]
died on November 30, 1906, he had written an obituary of his own which, on his
death bed, he requested to be read. The relatives were unable to find it at the
time but last week it was found carefully locked up with his private papers,
and while unable to be read at his funeral we take the liberty of publishing
from his own words the following:
The
deceased was born in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania on the 16th of
July in the year 1818 and was baptized into the Presbyterian Church during
infancy. He moved with his parents into Delaware County, Ohio, when he was 11
years old and helped his parents clear up a farm from its wild state, making a
pleasant home for them. When 17 years old, he hired out to a carpenter for 3
years to learn that business. Served the full time and then went to Pittsburg,
Penn. to finish his trade. He spent one year there and then went back to
Delaware, Ohio. During a revival in the M. E. church at this time he joined
that church with many of his associates and became an active member of it,
serving as class leader, steward, chorister in that church at different times.
He
was married to Miss H. [annah] L. [S. Wagoner] Hilby in 1845 in Delaware, Ohio, and built a home for
his small family, having only two children, who with their mother have passed
through the change called death, and now the father and husband has passed the
same change. He sold his property in Delaware, Ohio, and moved to Cleveland,
Ohio, in 1852. He bought a home there and lived there 6 years. He sold out in
Cleveland and moved to Knoxville, Ill., spending 1 year with friends there and
then moved to Ottumwa, Ia., where he lived 38 years, and where he buried his wife.
He then moved to Clinton, Ia., in 1886 where he buried his only son and lived
with his daughter-in-law and family about a year. He then moved to Taylor
County, living with friends there. He was present at the death of his brother
and sister during the first year of his stay there.

William
Lindsay [Lindsey], who died at
the county farm last fall, was a character seldom met with. He had in his
possession good notes, to the amount of $2,600 that he had never tried to
collect and had permitted to outlaw. These facts were discovered by J. S. Boyd
as administrator. Compounding the interest, none of which had ever been paid,
at 7 per cent, their rate, would have amounted to over $5,000. Mr. Lindsay
[Lindsey] was a man who thought but
little of money.
