Humphrey, Joseph Henry -
It is with deep regret that The Time-Table chronicles the
death of J. H. Humphrey, of Bedford, who passed away in the Iowa Lutheran
hospital in Des Moines, at 12:53 Tuesday morning.
Mr. Humphrey passed through a serious operation on January
2, and practically no hope was given by the attending surgeons.
Mr. Humphrey lived in Lenox for many years where he was an
active member of the United Presbyterian church. He was for two terms sheriff of Taylor county and filled the office most capably. Although past
seventy years of age, Mr. Humphrey was a candidate at the June primaries for
the same office. He made a most active campaign and had many loyal supporters.
Every one who spoke of him had only good things to say and had he been a
younger man
it would have been a close contest.
The funeral will be held today, Thursday, at ten o'clock in
Bedford. The body will be brought to this city on the 1:24 train Thursday and
burial will be made
in Fairview cemetery. A short service will be held at the United Presbyterian
church about 1:30.

McCoun,
Leonard T. -
There are many old friends of Hon. L. T. McCoun among Time-Table readers, who will be grieved to learn of his death Sunday evening,
December 23rd, at his home in Bedford. He was probably the oldest practicing
lawyer in the State of Iowa, having followed his profession in Taylor county for 65 years. In his younger days he was considered
one of the best criminal lawyers in this section of the country.
Mr. McCoun was a veteran of the
Mexican war and the Civil war. He leaves
a -wife and one daughter. Military
honors were accorded at the funeral.
The following history of Mr. McCoun was written by himself recently:
Leonard T. McCoun.
I am a native of Kentucky and born in Woodford county, May 6, 1832. My parents were of Scotch descent.
I accompanied my parents when ten years of age to their new
home near Danville, Indiana, and what education I received was in the public
school and seminary at Danville.
I was twelve years old when my father died and when sixteen
I enlisted in the regular army and went as a recruit to Vera Crux and was
assigned to Company E of the Second regular infantry, under command of Col.
Riley and General Lyon of Civil War fame was at that time first lieutenant and
was breveted captain.
In 1856 I came to Bedford, but did not locate until one year
later when I opened my law office and have been practicing law continually
since that date except while in the Civil War.
At the beginning of the Civil war there were many raids in
southern Iowa and great uneasiness felt by the citizens of Bedford and
vicinity, so we formed a local company and I was selected captain and several
times pursued the
retreating invaders and on one occasion while some were
trying to ascertain the legal right to cross the Missouri line we led the
company almost within sight of St. Joseph, Mo., and discussed the right
afterwards.
In 1862 I raised a company at Bedford, which became known as
Company C of the Fourth Missouri cavalry. The company went to St. Joseph, Mo.,
and joined the regiment. I was selected as captain but had to resign after one
year's
service on account of my health.
While at home in Bedford in the fall of 1863,I was selected Captain of Company B of the border brigade
and served until the following May.
I helped raised Company D of the Forty-sixth Iowa Volunteers
infantry and was with it during its time of service—one hundred days. Col. D.
B. Henderson, afterwards speaker of the National House was my commander.
I think I am the oldest practicing lawyer in Iowa and have
been in some warmly contested cases in Iowa and the middle
west and at times lost some cases I thought I should have won and at
other times won some cases when the opposing council said should of been
reversed.
Am a member of the Christian church, A. F. & A. M. lodge and Segwick G. A. R. post in Bedford.
I was a member of the twelfth and thirteenth General Assembly
of Iowa and saw some stormy sessions as a pioneer law maker; was county
prosecutor for two terms in Taylor county and had a
part in bringing some noted criminals
to justice and afterward defended others probably just as bad, winning some cases
and losing others.
Have seen Iowa come from the condition the white man found
it, when the Indians roamed over the virgin prairies without roads or
railroads, churches nor school houses up to its present condition.
I owned some farm land and farmed some, but always preferred
to practice law and was most happy when I won a hard fought legal battle.
If I live until the 6th day of May I will be ninety-five
years old and still have my name in the bar docket of Taylor county,
with some business.
