Edna J. Hale
Edna Josephine Hale, daughter of Wm. A. [sbury] and Letha [May Houck] Hale, was born Aug. 22, 1883 [1885] in Bedford, Iowa. She passed away at her home April 22, 1915, 6:20 p. m., age 29 years, 8 months. Funeral services were held at the home Saturday afternoon conducted by Rev. J. W. Goodsell. Interment was made in Fairview cemetery.
Edna has always been a Bedford girl. She went through the public schools here, graduating with the class of 1904, and has been associated with the social life of the young people of our community, being one of the popular girls with both young and old because of her bright, cheerful disposition. After graduating from the high school, she taught for a year, then went to Cedar Falls, graduating from there in 1910. After finishing at Cedar Falls she went to Springville, Iowa, where she had a very successful period of teaching, having started in on her fifth year in that place. She not only would have completed the fifth year of her work there but would also have been entitled to a life certificate if the fatal illness had not fastened itself upon her. She gave up her work in October, coming home, where she has been with the loved ones who have ministered so kindly and lovingly to her during the months of her painful illness. Edna suffered untold agonies, yet through it all she displayed an unusual amount of courage, being cheerful and jolly and always looking upon the bright side of her suffering. She submitted to it all with calmness and the end came peacefully. She leaves to mourn her loss, her mother, Mrs. Letha Hale, two sisters, Alice and Caroline, one brother, Charles, and the grandfather, J. M. Houck. Her grandmother, Mrs. J. M. Houck, her father, and two sisters have preceded her to the heavenly home. The father died March 1911, the two sisters, Olive, December 1887, and Edith in May 1892. Grandma Houck passed away in 1909.
Edna united with the Methodist Episcopal church August 6, 1899, and has always been a faithful member.

Mrs. Wm A. Hale
Letha May Houck was born at Bedford, Iowa, Jan. 13, 1861, and departed this life, Feb. 17, 1920. She was married to Wm. A. [sbury] Hale, Nov. 24, 1881. Immediately after their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Hale moved to Clarinda, Iowa, where they remained for 18 months, moving back to Bedford. With the exception of this short stay in Clarinda, all the life of the deceased was spent in Bedford.
Six children came to bless the new home, thus established. Olive had but tasted life, when the Master took her home at the age of 24 months. Later three of the children were taken down with the diphtheria, and at this time Edith, nine years of age, was taken. In 1915, Edna, who had entered in her 30th year, who had heroically fought for health for several years, passed out of this life.
Mrs. Hale and her family knew what it meant to meet bereavement. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Houck, who made their home with them, left their earthly abiding place, Nov. 1, 1909, and March 1, 1917, respectively.
The husband of the deceased, Mr. Wm. A. [sbury] Hale, died in March, 1910. It was the sustaining grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, which kept Mrs. Hale in her spirit of sweetness during these years. To her the words of the poet had their full meaning:
My Jesus as thou wile:
O may thy will be mine;
Into thy hand of love
I would my all resign.
Through sorrow or through joy,
Conduct we as thy own,
And help me still to say,
My Lord, thy will be done.
When a very young lady she identified herself with the Methodist church of Bedford, and was always deeply interested in the church, in the work of the Aid and missionary society, and Sunday school. When her family duties would permit, she was found at her post in the church. In honor of her 59th birthday, she brought her missionary gift to the Sunday school Jan. 16th. Feb. 1, 1920, she was in her place in the church service, this being the last time she was ever away from home.
She leaves three children, Alice, Carolyn and Charles; also a brother, Charles E. Houck of San Francisco, to mourn her departure. The entire neighborhood extend their sympathies to the bereft family.
Short funeral services were conducted by Rev. John F. Arnold from the south porch of the Hale home Thursday afternoon. Interment [was] in South Lawn cemetery.
Thus comes to an end, so far as active service in this life is concerned, the activities of a loving mother, neighbor and friend, but the fruits of her life will go on and multiply in the lives of those left behind and who today are sad because she has gone from among us.

Hymah Green McMillin was born in Franklin county, Ohio, Sept. 14, 1813, and died July 25, 1899, aged eighty-five years, ten months and ten days. In 1842 he was married to Amanda Cline, who departed this life in 1858.

To this union was born five children, all of whom have preceded the father to the other life as follows: Josephine, died Sept. 6, 1852; William, died July 5, 1856; George L., lost his life in the Union army in the defense of his country, July 22, 1864; Susana, died march 20, 1875, and Harvey H., died March 11, 1875 - this leaving the father childless. Two brothers, five grand children and three great grandchildren survive him.

Mr. McMillin was one of the old settlers of Vermilion County, Ill., having removed with his parents to this county in 1831 and settled at Sugar Grove. Afterwards the family moved to near Denmarck where he spent the most of his life.

He was a farmer by occupation and in his earlier days before railroad accommodation hauled produce to Chicago and Milwaukee.

Mr. McMillin was not a member of any church, was liberal in his religious views and expressed his faith in a living God.

Too much cannot be said of this generous and noble man. He was a good citizen, a true patriot and honest and upright in his deeds. He was loved and respected by all who knew him and his death will be sincerely regretted by a host of friends.

Sleep, dear loved one, sleep
Life's rocky steps are past
And in pastures green by water still
They tired feet rest at last.

Sleep, dear loved one, sleep,
With that calm look on thy brow
For never more shall care oppress
Or sorrow grieve the now
