"Uncle Cy" Woolverton Dead
Cyrus Woolverton familiarly known to everybody in this locality as "Uncle Cy," passed away suddenly shortly after 5 o'clock Monday afternoon, from heart failure. He had been down town as usual and when indications of a rainstorm came up he started home at 5 o'clock and walked rather rapidly. When he reached his home he sat down in a rocking chair. Mrs. Stalker, who has been housekeeper for some time, was outside the house; she heard a noise and on coming into the room found Uncle Cy lying on the floor in front of his chair. Even then the spirit had flown and he was dead. It is thought the extra exertion was too much for the weak condition of his heart, from which he has been suffering for some time, and was the cause of his sudden death. The news spread rapidly over town and all expressed the keenest sorrow to learn of it for he was a friend to everybody.
Cyrus Woolverton was born in Parke County, Indiana, October 13, 1832, and was 75 years, 7 months and 13 days old at the time of his death. On October 21, 1852, he was married to Ariadne Cole, who was born in the same county. They came to Iowa in 1855 and settled in Bedford, where the deceased soon engaged in blacksmithing. During the war he was at St. Joe, Mo., and also at Denver, Colo., where he shod horses for the Union troops. He built his present home here about 38 years ago where he has ever since lived.
Mr. Woolverton was a prominent member of the I. O. O. F. lodge and one of his most highly prized possessions was a medal presented him for long service in that order.
While no children came to bless Mr. Woolverton's home he was exceedingly fond of them and he and his good wife raised several as their own. They were L. D. Willman, now of Nara Visa, N. M., Mrs. Rees Woolverton, nee Fannie Vinnedge, Mulhall, Okl.; Mrs. R. A. Cone, nee Arvilla Hedrick, Denver, Colo.
His wife died five years ago this month, shortly after they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. The only near relative he leaves is a brother Ed Woolverton, of Cora, Ida.
The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon from the Christian church, conducted by Elder Wm. Cobb. The burial, which was under the auspices of the I. O. O. F. Lodge, was in the Bedford cemetery.

Ariadne Woolverton Dead
WAS AN OLD RESIDENT OP BEDFORD
She Passes From the Mortal to the Immortal State, From the Conflict to the Crown.

Died, at her home in Bedford, Iowa, Thursday evening, May 14, 1903, at 4:10 o'clock, Mrs. Ariadne Woolverton, wife of Cyrus Woolverton aged 68 years, 9 months and 29 days. The funeral services were held Sunday afternoon, May 17, at 2:30 o'clock, conducted by Elder Wm. Cobb, assisted by Rev. D. W. Griffith and Elder Lee Furgeson, which were attended by a large concourse of relatives and friends. The discourse was preached from Acts 9:39, and was delivered in a tender and sympathetic manner, very beautifully portraying the noble and useful life of the deceased. By her death a home is made sad and desolate and an aged companion and two adopted girls, beside a host of relatives and friends mourn their loss.

Ariadne Cole was born July 15, 1834, in Parke County, Indiana, where she grew to womanhood. She was married October 21,1852, to Cyrus Woolverton, her surviving companion. They removed to Taylor County, Iowa, in 1855, and have ever since resided here except a short stay in St. Joseph, Missouri. She embraced the faith in Christ and obeyed the gospel in the youthful age of her life in the state of Indiana. She, with her husband, united with the church of Christ in Bedford, in March 1856. She ever honored her profession of faith in Christ by an orderly walk and a chaste conversation. She was recognized by all who knew her as a kind hearted, earnest and devoted Christian woman.

The greatest impulse of her warm heart ever manifested itself in sublime and undying charity or love for the world and especially for the homeless and destitute. Having no children of her own, other children became the objects of her love and affection. Six orphan children were adopted by her and her companion and cheerfully given a home with them and became especial objects of their care and affection. Fannie J. Vinnedge, now Mrs. Rees Woolverton, of Oklahoma, who was at the funeral, Walter Scott Davis, a little homeless and sorely afflicted boy, was tenderly cared for in this home for six years, when he died and the little form was silently laid away in the family lot in the Bedford cemetery, L. D. Willman, of this city, was reared in and shared the comforts and protection of her home; Arvilla Hedrick, now Mrs. R. A. Cone, of Colorado, was another one of the homeless of earth, who was given the comforts and blessings of her good home; Bessie and Jessie Cole, the two young twin girls, the last objects of her love and affection, and still in the home today, mourn the loss of dear "auntie," as they were pleased to call her.

Hers was not the home of wealth and luxury while she was bestowing so much of her care, love and affection on these, adopted as her children, but she, with her companion, labored and struggled for the necessaries of life and generously bestowed the fruits thereof on others. Besides the ones here named many others shared in her unstinted liberality and goodness. To all she gave the best of all earthly legacies—the impress of a noble Christian example, which is being well imitated by many if not all that have had the blessings of her home.

Truly may it be said of Mrs. Woolverton that she was the Tabitha of this community, leaving here so many of the noble deeds of life by which she will long be remembered. In the church she was active, earnest and devoted and so endeared herself to all in that relationship that she will long be remembered and missed by them. She has passed from the mortal to the immortal state, from the conflict to the Crown.

Mrs. Woolverton was a charter member of the Rebekah lodge at Bedford and that order, as well as the Odd Fellows, attended the funeral in a body, but took no part in the exercises.
The remains were laid to rest in the Bedford cemetery.
