Miss Mildred Maude Van Camp, youngest of ten children of the late J. [ohn] C.[hester] and Mary [Baker] Van Camp, was born near Bedford, Iowa, Nov. 21, 1877. She left for the home beyond June 16, 1919, at 4:30 a. m.
Here she grew to womanhood, spending most of her beautiful young life near the scenes of her childhood.
On Jan. 24, 1904, she was united in marriage to Mr. Wm. Townsend of Hopkins, Mo., where for two years they joined hand and effort in fortune’s endeavor. In 1906 they came to Bedford where they made their home until the past autumn, when business interests called them to Creston, where they lived at the time of her decease.
When about fifteen years of age she gave her heart and life in public profession to her Lord as Master and became a member of the Hazel Dell Baptist church. When coming to Bedford she transferred her membership into the fellowship of the First Baptist church of this place and continued faithful to her Lord---exemplary, trustful, devoted. Though not always able to be present in public worship she remained steadfast to her Master in the spirit of her life and service. Now that she has left the fellowship of the church militant she is at home in the more perfect fellowship in the church triumphant.
Deceased is survived by a wide circle of friends and relatives which include three sisters and two brothers: Mrs. B. [enjamin] F. [ranklin] Larison [Sarah Abigail], Bedford; George [Washington] Van Camp, Lawrence, Kas.; Mrs. Martha [Frances] John, Long Beach, Cal., David B. [aker] Van Camp, Bedford; Mrs. Laura J. Boyer, Warrensburg, Mo.; also fifteen nieces and nephews.
The health of the deceased has not been perfect the past two years. On June 15, 1918, she submitted to an operation for cancer, which proved successful, and her life was extended for a year and a day. With all the fondness of motherly instinct the deceased looked forward to the time when her true womanly hopes should be realized in her mother-love for her own child. The providence of a wise and loving heavenly father called home to the mansions beyond the spirit of the infant child at the time of the departure of the mother for the heavenly land. Thus this mother spirit winged its flight at 4:30 a. m., the new day eternal.
The sympathy of all go out to Mr. Townsend in this bit of providence which leaves him both companionless and childless.
Funeral services were conducted Wednesday, June 18, at 2:00 p. m., by her pastor, Rev. C. C. Hatcher of the Baptist church. Interment at Fairview cemetery.
