Final Rites Held October 31 For Catherine Hanshaw
Funeral services for Mrs. Carr C. (Catherine) Hanshaw, 86, of Bedford, held October 31 in Shum-Novinger Funeral Home, were conducted by Rev. Charles Newman. Mrs. Hanshaw died October 28, 1982 in Rosary Hospital in Corning. Interment was at Fairview Cemetery, Bedford.

Catherine Rebecca Walker, daughter of James W. [illiam] and Abigail Hornback Walker, was born in Menard County, Illinois on May 9, 1896.

Her family moved to Iowa in 1900, living in the Forest Grove community for 10 years before moving into Bedford. She attended the Bedford public school and was active in the Baptist church, where she helped as pianist.

On October 24, 1915, she was united in marriage to Carr C. [lifton] Hanshaw at the home of her parents, and they continued to reside in Bedford. To this union three children were born: Clifton, Forrest and Ruth.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her brothers, Roy and Arthur Walker, her husband and daughter-in-law, Marjorie [Elizabeth Renfro] Hanshaw.

Left to cherish her memory are her two sons: Clifton Hanshaw and wife, Ethel; Forrest Hanshaw and wife, Kay; one daughter, Ruth Clark, and husband, Howard, all of Bedford; seven grandchildren: Jim Hanshaw, Bedford; Kaye Steele, Tampa, Fla.; Judy Engleka, Visalia, Calif., Paul Hanshaw, Glenwood, Cathy Odle, Gardner, Kansas, Brent Clark, Glenwood, and Patricia Dukes, Bedford; 15 great grandchildren; one sister-in-law, Edith Walker of Chicago; nieces and nephews.

She will be fondly remembered by countless numbers of people for whom she had the pleasure of babysitting through the years in Bedford.

Catherine could always be seen on nice days enjoying the beautiful weather outdoors, watching and listening to the wonders Mother Nature had to offer.

She was a kind and considerate mother and grandmother. She will be lovingly remembered by each one whose life she blessed.
