Sarah Van Camp
Sarah Abigail Van Camp, eldest daughter of John and Mary [Baker] Van Camp, was born in Taylor County, Iowa, on November 1, 1857, and departed this life from her home in Bedford on the 19th day of May 1928, at the age of 70 years, 5 months and 17 days.

Sadness has again entered the ranks of our Bedford homes in the passing away of Mrs. Frank Larison. Her departure has brought sorrow to the hearts of her dear ones, as it seems she is a little nearer to her family than the average mother, in as much as there are no remaining brothers or sisters. We are sure they are very deserving of our sympathy and prayers.

Mrs. Larison has been a resident of Taylor County for the last 68 years, having spent her entire life in this community with the exception of two years, which were spent near Keokuk, Iowa. Thirty years of this time were spent on a farm in Taylor County. Following their farm life she moved with her family to Bedford where she was living at the time of death. The Frank Larison family have been residents of our little city for 20 years. The deceased was one of a family of ten children, two brothers and seven sisters, of whom three are now living as follows: David Van Camp from near Bedford, Mrs. Martha John of Denver, Colo., and Mrs. Laura Boyer of Centerview, Mo. On August 11, 1878, she was united in marriage to Mr. Frank Larison, and to this union five children were born, all having passed on except one daughter, Halla Larison, who is the only surviving child.

In so many cases death disarranges our plans in life, and it is so in the case of Brother and Sister Larison, as they had been planning to celebrate their Golden Wedding anniversary the 11th of next August, when they would have been married 50 years. This shows us that we cannot afford to plan too much for the future, as we know not the day nor the hour when the son of man cometh. When 17 years of age, Mrs. Larison united with the Hazel Dell church, and later on after moving to Bedford, she united with the Baptist Church, and was a member in good and regular standing at the time of her death.

Those who are left to mourn her death, her husband, Mr. Frank Larison, and her only surviving daughter, Miss Halla Larison; also one brother, David Van Camp from near Bedford; and two sisters, Mrs. Martha John of Denver, Colo., and Mrs. Laura Boyer of Centerview, Mo. There are also many other relatives and admiring friends who are not mentioned in this obituary.

In the passing out of Mrs. Larison we are laying to rest one of our pioneers who helped in the development of our wonderful state. Also, one who will be missed from the church, and from the community. But most of all she will be missed from her home, as the father, mother and daughter have lived for one another. We also feel that the father and daughter will have the sympathy of our entire community in this hour of sorrow.
