Bickford, where he has spent the greater part of the summer. Funeral services were held at the Adams County First Baptist Church, conducted by Rev. Graham of the M.E. Church of Creston and Rev. Roberts of Corning. Interment was made in the Forest Hill Cemetery. George H., Bickford was born at Kewanee, Illinois, July 26, 1859 and laid aside the toils of this life for that home beyond Sunday evening, November 18, 1928. He was 69 years, 3 months, and 23 days old at the time of his death. He was the son of Eli and Abigail Bickford, who preceded him in death a quarter of a century ago. In the fall of 1868, when Mr. Bickford was nine years old, he with his parents moved to Mt. Etna, Adams County, Iowa, where they spent the winter, and in the spring moved to the old home, south of Mt. Etna, known for the past 60 years as the Bickford place, It was here that he grew to manhood as a pioneer in the new country, breaking the prairie in doing his bit to build up the country and took great interest in the things that go into the making of a new country. November 19, 1883, he was married to Miss Clara J. Foote, of Creston, who was a loyal and faithful companion until she was called to her reward on April 18, 1927, 19 months before him. To this union were born seven children, Walter I. of Corning, Vern R. of Saskatchewan, Canada, Frank E., of Roscoe, Iowa; Carl. O., Lauren I., and Paul L. of Corning, all surviving their parents. Miriam, a daughter died 23 years ago. There are also 27 grandchildren, 5 daughter-in-laws, and a host of friends and relatives, who mourn the loss, yet rejoice to think of the happy union in that heavenly place.
