Obituary of Timothy Horton Sandford:

HEART FAILURE.....Timothy Horton Sandford, 65, Answers The Final Summons.

Timothy Sandford, 65 years old, died suddenly, last Wednesday evening about 5 o"clock of heart

failure. His sudden death was a great shock, not only to his loved ones, but to the citizens of 

the town and surrounding community where he had spent the greater portion of his life, as he was 

on the streets and in stores just a few hours before apparently in the best of health.

He was assisting a neighbor, Mr. Jockey, to put hay in the barn when the summons came.

Timothy Horton Sandford was a son of Benj. Sandford, many years ago proprietor of the Sandford 

Hotel in Burlington, now the K. of P. Hall. He was born Dec. 18, 1857, on the farm now occupied 

by Hubert Clore on Lick creek, Carlton precinct.

He was twice married. His first wife, who was Miss Mary Beemon, daughter of Salathiel Beemon, 

proceeded him to the grave twenty-one years ago. To this union five children were born, two 

dying in infancy. Those living are Charles, of Lawrenceburg, Ind., Edward, of Cincinnati and 

Mrs. Whited, of Lawrenceburg, Ind. In 1907 he was married to Miss Lallie Delph, daughter of 

George W. and Mary (Beemon) Delph. There were no children born to this marriage.

He was a jovial, kind hearted man, ever ready to assist a friend, and will be greatly missed by 

his many friends and associates in this part of the county where he spent his entire life.

Besides his wife and children he is survived by two brothers, Leonard, of Cincinnati, Robert H. 

of Covington, and Mrs. Allie Parsons, of Milan, Ind., who have the sympathy of all in their 

sorrow.

May we so live that when our summons come, we may approach our graves like one who wraps the 

drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams.

Funeral services were held at the Burlington Baptist church, of which he was a member, 

at 10 o'clock Saturday morning, Feb. 10, conducted by the pastor, Rev. W. W. Adams, after which 

the remains were taken to Belleview and laid to rest by the cemetery at that place. 

C. Scott Chambers, undertaker in charge.
