The Ionia Standard, Friday, April 28, 1893

The funeral services of Mrs. R. H. Bedford took place at St. John’s Episcopal 
church Tuesday p.m., the rector, Rev. W. H. Thomas, D. D., delivering a brief 
discourse appropriate to the occasion.  The church was well filled with 
friends and acquaintances of the deceased.  The floral offerings were abundant 
and of great beauty.  The pall bearers were Messrs. Dr. A. B. Grand, A. S. 
Wright, J. W. Baldie and W. F. Soule.  Interment was at Highland Park.

Anna Griffing was the daughter of J. G. and Elizabeth Griffing, and was born 
in Hartland, Livingston county, this state, Dec. 24, 1847.  She moved with her 
parents to Pontiac in 1856, where she was married to Robert H. Bedford Oct. 
13, 1868, coming directly to Ionia to make her home, and residing here ever 
since.  She and her husband united with the Episcopal church soon after coming 
here.  They have one child—Albert—born Jan. 21, 1871.

Long years of illness could not sour the amiable disposition of Mrs. Bedford 
nor diminish the noble traits of character which distinguished her and 
endeared her to a worthy circle of friends, by whom her loss will be deeply 
felt.
