On the day following the cemetery was again opened to receive the remains of William Hartley which were brought from Wilmington and laid to rest, Rev. Cook of Caledonia holding services at the M. E. church at that place and conducting a short service at the grave. Mr. Hartley was about 75 years of age and was one of the first settlers of the English Bench, though for the last twenty years a resident of Minnesota. He was thrice married and his wife and several children survive him. He was a man of kindly disposition and
respected by his neighbors and friends.
