Mrs. Ann Hartnett, who had been ill for several months, passed away Friday evening at the home of her son, Morris Hartnett.

She had been a resident of Colfax and vicinity for many years and was well know here. Her health during the past few years has not been good and for the past few weeks has been in a serious condition.

Mrs. Ann Hartnett was born in England, July 5, 1850, and departed this life March 18th, 1932, age 81 years, 8 months, and 17 days.

She came with her mother to the United States at the early age of 14 years, and joined her father and brother at Bloomsburg, Pa. Later she, with her family, moved to Boone, Ia., where she was united in marriage to John Hartnett. Shortly after her marriage, she with her husband, moved to Jasper County and resided south of Newton until 1888 at which time she, with the family, moved to Oswalt.

The last 48 years of her life, Mrs. Hartnett has resided in or near Colfax.

While still in her youth she united with the Church of England. After moving to this country she transferred her membership to the Methodist Church, where she was a regular attendant as long as health would permit.
