Mrs. Hannah E. Rinehart, 91, former Newton resident died Saturday at Council Bluffs, Ia., as the result of a broken hip suffered in a fall. She was residing with her daughter-in-law, Mrs. O. E. Rinehart, at the time of the accident, and was taken to the Mercy hospital for treatment.
The body was brought to Newton, where funeral services were held today at 2:00 o’clock from the Morgan funeral home with the Rev. W. J. Trimble of the Free Methodist church in charge. Interment was in the Mewton Union cemetery, beside her husband, the late James Steele Rinehart.
Mrs. Rinehart, member of the Daily News’ Three Quarter Century club, lived for many years at 610 North Third Avenue East before going to Council Bluffs in recent years to make her home.
Hannah Elizabeth Needles was born at Maquon, Ill., May 10, 1846, and came to Jasper county, Ia., in 1860.
