At Lake Park Tuesday, occurred the death of Mrs. C.F. Hatch, aged
seventy-two years. Deceased had been a respected resident of that
community for many years. She had been ailing with heart trouble
for a number of months. Mrs. Clyde Crandall, of Seattle, Mrs.
C.P. Bennett, of Minneapolis, Mrs. Theo. Strathman and Mrs. Myron
Benson, of Lake Park, are daughters, and J.H. Gregory, of this
place and C.C. Gregory, of Excelsior township, are brothers of
the deceased.
In a letter to his father, E.D. Carlton, Ira W. Carlton
incidentally mentions that he was married on the 7th, instant, to
Miss Lenore Woodard, of Columbus, Nebraska. Ira is one of
Dickinson county's very creditable products of manhood, and this
important move on his part will be noted with much interest by a
large circle of friends here at the old home. Ira has been making
good in responsible positions in Omaha for a number of years. He
is at present engaged with the Omaha Packing company. The happy
twain have already set up a home in Omaha.
