All that's bright must fade,
The brightest still the fleetest;
All that's sweet was made
But to be lost when sweetest.
At half past two o'clock on the afternoon of Wednesday, April 24th, the soul of JAMES M. HARPER vacated its earthly tenement and joined the majority of those gone before. But although he is dead and earthly scenes and associates will know him no more his character and disposition were such as to endear him to a large circle of friends in whose minds and hearts his memory will live more ineffaceable and enduring than any monument of marble could perpetuate it. He was of a sociable light-hearted temperament and had in a marked degree, the happy faculty of making friends of all with whom he came in contact, wherever he went. He had been ill for a period of three weeks with typhoid pneumonia, and during that time his friends were on the rack of anxiety hoping against hope for his recovery, which alas! was destined never to take place. Somehow the month of April with its opening buds and flowers and its trees and vegetation becoming greener and more luxuriant every day, prophetic of the bounteous summer, seems an appropriate time for the close of a young and hopeful life like that of James Harper, who at the time of his death was but twenty-three years and eight months old. His life, too had all the joyousness and cheerfulness of spring in it, and in after years when the thoughts of his friends revert to him, they will recall none but pleasant associations severed too soon. Besides the sorrowing parents, Mrs. and Mrs. Wm. Harper, four brothers and four sisters survive to mourn his untimely death. They are Robert, John, Charles, Mrs. Geo. Spratsford, Mrs. Geo. Maylone, and Mrs. Joseph Zybarth, all residing in Muscatine county; William, who lives in Nebraska, and Miss Margaret, a resident of California. The funeral, which was an unusually large one, occurred Friday morning from the residence to St. Matthias' church, and thence to St. Mary's cemetery, where the interment took place. The pallbearers were Messrs. Frank Boland, John Dowdal, Cornelius Toohey, James Healy, Frank and Edward Healy.

Obituary for William Harper----- On Monday night, March 23, 1896, at his home in Lake township, nine and one half miles northwest of Muscatine, occurred the death of William Harper, a pioneer resident of this county, who for fifty-three years had lived within its borders and witnessed every stage of its gradual development from a comparative wilderness to its present populous and progressive state. The final summons did not come suddenly or unexpectedly, as the impaired state of his health, which had been slowly but surely failing for two years, gave unmistakable premonition to the anxious friends and saddened family circle, of his approaching demise. His tranquil, peaceful exit from the world seems more like a transition than an actual death. For him the varied emotions and experiences of earthly life have ceased, but his familiar face, kindly disposition, and sterling and upright character will long exist in the memory of those who knew him; the heartfelt sympathy of whom is extended to the family in their sore bereavement. Mr. Harper was born in the northern part of the Emeral Isle (Tyrone County) in 1828, and was at the time of his death 68 years old. In early boyhood he joined the tide of emigration to the new world to try its possibilities. He lived first for a time in Pittsburg, Pa., but in 1843, he came westward to Muscatine County, and lived here continuously for the fifty-three ensuing years. Few indeed of our citizens are now remaining whose residence here dates back to such an early period. He is survived by his wife, four sons and four daughters. They are Robert, John, Charles, Mrs. George Spratford, Mrs. George Maylone and Mrs. Joseph Zybarth, all of this county, William, whose home is in Nebraska, and Miss Margaret, of California. One son, James, died last April.

AMELIA HATTEN----- HUSBAND FINDS WIFE DEAD ON THE FLOOR ------------ LEAVES HOME FOR A FEW MINUTES DURING WHICH SHE DIES ------------ Mrs. Amelia Hatten Succumbs Un-expectedly From Heart Disease, Death Comes This Morning ------------ Leaving his home for a few minutes this morning at about 10 o'clock, George Hatten, an old soldier and veteran of the civil war, residing at 1355 Sherman street, returned to find his wife prostrate upon the floor, dead. Death had been almost instantaneous. She was 65 years old. The suddenness of her demise is attributed to heart failure with which she had been afflicted for the past seven years. About three years ago she had a stroke of apoplexy which paralyzed her. She had somewhat recovered from the paralysis and was believed to be getting better. Coroner E. H. King was notified and upon investigation decided that death was the result of natural causes and an inquest wasnot necessary.

Foul Play is Hint In Death Of Geo. Hatton -------------- Mystery surrounds the death of George Hatton, former Muscatine man whose lifeless body was discovered in an alleyway in Rock Island on Thursday night. Reports from the Tri-Cities relative to his demise are vague. The authorities refuse to give out any information and many rumors are afloat there as to the cause of his death. It is expected that an inquest will be held to ascertain the circumstances. Physicians who were summoned to review the remains hold that death was due to dilation of the heart. It is admitted by them and by the authorities that dope might have been administered to the man who is reported to have had a considerable sum of money on his person. The dead man is a son of George Hatton, Sr. residing at 414 East Seventh street. He was married to Fannie Hays of Muscatine, from who he later was divorced. Five Children survive the union as well as a sister, Phoebe Tollefson. When the man was found he was but lightly attired and it is viewed as possible that he may have died from exposure.-----"THE MUSCATINE JOURNAL", Muscatine, Iowa, January 14, 1918, page 2----- HATTON REMAINS BROUGHT HERE ----------------- The remains of George Hatton, a former local man, who died suddenly on Thursday evening and whose lifeless body was found in an alleyway in Rock Island, arrived in Muscatine at 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and were removed to the Wittich undertaking parlors on Cedar street, Funeral services will be conducted from that place tomorrow afternoon, and interment will be made in the Greenwood cemetery, it is announced.----- Investigate Story---- Efforts are being made by Coroner Miller of Rock Island, to investigate stories circulated in Rock Island and this city, concerning the fact that Hatton had gone to Rock Island a little over a month ago, and that he had $2, 000 in cash, the proceeds of a sale of some real estate in this city. It was learned that when Hatton went to Rock Island he had about $300 in cash, and $1.97 of this sum was turned over to the coroner by Mrs. Woods where he roomed. and with whom he had deposited his money. All the cash he had on hand was in gold, there being nine $20 gold pieces it is stated.-----"THE MUSCATINE JOURNAL", Muscatine, Iowa, January 19, 1919, page 4----- HATTEN DEATH DUE TO NATURAL CAUSE ------------ That George Hatton, Jr., the Muscatine man who was found dead in the snow in front of the Rock Island distributing company building in Rock Island, January 10, came to his death by a natural cause, is shown in the following report, of John G. Miller, coroner of Rock Island county.------ January 17, 1919----- To Whom It May Concern: George Hatton, Jr., came to his death in the city of Rock Island, ILL., on January 10th, S. D. 1919. Deceased was found lying in the snow in front of the Rock Island distributing company building at 312 24th street between sidewalk and building. Deceased was carried by friends into Clyde Woods restaurant where he had been stopping and where Dr. Joseph Depitar was called at once, but he had passed away before the doctor arrived. I was then called and took charge of the body and had it removed to the undertaking parlors where I conducted an inquest on the evening of January 11. No marks of violence were found on the body of the deceased and the jury found that the deceased had come to his death as a result of acute dilation of the heart. (Signed) John G. Miller, coroner. Rock Island County.----- Some information from June Brewer Welsch: George last name was Hatten and Fannie last name was Hayes but I found it spelt both ways. The Muscatine County marriage record said George W. Hatten and Fannie Hayes were married 22 June 1896 in Muscatine Iowa. They were divorced June 17, 1917.

JOHN HAURIGAN DEAD-----Well Known Fremont Melon-Grower Victim of Heart Failure----John Haurigan, Fremont's well-known grower of melons, died very suddenly last night at his room in the Commerical National Bank Building. He was a victim of heart failure. After supper he was seized suddenly with violet illness and threw himself on a lounge. Dudley O'Connor, who was with him, summoned a physician and efforts were bent to give the suffering man relief, but to no avail. His death occurred about 9:30 o'clock. Mr. Haurigan held the friendship and esteem of all who knew him. He was a conscientious, hard working man, possessed of qualities of kindness and generosity. He had raised a large family of children and had established himself as the leading melon grower in Nebraska. He came here from Muscatine, Ia., where the melon industry is a leading factor and with his experienced eye detected opportunities for similar development here in the sandy bottom lands along the Platte River. His success was won at the expense of hard toil and several failures, but he succeded and during the last few years Haurigans melons had gained a fame that was more than statewide. The past dry year was the best year he had exerienced and the returns were such as placed him in a position to retire from the more arduous duties of the farm. It was particularly sad, then, that at this moment he should be stricken with a fatal malady. Heart trouble, which had been affecting him slightly for two years or more, took a turn for the worse and on July 3, while working the field, he suffered a severe attack. Soon after he decided to retire and sold out to his son, Charles, later arranging for quarters at the Commercial National Building to eliminate tedious daily trips from his farm. Mr. Haurigan was born in Tipperary, Ireland, Nov. 22, 1853. He came with his parents to Muscatine, Ia., when he was eight years of age. In 1891 he came from Muscatine to Fremont and with the exception of one year year spent in Omaha, resided here continously. He was married in 1880 at Muscatine. Mrs. Haurigan died in 1910 in Omaha. Seven children are the close surviving relatives; Mrs. R.R. Corcoran, Minneapolis; Mrs. O. R. Ferrell, Fremont; Mrs. J. W. Miller, Fremont; Charles R., Fremont; Mrs. H. C. Keeler; Fremont; Leslie, Tekamah; and Mrs. A. C. Gerken, Tekemah. A brother, Tom, resides at Melstone, Mont., and a brother, Richard, at Seattle, Wash.

DEAD BODY OF JOS. HAYES FOUND IN BED----DISCOVERY MADE BY NIGHT CLERK AT HOTEL---Joseph Boal, Clerk at the European, Makes Startling Discovery at 7 O'clock Last Night----The dead body of Joseph Hayes was found last night at 7 o'clock at the European hotel by Joseph Boal, night clerk at the hotel. Boal called the man and failed to receive any response and becoming alarmed he entered through a window and found the man's body lying on the bed dead, but still warm. Dr. Oliver was called and he gave it as his opinion that death was due to an overdose of morphine, which effected the man's heart. He had been heard groaning during the day and was evidently ill. He had occupied the room since Wednesday. The body was taken to the home of a daughter of the dead man, Mrs. R. K. Smith, where he had been making his home. He had been missed Wednesday by the family of his daughter, but no attention had been paid to the fact, as he often went over into Illinois to visit relatives and it was supposed that was where he was until they received information that he was dead. It is stated that he sometimes took morphine on account of severe pains brought on by stomach trouble and it is thought that he may have taken an overdose.---Actions Not Unusual.---The man had sometimes stopped at the hotel before and remained in his room all day, therefore no significance was attached to the fact that he did not come out of the room during the day but when night came and he still remained there, the clerk decided to investigate, with the above result. He could not have been dead but a few minutes when he was found.----Obituary.----Mr. Hayes was born in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, Oct. 14, 1839, and came to this vicinity in early youth, residing in various places near here ever since. During his active years he was engaged in farming, until a couple of years ago when he came to live with his daughter in this city.
