OBITUARY MRS BIRD HART
When the draperies of mortality are pushed aside by the Almighty's hand, and we are permitted to look upon the scene of the eternal city, we shall behold one scene in which all participants are heroes, and the heroes like the divine.
To chronicle the death of a loved one is always grievious though the thoughts of eternity are radiant with hope.    
On Sunday, Aug. 30th., in Bedford, Iowa, after a lingering sickness of nearly two years, Mrs. Bertha P. Hart "Bird", as we more familliarly called her, left with us the body of suffering, while the pure and gentle spirit returned to God. Surrounded by husband, mother, sister and brother, and other dear ones, she peacefully fell asleep.
Birth, life, death! The coming into life welcomed by all, her young life guarded only as parental love can guard; the expanding and growing of a sweet and gentle disposition, the maturing of a lovely character, and then the wider sphere of wife and mother, and still on the going out of the life into the eternal beyond, and we say her life is ended, but is it so ? Is the measuring of this brief span of years to earth all there is of life? Ah! no there is the other side, the continual unfolding of the life in the presence of Him, whose years know no beginning nor ending, and in whose likeness and image, we shall be satisfied when we awaken.
The life of Mrs. Bird Hart, was an earnest faithful one. When a girl she gave her heart to Christ, and her name to the Methodist church. "Simplicity, purity, sincerity formed for her a triple robe of rare lovliness. These beautiful traits of character led her naturally and easily along the straight and even path of guileless sincerity upon which ever rests the sunlight of heaven.
Bertha F. Little was born in Ross County, Ohio, June 4th., 1872. and died in Bedford, Iowa, Aug., 30th., 1914, aged 42 years 2 months and 26 days. She was united in marriage to Frank W. Hart June 14th., 1891, and was the mother of one child, a daughter, Hazel, dying 17 years ago at the age of 13 months.
It hath been truly said, "Those who have gone from you you have. Those who depart loving you, love still, and you love them always. They are not really gone, those dear hearts and true, they are only gone into the next room and you will presently follow them."
The funeral services were conducted from her "old home church", the Methodist chruch, Braddyville, Iowa, Tuesday at 2 o'clock, Sept., 1st. Rev. Jas. A. Ross, Methodist pastor of Lorimor, Iowa, who was the pastor at Braddyville, 19 years ago, and who received her into the church, and who officiated at her marriage, and later preached the funeral sermon of her "little Hazel", and who also preached the funeral sermon of Mrs. C. Hart, mother of the husband, Frank Hart, was present and conducted the funeral, assisted by Rev. Roy Thomas, present pastor at Braddyville. Tender and appropriate hymns were sung, the floral offerings were many and beautiful, the church was beautifully draped, and was filled with the friends of the family, and of her earlier girlhood days. All of the immediate members of the family were present. With the husband from Bedford, Iowa, were Mr. Harry Little and wife, and children, and from Omaha, Nebraska, the sister, Mrs. G. G. Gearhart, and husband, and mother, Mrs. Mary Little. Interment was in the Braddyville cemetery beside the little daughter, Hazel, on the "Hart family lot."

Mary Campbell Taggart was born May 2nd, 1873, in Belmont county, Ohio, in the bounds of Uniontown Presbyterian congregation of which her grandfather was the pastor for forty years, and died in Clarinda, Iowa, June 7th, 1913, at 1:00 a, m., aged forty yeans, one month and 5 days.    She was the  daughter of William and Annie J. Taggart and was one of a family   of five children, two sisters, Mrs. Mattie McKee and Sadie Taggart, and two brothers, Isaac and William, all of whom   survive   except   her father. The deceased came to Iowa with her parents in March, 1874, and lived in Clarinda five years.    The family removed in 1879    to    a farm near Braddyville which   was the home of her childhood.   She attended Amity college and graduated in the scientific course in 1896. After graduation she taught five years in country schools.   Then she accepted the chair of English and French in Huron college  South Dakota, where she taught for   two years, when she was elected professor of English in Amity college, where she taught for three yeans, endearing herself to her students by her beautifnl Christian character and sympathetic loving disposition. She was a woman of great literary ability which made her popular teacher and a favorite with her students.
When the congregation of College Springe was celebrating its fiftieth anniversary it was Mary Taggart that was asked to write the fifty years of history and this she did after the most painstaking investigation and with such ability that it will   remain   to testify her literary gifts,   She was married March 22, 1911, to Lorrence L. Hart and together with, her husband made her home on his farm near Burlington Junction, Mo.   And it was a home where loving fellowship and the most intimate friendship made glad the hearts of both husband and wife.   For only 2 short years were they permitted to enjoy the bliss of the home when her sickness and declining strength forshadowed the coming   separation   and again and again she remarked, "We have lived so many years in these two." With loving, sympathetic heart she had lived these two years in the home which she had tried to make attractive    to   her beloved husband. And the thought uppermost in her mind while in the hospital was to recover her health that she might return to the home she   loved so dearly. She professed her faith in Christ and united with the College Springs United Presbyterian church December   21st, 1889, and was a loyal, active member and a teacher in the Sabbath school. After her marriage she removed her membership to the Burlington Junction United Presbyterian church and was a member of this congregation at the time of her death.
The funeral was held Monday afternoon from the home of her mother, Mrs. William C. Taggart, on the home farm northwest of Braddyville. It was conducted by Rev. Nesbit, pastor of the United Presbyterian church at College Springs, assisted by Rev. Mnmford of College Springs and by Rev. W.C.

Word came from New Market Monday forenoon that Arnold Hartman had been killed instantly by coming in contact with a high tension electric wire. It is said he was assisting Clarence Mason, a pump repairer, in fixing a pump at Mr. Hartman's place and while they were raising a long iron rod from the well the upper end came in contact with a live wire above carrying a 13,000 voltage. Mr. Mason was severely shocked but wearing a pair of rubber boots at the time saved his life as these broke connection with the earth. Mr. Hartman conducted a general store over there and was a highly respected young man.

Arnold Hartman   of   New Market Meets Death From Overhead Wire.
Arnold Hartman, a clothing merchant at New Market, met death last Monday morning while he was helping Eck Neeley lower a pump in a well which was in his front yard near the side walk.   They had connected the pump and a long piece of pipe together and were in the act of putting it in the well when one end of the pipe came in contact with the high tension wire which runs from the town to the mines.   Mr. Arnold was holding the end of the pipe nearest the well, while Mr. Neeley raised the other end, when Mr. Neeley became unbalanced, letting the top back against the wire.   Mr. Arnold was killed instantly.   The current passed through the body burning his arms and the ends of his fingers.  The line carried 13,000 volts.    Mr Neeley had on a pair of rubber boots, which was all that saved his life.   He was knocked down and badly shaken up, but received no serious injury.
The overhead wire which carried the electricity that caused the man's death is a part of the Lee Light & Power Company's property. From New Market there is an extension to the mines, from which the mines are lighted and it runs part of' their machinery. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jun 3, 1915

Mrs. Anna Lizzie Harvison, the daughter of Thomas and Mary French Irwin, was born in Somanank Illinois, May 12, 1865, and died Sept. 20, 1916 in her 51st year. In March 1881, Mrs. Harvison came with her father, brother and sister to Clarinda where they located on a farm. On May 24th, 1883 she was married to Jas. S. Harvison, and here in Clarinda their family was reared.
She is survived by her husband, Jas. S. Harvison; son Glen of Lamar, Colo.; daughter, Maribell, who lived at home; her father, Thomas and his wife; her sister, Isabel of Glenwood; brothers, William and Thomas.
Mrs. Harvison's illness was short. She had not been feeling well for some time, but performed her duties up until ten days before her death, at which time she was taken ill. Her physician was called and an operation was found necessary, and all were hopefull of her recovery, but this was not the plan of Him who holds our lives in his hand and the end came Wednesday morning. She seemed to be prescient that the change was comming. She was a devoted mother. This was pre-eminently her sphere. Although she was one of our business circle, the home and its interests filled a large place in her heart. She was untiring in her efforts to make the home life what it ought to be. Her devotion to the circle of loved ones was clearly marked, and her unselfishness and thoughtfulness for her own bound them close together.
Mrs. Harvison with Mrs. Thos. Irwin opened a millinery shop in our city in July, 1900, where they successfully conducted business until January, 1913, when Mrs. Harvison purchased the controlling interest and with the aid of her daughter she has built up a very pleasing and profitable patronage.
In the business world her congenial disposition and charming personality brought her a host of friends who mourn her loss.
In her early life she made confession of her faith in Christ, and through the years has filled her place in the United Presbyterian Church, being a member also of the Sabbath School and Missionary Society.
She will be greatly missed in the home and in her wide circle of friends and in the church.
The funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Rev. W. C. Williamson at the Harvison home on North Sixteenth Street, Friday, Sept. 22, 1916.
The following relatives and friends from out of town attended the services:

VAIN ATTEMPT TO SAVE LIFE BY OPERATION
Was taken ill one week ago and operated on  Saturday morning
The city was in deep grief as the news spread of the death of J. M. Rumbaugh and had just recovered from the shock when the word came that Mrs. Harvison had passed away from the effects of cancer.
Mrs. Harvison has not been well for several months and seems to have grown worse and upon examination a cancer was found and an operation was deemed the only means of saving her life. The same was preformed at the Kennelworth Hospital on Saturday morning and for a time the patient seemed to be rapidly improving though the position of the cancer was such that Dr. Killingsworth held little hopes for her recovery.
Mrs. Harvison regained conciousness after the operation and remained so until the last moment and seemed ready and willing to die for she had always lived a Christian, life and had naught to fear but that The Maker would say "well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of the Lord."
The funeral services will be held from the home, conducted by Rev. W. C. Williamson at 2:30 Friday afternoon.

Rev. W. C. Williamson conducted the services, the remains being then taken to the Clarinda cemetery, following being the obituary read at the funeral:
Anna Lizzie, oldest child of Thomas and Mary French Irwin, was born in Somanauk, Ill., May 12th, 1865, died Sept, 20th, 1916, aged 51 years, 4 months and 8 days. In March of 1881 her father, with his family, came to Clarinda, locating on a farm just east of the hospital.
On May 24th, 1883, she was united in marriage to Jas. S. Harvison, who, with their two children, Glen and Maribel, survive her, and with her father and wife, sister Isabel, brother, Will, and family and little brother, Tom, besides a host of sympathizing relatives and friends mourn her untimely death. For none knew her but to love her. None named her but to praise.
In early life she gave her heart to her Savior uniting with the United Presbyterian church at her childhood home. Somanauk, Ill. Her consistent christian life ever stood out a shining light in her everyday life, and in whatever activity or phase she was placed.
She, with Mrs. Thos. Irwin, entered the business circle of our town, in July 1, 1900, by purchasing the millinery stock on the south side of the square, where they successfully conducted their store, until Jan. 1913. Since which time she has carried on the business with the assistance of her daughter, Maribel. She was a much loved and useful member of our congregation, S. S. and Missionary society and never absent from the weekly prayer meeting, save when unavoidably detained. So we have very briefly told the story of this sweet, pure life, so unselfish, so devoted to her dear ones. It has been evident to her family for some time that she was not well, but that a fatal malady had begun to fasten upon her had not been suspected by any of us. So uncomplaining, so quietly had she suffered. Two weeks ago yesterday morning she was taken ill, when her physician was called he found her condition so serious, that the one chance for recovery was an operation, which was performed Saturday and that she would be "well again was hopefully looked forward to by her loved ones, but on last Tuesday evening anisthetic pneumonia fastened upon her with such severity, that her weakened condition would not resist the attack and at 3:20 Wednesday morning she peacefully passed away to be with her Savior and her dear mother who passed before her to that better world when Lizzie was a little girl five years old. So we are here to pay tribute to her precious body which lies in her casket as one in a peaceful sleep, taking deepest comfort in the fact that her faith in Jesus, was what sustained her in every trial, enabled her to live a useful life and die a peaceful and .triumphant death.

MRS. HATHAWAY'S DEATH
Mrs. Hathaway, Formerly  Mrs. Sharp Of Clarinda Dies At Clay Center.
The many friends here of Mrs. E. Hathaway, of Clay Center, Kans., formerly Mrs. Sharp, of this city, were shocked to hear of her death in September 2d, after a short illness. The Clay Center Times contained the following notice of Mrs. Hathaway's death:
After a week's illness following a very serious operation, Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Hathaway, wife of E. Hathaway, passed away Thursday night at 11 o'clock at the Clay Center hospital. The death seemed like such a particularly sad one as Mrs. Hathaway had made her home in Clay Center for so short a time, had just moved into a fine new home and was getting acquainted with and was so well liked by all Clay Center friends. She was taken sick not a long while ago. It seemed as though an operation was necessary. After it was performed but little hope was given for her recovery for her condition was found to be very serious. So while the relatives were prepared for the death, yet it came to them with a sudden shock.
Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock the funeral was held from the home of E. Starr on Fifth street, burial occurring at Greenwood cemetery Rev. Henry, of Pennsylvania, who is visiting his parents here, preached the sermon. It was a very largely attended funeral.
Mrs. Hathaway was 48 years old at the time of her death. She had lived in Iowa much of her life and but six months ago came to Clay Center with her husband, E. Hathaway, when he purchased into the Starr-Peckham store, from Glidden, Iowa, their former home. At once on coming here they built a nice new home and had just moved in when Mrs. Hathaway was taken sick. She was a very bright, attractive matron and had made a large circle of friends here during her brief residence in this city. All these mourn her death and regret exceedingly that she was not spared for many years to come to brighten the city with her charming personality. She was the mother of one child, Mrs. Harry Starr, who, together with the husband, E. Hathaway, are left to mourn her death. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Sep 23, 1909

CLARINDA PIONEER GONE.
J.  D. Hawley, Clarinda's Oldest Merchant, Laid to Rest Monday.
As foreshadowed last Thursday, Clarinda's pioneer merchant, James Danforth Hawley, passed away last week—the hour of his demise being four o'clock Friday afternoon, October 8th, and the last sad rites were observed at the home Monday afternoon. Rev. Cameron, his minister, read the following sketch of his life, much of it being taken from the Page County History. In a life that had extended over three fourths of a century, Mr. Hawley knew practically no other home than Page county, and throughout a business experience of near half a century, Clarinda was his home and field of business.
James Danforth Hawley, born in Detroit, Mich., Nov. 29, 1836. In 1848 his parents moved to Missouri, locating in Buchanan county and in 1853 came to Page county, locating at Hawleyville in Nebraska township, which was laid out by his father and named after him. Eleven years later in 1864, Mr. Hawley came to Clarinda entering the general store of Curtis-Hawley & Co. In 1866 he purchased the interest of his partners in the business, which he continued to carry on until his death in his own name. He was married on Dec. 25, 1859, to Miss Sarah E. McAlpin. He was successful - not only in business but in the art of making friends, and the esteem in which he was held by his fellow citizens and merchants is witnessed today by their gracious act in closing their places of business. Received into the Presbyterian church on confession of faith in 1868. Our Brother entered into his rest last Friday afternoon, Oct. 8, at 4 o'clock. His immediate relatives who feel most today the hurt of bereavement are his wife and son, Arthur J. Hawley, and his two sisters, Mrs. Ada Zimmerman of St. Joseph and Mrs. Julia Chamberlain of Clarinda.
The funeral services were conducted at the Hawley home on North Eighteenth Street Monday afternoon at four o'clock p. m., Rev. Robert A. Cameron, pastor of the Presbyterian church of which the deceased had long been a member conducting the impressive ceremonies and preaching a very comforting and helpful sermon from the well known text, "Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in God, believe also in me, etc." A quartet composed of Mrs. H. E. Parslow, Miss Mabel Brown, Mr. Walter Cramer and Mr. Glenn Foster, sang very beautifully the three fine old selections: Rock of Ages, Lead Kindly Light and Gathering Home. The remains were laid to rest in the Clarinda cemetery and practically the entire body of business men of the city united in attending the services and honoring the pioneer merchant of Clarinda, a man who had been in business in Clarinda continuously since 1866— nearly half a century. The pall bearers were his close neighbors and old time friends, V. Graff, J. H. Dunlap, A. F. Beal, G. I. Miller, G. Wm. Richardson, and J. P. Brown.
During the hour of the funeral practically every business house in the city closed in respect for the deceased. The resolution signed by the business men, together with the names of those who signed it were as follows:

Hawley, was engaged in helping his father, the late J. M. Hawley, in the mercantile business at Hawleyville.     Miss McAlpin and J. D. Hawley were married in Clarinda, Dec. 25, 1859, at the home of the bride's half sister, Mrs. Henry Farrens.  The bride and groom did not move to Clarinda until 1860.   A few years after coming to   Clarinda the husband was in business for himself, having a store here, the continuation of which is still conducted by the surviving   son,   A.   J.   Hawley. One brother also survives Mrs. Hawley— L. B. McAlpin, this city.  Her husband. J. D. Hawley, died here Oct. 9, 1909.

OBITUARY.
Maude Ethel Hawthorne was born in Monroe county, Iowa, April 6, 1888, and died at her home in College Springs June 14, 1908. She was the only daughter of Mrs. Mary Hawthorne and with her mother leaves two brothers, George and Edwin, besides many relatives and friends to mourn her early death. Maude had just passed her twentieth birthday and life with all its promise stretched before her. She had been a student in Amity College for the past four years, taking such studies as her health permitted. For the last four years she had gradually declined in health; last November having diagnosed her disease as diabetes, her physician could give her no hope of recovery. From week to week she grew weaker, but retained her buoyancy and hope. She attended commencement exercises last Thursday and entered heartily into the spirit of the day. None who met her bright, cheery, smiling face thought she would so soon hear the summons of the Master. Saturday afternoon she took worse, but her friends did not realize her condition was so serious until she passed into a state of unconsciousness from which she never rallied. She was a member of the United Presbyterian church and was also a member of the Young People's Christian Union. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J. P. Nesbit, assisted by Dr. R. T. Campbell. The floral offerings were beautiful and profuse, her Sabbath School class and the members of the Y. P. C. U., besides friends contributing. The relatives from a dsstance were, Hugh Hawthorne, of Albia, Iowa, Mrs. Dr. Hawthorne and children, of Maywood, Nebr., Robt. Thompson, of Avery, la., David Hawthorne, of Frederic, la., and T. J. Hawthorne, of Clarinda. Maude loved her church and in return enjoyed the esteem and love of the membership. She was very patient during all her sickness and will be missed not only in the home circle but among her friends and acquaintances. Her kind, thoughtful, cheerful disposition has shed an influence for good that will not be forgotten by those who knew her best. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Jun 19, 1908
