ANOTHER MOTHER GONE TO REST.
Stricken With Paralysis and Lived Three Days---
Came to DeWitt County Over Forty Years Ago.
Wednesday morning of last week Mrs. Emily Hartsock was stricken with paralysis at her home on South Center street. She was unconscious and remained so, excepting a few hours, death coming to her about 8 o'clock Saturday morning. Her maiden name was Emily James and she was born July 25, 1834, near Bellbrook, O., where she was married to Geo. Hartsock Sep. 31, 1852. In 1862 they came to Illinois and located in Texas township, southeast of Clinton, which was their home until about seven years ago when her husband died. A year later she came to Clinton. She is survived by the following children: Emerson, who resides in Lane; Edwin, near Dayton, O.; William, near Lane, who occupies the old homestead; Mae and Ralph, at home. She is also survived by a sister, Mrs. Lydia Sloan, of Ashton, O., and two brothers, B. F. James, of Bellbrook, O., and John James, of Seattle, Wash. She was loved by all who knew her and was always ready to assist those in need. She was kind to all her friends and they were pained to learn of her death. Her life was a busy one and the world is better for her having lived in it. Funeral services were held at the residence Monday at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. N. M. Rigg. Burial in Woodlawn cemetery.
Note: Another source has a marriage date of Oct. 21, 1852.
