Mrs. Harriet Lucretia Laird, 88, died at 3:50 o'clock yesterday afternoon in the home of her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Fred E. Farnsworth, 803 Grand court, where she had resided since 1925. Death was due to complications following an extended illness.
She was born May 26, 1857, in Muscatine, Iowa, a daughter of Julius and Mary Miller, and was married to Orville B. Laird, June 10, 1891, in Elmhurst. She is a member of First Presbyterian church, Davenport.
Surviving besides her daughter are a granddaughter, Mrs. Curtis Adkins, Kenosha, Wis., and a grandson, Fred E. Farnsworth, seaman (seond class). She was preceded in death by her husband in February 1901.
Funeral services will be at 1:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon in the Hill and Fredericks mortuary and burial will be in Davenport Memorial Park cemetery. The Rock Island Argus, Rock Island, Illinois, 12 July 1945, Thursday
(I confirmed that Harriet is buried in Davenport Memorial Park and there is a headstone for her. Another headstone places her beside her husband, Orville, in Tahoma Cemetery, Yakima, but I suspect her name was put on his headstone at the time of his death in 1902 and that she was not actually buried there 43 years later.)
