HENRY H. DAY
No more general expression of profound regret was ever heard in Chariton that that expressed Saturday morning when the death of H. H. Day was announced. For three years he had been ill with kidney and bladder trouble and while it was known that he could not recover, yet the news of his death was none the less painful and brought sadness to many hearts.
He passed peacefully away at his home on Saturday morning, August 24, 1901, at three o'clock, surrounded by the members of his family who had tenderly cared for him during the long months of his illness with an untiring devotion.
Largely attended funeral services, conducted by Rev. W. V. Whitten, were held at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Minnie D. McCollough, on Sunday afternoon at two o'clock, under the auspices of the I.O.O.F., deceased having been a worthy member of that order for many years, almost since its organization. At the conclusion of the services the remains were gently laid to rest in the Chariton cemetery.
Henry H. Day was born in Washington, Guernsey county, Ohio, on February 8, 1824. At an early age he moved to Belmont county, Ohio, and worked at his trade, that of a wagon and carriage maker. He was married there on August 14, 1852, to Miss Rebecca Hatcher, who survives him. In March, 1857, they came to Iowa and located on a farm in Jackson township, this county, where they lived ten years and then moved to Chariton where they have since resided.
He conducted a general merchandise store here for several years and became widely known throughout the county. In 1863 he was elected representative from this county to the Iowa State Legislature, and for twelve years he served our people as a member of the board of supervisors. Those positions of public trust were ably filled and in a manner which reflected great credit upon him.
In all the relations of life he aimed to be true to the best interests of mankind and his worth was widely recognized. He was pleasant in his manner, kind hearted and charitable, ever ready with a kind word when a kind word would do good. His life was full of unselfish devotion to his duty to mankind, and he was not unprepared to meet his Maker.
When quite young he was converted and united with the M. E. church. He was humble in his religious life, and his deeds cast a good influence about those with whom he associated. He was ever ready to aid the distressed and life humanity to a higher plane of living. There are many admirable traits in the character of Mr. Day which, if emulated, would make people happier and the world better.
Honored by the young, respected by the old, cherished by near ones, and esteemed by all, the end of his journey has come, and his spirit has entered into its eternal rest.
Mr. Day was the father of three children, Harry Day, Mrs. Jessie Peake, and Mrs. Minnie McCollough, all of whom reside here. Two brothers and two sisters in Ohio are also living. To the bereaved ones in their great grief, the deepest sympathy of the entire community is extended.
