DEATH OF W. H. HATCH

Veteran Business man Died This Morning After a Brief Illness


W. H. Hatch, the oldest business man in Carthage, died this morning at 10 minutes before six o'clock at his home on south Main Street after an illness of only a few days. Few knew that the old gentleman was sick and the news of his death came as a shock to his hosts of friends.

Mr. Hatch was nearly seventy-eight years of age, and while remarkably vigorous for one of his years, had been in failing health for some time and was frequently ill, being a great sufferer from a hernia which finally strangulated and caused his death. He was taken sick last Tuesday night and was unable to leave his bed till Wednesday noon but came down to his store that afternoon. During the night he was sick again and became much worse on Thursday evening. Yesterday his condition became alarming and he gradually grew worse till he died just before six o'clock this morning. The end came peacefully with scarcely a struggle, the patient having been in a sort of stupor for several hours from which he did not arouse. His wife and all his children were at his bedside when the end came.

Mr. Hatch would have been, had he lived, 78 years of age on the 8th of next November, he having been born in New England on that date in the year 1821.

On the 3rd of July, 1849, he was married at Westfield, Ohio to Miss Cordelia Bell who survives him. the 3rd of next July would have been the fiftieth or golden wedding anniversary of their marriage and they had only a week ago issued handsome invitations to a large company of their friends to be present at the celebration of that unusual even.
Mr. Hatch had taken remarkable interest in planning the numerous details of this entertainment and had himself delivered every one of the several hundred invitations for Carthage people. A family reunion was to have been a feature of the celebration and friends and relative from all parts of the country were to have been here. The invitations will now of course all be recalled, and in their stead, to friends at a distance will be sent appropriate memorial cards.

Mr. Hatch has lived in Carthage for fifteen years having come here from Des Moines, Iowa. He began his career in business a poor boy as a peddler in Litchfield, Connecticut and continued as a peddler for three years when he started in business for himself in New York and has been in business continually ever since, having resided in Ohio and Iowa prior to coming to Carthage.
His business career covers a period of nearly 60 years and had been very successful. He leaves an estate worth probably $50,000. Mr. Hatch was always known as a thoroughly honorable, straightforward business man, and it was one of the happy thoughts of his life that his strict integrity and fair dealing had prospered him so that in his declining years he could feel independent financially and be well provided with the comforts of life. All that he had in the way of wealth was due to his own efforts in making money and taking care of it after he made it. The home on South Main street, in which he had lived for thirteen years past, was paid for by a Building and Loan investment of small proportions begun when he was a young man.

Mr. Hatch was a generous, kindhearted man, and, as one of those who knew him best said this morning, he did a great deal of giving of which little was known by anybody except those receiving his aid. In Carthage he was known as an exemplary citizen and public spirited and thoroughly competent business man. He was a strictly moral man in every sense of the word and was a leading and consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal church. He was especially fond of Carthage and was enthusiastic in extolling it's virtues.
The death of W. H. Hatch will be sincerely mourned by almost the whole city, for to everyone who knew him this kind, goodhearted old man was a friend and brother. His bereaved family have the sincere sympathy of all. He leaves besides his wife, now almost 73 years of age, three children, Mrs. Vernon of Des Moines, Iowa; Mrs. F. W. Flower and Frank Hatch of this city.
The funeral will be held at the family residence on South Main street conducted by Dr. J. W. Stewart, of the Methodist church. The Masonic order, of which the deceased was a member, will have charge of the service.
