The Frankfort Roundabout (Frankfort, Kentucky)
May 14, 1887 (Saturday)
"We were painfully surprised on Thursday evening last when Mr. C. C. Furr came into our office and read us a dispatch from his brother, Mr. D[avid] P[orter] Hiter, announcing the sudden death of his wife, Mrs. Sallie Harlan Hiter, which sad event happened in Kansas City, Mo., whither Mr. Hiter and his family had only a few days ago gone to reside.
Mrs. Hiter was the daughter of Hon. James Harlan, sr., [sic] and the sister of Judge Jno. M. Harlan, of the U. S. Supreme Court, Judge James Harlan, jr., [sic] of Louisville, and Mrs. Dr. James G. Hatchitt [Hatchett], of Quenemo, Kansas. She passed through this city on Tuesday, May 3, on her way to her new home, and was, to all appearance, the very picture of health, and was buoyant with hope and happiness at the prospect of locating advantageously at her new home.
For long years she had been a consistent member of trie Presbyterian Church, and though the summons was sudden it found her not unprepared.
Alas! alas! how soon our brightest hopes are blighted by the icy hand of the grim destroyer. Another playmate of our childhood has gone to the home beyond. May the sod rest gently on her peaceful bosom.
Her remains will reach here this morning on the 10:20 train, and the burial services will take place at our beautiful cemetery, where she will calmly rest by the side of her loved ones who have but gone before.
The friends will please take notice and be governed accordingly." END
