Notes From Maple Grove:
Mrs. James Hartnett of Franklin died last week at the home of her daughter Mrs. Thos. Sullivan. Mrs. Hartnett was eighty-four years of age and had lived in Franklin since 1853. She was another of those pioneer mothers who struggled with primeval conditions in endeavoring to establish a home in the wilderness.
The history of the pioneers of this section of the county is one record of wonderful endurance, patient suffering and almost heroic persistence and this old lady possessed all the noble qualities that seem common to the early settlers. Moreover she was a woman of generous impulse and the tender care bestowed upon her six
grandchildren who were early deprived of a mother's care-prove that the impulse ripened into action. These children were her solace and pride in her declining years.
She will always have a place in their memory as a second mother, and the grief they feel should be somewhat alleviated by the thought that she lived long enough for them to prove their gratitude and love to her.
