Death came at 10:10 o'clock Tuesday night to the Rev. Israel Hatton at the Lafayette Home hospital, where he had been a patient since September 28. A cerebral hemorrhage was the cause of death. Mr. Hatton, 90 years of age, was a retired Methodist preacher. He and Mrs. Hatton had lived in Mulberry since 1939, the year that he retired from the active ministry. He had been ill since June, when he was seized by a series of heart attacks.
Israel Hatton was born near Huntington, W. VA., June 23, 1867. He was the oldest of three sons of Francis M. and Eliza (Hollenback) Hatton. The parents and children came to Indiana in October, 1868, and settled in Sheffield township, Tippecanoe county, where they spent the rest of their lives.
Mr. Hatton received his first education at home, being taught by his mother. At the age of 10 he started to school, graduating from Dayton high school in 1884. He continued at the same school for another three years to prepare for a career of teaching. He began teaching September 26, 1887, and taught in district schools for five years, was principal of town schools for 11 years, and was principal of the Dayton school for five years.
Further education was received at the State Teachers college, Terre Haute. He graduated from that institution in 1898. He continued his studies at Indiana university.
Being reared in a home with devout Christian parents, Mr. Hatton felt his religious convictions early in life. He joined the Methodist church at Dayton when he was 15 years of age. While teaching he felt the urge to preach and in 1903 he was admitted on trial into the Northwest Indiana Conference of the Methodist Church by Bishop Isaac W. Joyce. He was ordained deacon and admitted into full membership by Bishop C. H. Fowler in 1905, and ordained elder by Bishop W. F. McDowell in 1907.
He served the following appointments: Reynolds, 1903-05; Indiana Harbor, 1905-08; River Park, South Bend, 1908-10; Riverside Park, Indianapolis, 1910-11; West Terre Haute, 1911-13; Rosedale, 1913-16; Zionsville, 1916-19; Romney, 1919-Feb. 1, 1923; Williamsport, Feb. 1, 1923-24; Darlington, 1924-26; Plainfield, 1926-28; Dana, 1928-32; North Liberty, 1932-35; Dayton, 1935-39. He then retired at the conference of 1939.
Mr. Hatton then became a supply preacher and filled the pulpit at the Cloverleaf Methodist church, Fickle, and brought that church out of the doldrums. He served this church until 1948, when he quit the ministry altogether.
On Feb. 12, 1915, the Rev. Mr. Hatton and Miss Rosalie Mitchell of Indianapolis were united in marriage. She survives along with two brothers, Edgar Hatton of Havanna, Ill., and William Hatton of Tres Pinos, Calif.
Mr. Hatton was a member of the Mulberry Quarterly conference and Mulberry lodge No. 618, F. & A. M. During his preaching years he served on the committee of Conference Relations, the board of trustees of the Conference, as assistant to the Conference statistician for a number of years, and was a member of the Conference Historical society from its organization in 1915. He was Conference Historian until 1925 and then was president of the Historical society from 1924 until 1941 when he asked to be relieved. He was then made president-emeritus of the society.
In May, 1940, Mr. Hatton began writing his column, "Past and Present," for the Mulberry Reporter. He continued this column weekly until June 27, 1947, when illness compelled him to quit.
Funeral services will be held at 2 o'clock Friday afternoon in the Mulberry Methodist church, with the Rev. Jack A. Fitzgerald presiding. The body will lie in state at the church for one hour preceding the service. The Rev. P. J. Hamilton will read the scripture; the Rev. Thomas L. Stovall, executive secretary of the Preachers' Aid society, will offer personal words; prayer will be voiced by the Rev. C. C. Bosse, and a message of comfort will be delivered by the Rev. H. Earl Moore. The Rev. Mr. Fitzgerald will sing and Robert L. Clark will be the organist.
Burial will be in the Rossville cemetery. Honorary pallbearers will be retired preachers of the Northwest Indiana conference. The Kleinsmith Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
