Maquoketa Excelsior, October 11, 1912

DIED-
May Crane Hamley born July 27, 1879, in South Fork Township, Jackson County, 
Iowa. Here she grew to early womanhood and being the only child of Mr. and 
Mrs. R. W. Crane, she brought sunshine and devotion. In early life she became 
acquainted with and gave her hand in marriage to Dr. Eugene Hamley, August 1, 
1899. She was with him through the four years’ course at Rush Medical College, 
Chicago. At this place a child was born into their home named Myrtle, but her 
stay on earth was brief, and she left for the brighter home beyond. One can 
see why the doctor’s institution is called Myrtle Hospital. A boy was born to 
them and he survives. After graduation they settled in Sprague, Washington. 
About four years ago she united with the Congregational Church. While at North 
Yakima, Washington, she was taken with her last illness, and though all that 
loving hands and medical skill could do, for her husband dismissed all others, 
and gave her his utmost attention-yet she heard the summons, “Come Home.” 
Conscious to the last she spoke of her departure and even made some 
arrangements therefor. Her mother made the long trip to minister, as only a 
mother can, but her spirit took his flight Tuesday morning, October 8, 1912. 
The remains were brought back to her childhood scenes, arriving Saturday 
afternoon. She leaves to mourn her loss a father and mother, husband and son, 
besides many relatives and hosts of friends. Funeral services were conducted 
at the parent’s home Sunday afternoon at three o’clock by Rev. C. W. Cleveland 
of Elwood, who used Paul’s text, “Wherefor comfort one another with these 
words.” Interment was made in the beautiful Mt. Hope Cemetery in Maquoketa. 
Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Priaulx sang.
