Death Twice Invades Home in a Day

Mother and step mother in law of John Harbison of Cedarville
die at his home Sat.

With in a period of less that a day the angel of death twice
visited of the home of Mr. John Harbison, who resides on the
Clifton Pike, three miles from Cedarville .  At ten o'clock
Mr. Harbison's mother, Mrs. Margaret Harbison, an aged and
prominent woman of that locality, passed away and at midnight
of the same day his wife's step mother Mrs. Ebenezer Cooper of
Indianapolis, answered the final summons.  Mrs. Cooper was
called to Cedarville by the critical illness of Mrs. Harbison.
She arrived in Xenia Friday night and spent the night with her
step-son, Mr. John Cooper and family. Sat. morning she was
taken to Cedarville arriving at the Harbison home a few  hours
after Mrs. Harbison had passed away. Mrs. Cooper arrived in
comparatively good health and during Sat. afternoon and
evening assisted her daughter about the house and helped in
making the arrangements of the funeral of Mrs. Harbison. A
short time after retiring Mrs. Cooper suffered an attack of
heart trouble, to which she had been subject for several
years, and within an hour her spirit had taken its flight from
it's earthly tenement. Mrs. Cooper was the step-mother of both
Mrs. Harbison and Mr. John Cooper of Xenia and as she reared
them from childhood, they both regarded her as a mother. To
them and her other relatives her sudden death comes as a great
shock. The deceased was of 65 years of age and was born and
reared in Xenia.  Her maiden name was Sarah Poland and she is
a sister of Mr. Samuel Poland of this city. Mr. George  Poland
of Urbana, and Mrs. St. John  of Cleveland are also brother
and sister of the deceased. After her marriage to Ebenezer
Cooper, she moved to Ill., and resided in that state ever
since.  In recent years she made her home  with her daughter,
Mrs. J. H. McConnell, of Indianapolis, who arrived in Xenia
Monday morning in response to the sad news of her mother's
sudden death. She also leaves two sons to mourn their loss
Harry and Albert Cooper, bothof whom reside in Ill. A double
funeral will take place at the Harbison home Tues. afternoon
at 2 o'clock and both Mrs. Harbison and Mrs. Cooper will at
the same time be consigned to their last resting places in
Massie Creek cemetery.  Rev. Mills Taylor of Cedarville R. P.
Church will conduct the services.
