Belding Banner-News, 12 Aug 1925

We clip the following from last week’s issue of the Riverside, Illinois, Times,
concerning the death and funeral of H. H. (Bert) Belding, a former resident of
this city.

“Tuesday night of this week, H. H. Belding sr. was taken suddenly ill at his
home, 157 Bertram road, and within a short time passed away.  Mr. and Mrs.
Belding had been making calls on old friends and about 10 o’clock left for home.

“As they were making preparations to retire, Mr. Belding remarked on the fact
that he was feeling remarkably well, better than he had since his illness of a
few weeks ago.  In less than half an hour he suddenly exclaimed that he feared
he was going to have a return of his old trouble, and became so ill that Mrs.
Belding, who was alone in the house called her son, Hiram jr.

“A physician was called but it was too late, and Mr. Belding passed away
quietly.  Funeral services were read at 2 o’clock at St. Paul Episcopal church
by the Rev. R.O. Cooper with burial at Bronswood cemetery, Hinsdale.

“Mr. Belding is survived by his widow, Bertha White Belding; four children,
Hiram H. Belding jr., Mary Belding Scribner, Eleanor Belding and Edward Belding;
also his mother, Mrs. L.S. Belding, of New York; and his brother, William
Belding, of Pennsylvania.

“Mr. Belding was one of the founders of Belding brothers.  He was born in
Chicago, November 15, 1871, lived there for some time and with his family came
to Riverside in 1909.”

Although Mr. Belding had not taken a prominent part in the public affairs in the
community in which he lived, the people of his town honored his memory by
lowering their flags to half mast for three days.

Those from this city who attended the funeral were: Mr. and Mrs. R. Howard Hall
and Mrs. W.P. Hetherington.  Greenville friends who were at the funeral were:
Mr. and Mrs. Ellis Ranney, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Ranney and Mrs. G.W. Ellis.
