The Carson City Gazette, Friday, September 15, 1905
Ex-county clerk Hiram Haring died at his home in Newark township.  Heart 
disease complicated with kidney and liver trouble was the cause of his taking 
off.  Death came to Mr. Haring Thursday morning, September 7, 1905, after a 
little over a week’s illness.  Last week it was thought he was dying and the 
members of the family were sent for.

Mr. Haring has a host of friends throughout Gratiot county, who will be 
grieved to learn of his demise.  The deceased was one of those whole souled 
genial men, who always had a hearty handclasp and a pleasant word for everyone 
and he was admired for his rugged honesty and many good qualities that go 
toward making a strong Christian character.

Hiram Haring was born January 7, 1844 in Summit county, Ohio, making him 
nearly 62 years of age.  He was reared on a farm and educated in the public 
schools.  At the age of 19 he began teaching.  When 26 years old he married 
Susan Folz.  In 1870 Mr. Haring came to Michigan, settling in Bloomer 
township, Montcalm County.  In 1875 he moved to the town of Lebanon, Clinton 
county, and a year later to the township of North Shade, where he lived until 
1896, when he was elected county clerk on the Union Silver ticket, and moved 
with his family to Ithaca.  Previous to this he had held the office of town 
clerk and supervisor.  After his retirement from public office he bought the 
farm in Newark, where he died.

Besides a wife, Mr. Haring leaves five children.  They are Elton E. of Moline; 
Mrs. Jennie Ludwick of Clinton county; Mrs. John Davis of Newark; Ophir 
Haring, who lives in Ithaca and Parcy, who lives at home.  

Funeral services were held at Hubbardston, Sunday at 10 a.m. and burial was 
made in the cemetery there.  Mr. Haring was well known to our people as an 
upright and honorable man, an exemplary citizen and a firm friend.  The 
sympathy of the whole community goes out to the bereaved family.
