Lake Odessa Wave-Thurs. Sept. 17, 1931

MRS. HARRIET TASKER FOLLOWS HUSBAND
Death Came After One Year of Poor Health. Funeral at Home Thursday.

Mrs. John Tasker, a quiet, home loving wife and mother, passed quietly away last
week Wednesday at the age of 75 years. Mrs. Tasker's health has been poor for about a
year, she and her husband being ill at the same time for several months. Mr. Tasker passed
away in July. These people were residents of Odessa Township for many years, but for the
past years, lived in town where they have been relieved of the heavy work of their farm.

The funeral was held in the spacious home, Rev. O. F. Bulman  preaching the sermon.
Burial was at Lakeside cemetery.

OBITUARY
Harriet Jan Walter, daughter of Christian and Malinda Walter, was born in Hancock
county, Ohio, May 25, 1856, and passed away from this life September 9, 1931.

When a young girl she moved with her parents into Campbell township and there
resided until April 13, 1884 ,when she became the wife of John Tasker. Their married life
was spent on their farm north of Lake Odessa until eight years ago when they moved to their
very pleasant home on South Fourth avenue leaving their youngest son to conduct the
affairs of the farm.

Mrs. Tasker was a devoted wife and mother, giving her life and interests to the
rearing of a fine family. Since moving to lake Odessa Mrs. Tasker has endeared herself to 
all her neighbors and acquired many new friends who will miss her greatly.

Mrs. Tasker enjoyed good health until about one year ago when an operation was 
necessary, since which time her health has gradually failed. The best medical
attention that could be secured was given her and her children did all that a devoted family 
could do for a kind and loving mother.

Her husband preceded her into the great beyond by about two months.

Those who are left to mourn her passing are, one daughter Mrs. Blanche Durkee; three
sons, Alva, Roy and Clarence with their wives, and seven grandchildren; three
sisters, and one brother, several cousins, nieces and nephews, and a large circle of friends

Card of Thanks
Again we wish to thank the many friends and neighbors for their help and kindness in
our great bereavement at the loss of our dear Mother, especially following so closely
after our father's death. Mr. and Mrs. Alva Tasker, and Harold, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Tasker and
family, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Durkee, and June, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Tasker, and family.
