MRS ELIZABETH HADLEY DIES ?(corner missing)

The relatives and friends of Mrs. Elizabeth J. Hadley  were  shocked  to
hear of her sudden death on Monday morning, Nov. 15, at their home  just
west of Exeter. Mrs. Hadley had been in good health for a person of  her
advanced age, not having been under a physician's care for  three  years
until two weeks ago, when she contracted  a  severe  cold  and  narrowly
escaped pneumonia. Having recovered from this attack she seemed to be in
her usual health. About 4 o'clock Monday morning she was taken  suddenly
ill and lived less than one hour. The cause is  supposed  to  have  been
heart failure.

Elizabeth Jane Hadley was born in Tennessee February 11, 1837. When  but
a child she came with her parents to Barry County which has  since  beer
her home. She was twice married. Her second husband was Evrard Hadley, a
well known citizen of this county, who died in 1894. To them  were  born
six children all of whom  are  living  and  were  at  the  funeral.  The
children are: Mrs. Price Stapleton, Thomas Hadley  and  Miss  Lottie  of
Exeter, C.H. Hadley of this city, Leonard of Ardmore Okla., and  Charles
of Denison, Tex.

Mrs. Hadley had been a member of the Baptist church since childhood. She
was a charter member of the Antioch Baptist church west of Cassville and
at her death was a member of the Exeter Baptist church. She was  a  lady
of noble christian character, a  kind  and  affectionate  mother  and  a
neighbor and friend beloved by all who knew her.

the funeral ceremonies were conducted  by  Rev.  C.M.  Smith  at  Exeter
Tuesday afternoon where the remains were deposited in their last resting
place.

We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved children.
