    Mary Feathers, died suddenly at
    10 a.m. Wednesday at the 
    residence.
    
    A retired school teacher,
    Miss Hartshorn taught 44 years
    in the Delphos school system.
    She retired in 1949. Miss
    Hartshorn also taught 11 years
    as a substitute teacher here.
    
    Miss Hartshorn was

    She began her teaching
    career in 1905 in a one-room
    school in Jennings Township
    near Venedocia. After two years
    there, she began teaching in the
    Delphos School System where
    she was principal of the

    years.
    
    Miss Hartshorn also taught
    in the old Garfield school for
    four years before her retirement.

    in Allen County.
    
    Survivors include three
    nephews and two nieces of
