The Aiken Recorder 30 March 1886
Death of an Estimable Lady.

Died, on Friday, the 26th day of March, 1886, in the 49th year of her age, Mrs. 
Helena, Dorothea Hahn, wife of Mr. Henry Hahn, of Aiken, S.C.

This estimable lady was born in the province of Hanover, Germany, and came to 
this country in company with her brother at the early of 16, taking up her 
residence in Charleston, where she remained up to the time of her marriage 
nineteen years ago. She was a member of the Lutheran Church, but in the absence 
of a house of worship for that denomination in Aiken, she had for many years 
been a constant attendant of the Presbyterian Church. Those who knew her best 
could not fail to be impressed by her consistent walk in life as evinced by her 
gentle deportment and her many acts of unostentatious Christian charity.

Her pastor, The Rev. T.P. Hay, bore high testimoney to her many Christian 
virtues in the beautiful sermon which he preaced at her funeral on Saturday 
afternoon, which was attended by a large concourse of sympathizing friends, 
including many from Augusta and Charleston.

The funeral services were performed at the Aiken Baptist Church by the Rev. T.P. 
Hay, assisted by the Rev. Lucius Cuthbert, and her body was laid to rest in the 
cemetery of the church, where three of her children are buried. A devoted wife, 
fond mother and gentle Christian woman has been laid to rest, peace to her 
ashes.

May that merciful God whom she so delighted to serve and whom she was so ready 
to meet, pour the balm of his sweet consolation into the wounded spirit of the 
stricken husband and the two motherless boys who survive to mourn her loss, is 
the heartfelt wish of the writer of these lines.
