Mrs. J. B. Hartley Dies in New York State

Funeral Held This Afternon

The many friends of Mrs. J. B. Hartley were surprised when word was
received late Monday evening of her death. For the past two or three years
she had been gradually growing weaker, but no one outside of her own family
realized that the end might be so near. It was only a few weeks ago that
she left in company with her daughter, Mrs. Emery, for Perry, New York, to
remain for a time with another daughter, Mrs. Coleman.

Elizabeth Evelyn Hubbs was born at Oppingheim, Fulton County, New York, May
11, 1837. The family later moved to Jefferson County. In 1845, they moved
to Wisconsin and settled in Rock County.

She was united in marriage to Joseph B. Hartley, October 28, 1856, at
Janesville. For a number of years their home was on the farm, until 1884,
when the family moved to Evansville. The husband died April 8, 1901.

Mrs. Harlety had been a faithful member of the Congregational church during
her residence in this city. For many years she has taken an active interest
in the work of the woman's missionary society.

While she had been shut in her home most of the time during the past few
years she kept her interest in all that was transpiring in the world around
her. She carried on a very extensive correspondence with friends in all
parts of the country, thus continuing to brighten and influence the lives
of many.

Mrs. Hartley was one of eight children, but one of whom, Chas. L. Hubbs, of
San Diego, Cal., survives her. Two of her children had preceeded her into
the great beyond, the oldest son, who died at the age of 25, and a
daughter, who died in infancy. She leaves to mourn her loss, three
daughters, Mrs. Mary Hellen Webster, of Talent, Oregon., Mrs. Coral E.
Coleman of Perry, N. Y., and Mrs. Grace B. Emery of Piedmont, Cal., and one
son, Robert D., of this city.

Her death occurred at 7:30 Monday evening in Perry, Wyoming County, New
York. She was brought to Evansville by Mrs. Coleman, and Mrs. Emery
reaching here yesterday noon.

The funeral services will be held at the home of her son, R. D. Hartley,
this afternoon at half past two and will be conducted by Rev. D. Quincy
Grabill of the Congregational church. The interment will be in the family
lot in Maple Hill Cemetery.
