Obituary
Death Claims a Johnson County Pioneer
     In the death of Mrs. Mary Ann Hart, which occurred at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Walker J. Webb, in this city, on Monday, August 9, 1915, one of the pioneers of this vicinity passes on. Mrs. Webb [sic: Hart] reached the advanced age of ninety years, one month and ten days. The lady had been in failing health for some time, yet was confined to the bed in her final illness for but a few days.
     Mrs. Hart's maiden name was Mary Ann Sackett and she was born in Madison county, Ills., June 29, 1825. The days of her girlhood and young womanhood were spent in Illinois, and, in 1844, she was married to Adam Hart, in Montgomery county, that state. Mr. and Mrs. Hart lived in Illinois and Iowa until 1855, when they came to Nebraska, settling on the stream then known as the Little Nemaha, south of Tecumseh. In 1869 they homesteaded a place southeast of Vesta, where the family home remained until 1893, when Mr. and Mrs. Hart moved to the town of Vesta. Mr. Hart died in 1909, after which his wife made her home with the daughter, Mrs. Webb.
     Of the thirteen children born to Mr. and Mrs. Hart eight survive and are: John Hart of Rifle, Colo; Lincoln Hart of Athol, S. D; Robert Hart of Garnet, Mont; George Hart of Anaconda, Mont; Mrs. E. A. Hobbs of Auburn, Wash; Mrs. Mary McDonald of Kent, Wash; Mrs. Rosetta Bass of Red Rock, Okla., and Mrs. Webb of Tecumseh. Besides these children twenty-four grandchildren, twenty-eight great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren survive. At the age of thirteen years the deceased made a christian profession, and all these years she remained true to the Master, serving Him faithfully. For thirty-five years Mrs. Hart was a member of the Baptist church at Vesta. Her beautiful christian life was an inspiration to others and her memory will ever be sacredly cherished by the members of her family and a wide circle of friends.
     Rev. C. C. Markham, pastor of the Tecumseh church, conducted the funeral services at the Webb home at 10:00 o'clock, Wednesday morning, following which a cortege was formed which proceeded to the Vesta cemetery where the interment was made in the Hart family lot.

Obituary
100-Year-Old Woman Dies 20 Days After Celebrating Birthday
     (Special News Service)
     Siloam Springs, Ark., Sept. 22 — Just 20 days after celebrating her one-hundredth anniversary, Mrs. James D. Denny, residing east of Siloam Springs, died suddenly at her home Sunday morning. Mrs. Denny, despite her age, had been in excellent health, and her death came as a shock. One hundred and thirteen direct descendants, including her five daughters, survive her.
     Mrs. Denny, whose maiden name was Miss Eliza Sackett, was born in Madison County, Ill., Aug. 30, 1826. At the age of 16, she married James G. Denny.
     Her husband was, for a time, a freighter between Illinois and the Pacific Coast in a day when the Indians controlled the intervening territory, and he took part in the Colorado gold rush. Denny died 22 years ago at the age of more than 80 years. Mrs. Denny has been a resident of Siloam Springs for more than 20 years. Ten children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Denny, of whom only the five daughters survive.
     Her four oldest daughters, whose ages range from 76 to 83 years, live in Siloam Springs, three of them living with Mrs. Denny. The fifth daughter, Mrs Percie Chausee, Fargo N.D., 63, was in Siloam Springs at the time of Mrs. Denny's death, having remained for a visit with her sisters and mother after celebration of the centenarian's birthday. The other daughters are Mrs. Susan Bennett, Mrs. Sarah Bennett, Mrs. Amanda Bennett, and Mrs. Emma Page.
     Thirty grandchildren, 40 great-grandchildren, 32 great-great-grandchildren are still living. All five generations were represented at Mrs. Denny's birthday celebration, at which 28 descendants were present. The descendants are scattered over practically every state in the Midwest.
     Funeral services were held Monday afternoon, with Rev. A. L. Cline, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, in charge. Burial was in Oak Hill cemetery.

Emily's obituary
Olive Grove.
     Emily J Sackett, died June 6, 1903. Aged 55 years 5 months and 26 days. She was born in Montgomery county, Ill., and married Jasper N. Sackett, April 6, 1865, at Hillsboro Montgomery county Ill., and in the year 1877 together they moved to Cherokee county, Kansas, and in 1890 they moved on their homestead in Payne county where they lived at the time of her death. In the death of Mrs Sackett, the community has lost an estimable kind and sympathetic woman. Her every day life was that of a true good woman, and many there are who will ever hold her memory in grateful rememberance. The deceased suffered an attack of paralysis. The remains were laid to rest in the Ingalls Cemetery, and were followed on their last journey by many friends. The sympathy of the entire community is given the family in their sorrow.
"Tis hard to part with loved ones,
But tis the fate of all
The fairest flowers must wither,
And the prowdest oak must fall
A mother kind and true has gone,
And sadly missed she'll be
By her husband children friends
Who loved her tenderly.
A patient sufferer she has been,
Cheerfully bearing her pain
For months a helpless invalid
Hoping to be well again.
To us who mourn her death
'Tis comfort in our sorrow
To hope that in a better world
We'll meet her on the morrow.
A Friend.
