FUNERAL FOR MRS.
MABLE HANAWALT
TO BE WEDNESDAY
----------
Will Be Conducted
From the Home On
W. Harrison Street.
----------
WAS A BELOVED WOMAN ----------
Mable Day was born in Brookston, Ind., March 8, 1878, and when still a baby her parents moved to Monticello where she has lived practically all her life. She was married Dec. 24, 1905 to Joe Hanawalt and to this union two children were born, John Milton, who died when two years of age, and Mary Elizabeth, who survives. She also leaves her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Day, with whom she made her home, and one brother, Evart G. Day of Indianapolis. A brother, Earl DAy, died last March. There are many other relatives who mourn her departure.
Mable's friends were legion being a friend to everyone. Her loyalty and devotion to those with whom she was associated in business was unending. She had a passionate love for all that was beautiful and artistic in nature.
She was especially fond of flowers being surrounded almost the year round with some token from friends or from her own garden. She was also a great lover of birds and in the spring time from the appearance of the first robin she would quote the language of the little feathered warblers suiting their interpretation to suit her own mood.
During her last illness she was constantly and skillfully attended by her mother and the memory of thos weeks and months is most precious.
She was a woman of great personal charm and her love for her little daughter was ideal.
She was trong in spiritual faith and many times said if her life work was ended she was willing to go. She made all of the arrangements of her funeral even to the minutest detail.
On Saturday she took a relapse from which she did not rally and on Monday noon while surrounded by her family and friends she quietly and peacefully slipped into the great beyond.
| Beautiful in life, beautiful in health, beautiful in sickness and beautiful in character, dear departed unselfish spirit you gave your all. While we waited so still and quiet Beside her at noon that day An angel from heaven came And took our darling away. Suddenly the sun stopped shining And the birds didn't sing so clear For how could we do without her The one we loved so dear. Always bearing her burden Cheering us on our way Always smiling and helpful Doing her duty each day. We will pray that in heaven we meet you For we know you will wiat near the door To smile and welcome your loved ones When their troubles cand cares are o'er. |

OBITUARY
----------
Thelma Lavoinnie Hanawalt was born in White county, Ind., Oct. 19, 1904, died Oct. 4, 1917; she was converted four years ago and was ever faithful to her Savior. When she was stricken the day of her death and was asked if she wanted a doctor, she said she would rather those around pray, seeming to trust rather in the Great Physician. Her suffering was of short duration, for within two hours after being stricken she passed to the home not made with hands. She had expressed a desire that she would not linger long and doubtless her Heavenly Father heard her prayer. She was faithful to the Sunday school and Christian Endeavor, and the church service, always ready to do her duty as organist or in singing, or at prayer. She was in eigth[sic] grade of common school and was making excellent progress. She leaves to mourn her loss her father and mother and brother with many near relatives and a host of friends and schoolmates who will cherish her memory.November 2, 1917

The child attended shcool that forenoon and was in her usual health. As her home is near the school house she went home for dinner and ate a hearty meal. When the bell rang for school to begin she started to go in with the rest of the children but suddenly became dizzy and complained of a severe pain in her head. She was given permission to go home, which she immediately did, and her parents began the hurried application of such home remedies as they thot might give the little sufferer relief.
The doctor was also summoned but before he could reach the Hanawalt home the child was in a dying condition.
Mr. Hanawalt, the father is well known over the county, having served as assessor of Cass township a number of terms, and having been a candidate for county assessor two years ago on the Democratic ticket.
