The Pleasanton Observer, March 12, 1892:
HARE
DIED: - On March the 4th, 1892, at her home on the state line, near Trading Post, Mrs. Susanah Hare of heart disease.
Deceased was born in Ross county Ohio, Jan. 18, 1830. Her maiden name was Moomaw. She was the wife of P. G. Hare, of Valley township. To crown their union ten children were born, eight of whom survive her. Not only in her own home will she be missed but in the community in which she lived. For when sickness and death entered other homes she always was there as an angle [sic] of mercy. We mourn her loss but none need sympathy as the bereaved husband who is left lonely in old age. Sacred services were held at her home on Sunday after which the relatives and friends followed the remains to the Hayes [sic] cemetery where the last sad rites were performed.
“Loved one, thou has gone to rest,
Thy spirit now has fled.
We fold thy hands across thy breast,
And mourn, for thou art dead.
We mourn, for all are lonely now;
There is one vacant chair;
No more thy kind voice will sound
Our weary lives to cheer.
We mourn, but not without a hope;
Our loss thy gain we know,
But O, ‘tis hard to give thee up,
And so lonely here below.
And now, farewell, with sigh and tear,
Till years and ages cease.
Thy memory shall live;
Loved one, rest in peace.
A Friend.
