| Text | The relatives and friends of Mrs. Elizabeth J. Hadley were shocked to hear of her sudden death on Monday morning, Nov. 15, at their home just west of Exeter. Mrs. Hadley had been in good health for a person of her advanced age, not having been under a physician's care for three years until two weeks ago, when she contracted a severe cold and narrowly escaped pneumonia. Having recovered from this attack she seemed to be in her usual health. About 4 o'clock Monday morning she was taken suddenly ill and lived less than one hour. The cause is supposed to have been heart failure.
Elizabeth Jane Hadley was born in Tennessee February 11, 1837. When but a child she came with her parents to Barry County which has since been her home. She was twice married. Her second husband was Evrard Hadley, a well known citizen of this county, who died in 1894. To them were born six children all of whom are living and were at the funeral. The children are: Mrs. Price Stapleton, Thomas Hadley and Miss Lottie of Exeter, C.H. Hadley of this city, Leonard of Ardmore Okla., and Charles of Denison, Tex. Mrs. Hadley had been a member of the Baptist church since childhood. She was a charter member of the Antioch Baptist church west of Cassville and at her death was a member of the Exeter Baptist church. She was a lady of noble christian character, a kind and affectionate mother and a neighbor and friend beloved by all who knew her. The funeral ceremonies were conducted by Rev. C.M. Smith at Exeter Tuesday afternoon where the remains were deposited in their last resting place. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved children.
