{from Hiwasse} Our community was thrown into a state of sorrow and sadness by the passing away of one of our oldest and most respected citizens, H.H. Hathaway, which occurred on Sunday, June 29th, 1930. He had been in poor health for some time and had endured his sickness with much patience. He was born in Dade County, Mo., was 85 years of age and so far as we can learn was the oldest citizen in this community. He was a man of noble virtues, upright, honest and law-abiding, and a true and sincere Christian in every sense of the word. In his passing away his wife has lost a devoted husband and his children a kind and loving father and the community a loyal and worthy citizen. He is survived by his widow and five children. Funeral services were held for him Monday afternoon at Mount Pleasant cemetery and were conducted by Rev. R.S. Hayden of Bentonville.
