Elizabeth TERRELL (HAWORTH), daughter of Christopher
and Elizabeth
TERRELL was born near New Lexington Ohio, September 14 1821. At the
ripe age of 80 years, after many days of expectant waiting, her spirit
broke the earthly ties and entered into the boundless possibilities of
the future life. She was married to Morris HAWORTH December 6 1843 and
resided for a time near Martinsville Ohio, where the first son was
born. They came to Indiana in 1852 and settled near New London in
October of that year.
Having a strong executive and business capacity, she shared in
the labors and pleasures of making a successful and comfortable home in
the new country where she spent the remainder of her married life. She
prized her lifelong membership in the Friends church which she
faithfully served in different responsible positions.
She was the mother of three sons, all of whome lived to establish
homes of their own. Arthur L (HAWORTH) who died September 17, 1904;
Lisbon J. (HAWORTH) who died March 4 1900, and Frank M. [HAWORTH] at
whose home she spent the last years of her life.
She was most unexpectedly bereft of her life companion June 19,
1903, eight years ago. Besides one son, she leaves seven grandchildren
and two great-grandchildren to whom her memory will be blessed. She was
the last survivor of a family of nine children and in her bereavement
of husband and two sons she was lonely and often expressed her
readiness to go to her rest. Of her it may be fitly said : She was a
good mother, a careful efficient home-maker , and an appreciative
sympathizing friend. "She hath done what she could".

SAD DEATH of FERN HAWORTH
Word came here last week of the serious illness of Fern HAWORTH,
at the home of his parents, Lisbon J. and Mrs. HAWORTH in Chicago. His
suffering was from pneumonia of the most dangerous type. Thursday
evening late a telegram was received here announcing the fact that Fern
was fatally ill and about nine-thirty o'clock Friday morning another
message arrived bearing the sad intelligence of his death, and that the
friends would arrive with the body on the four-thirty train. The news
was soon upon the lips of most of our citizens and universal sorrow was
expressed on every hand for he was well and favorably known in the
circles of his acquaintance.
The body arrived on the evening train and was borne to the home
of Mrs. W. J. [M.J.] GIFFORD, grandmother of the deceased, where it
remained until preparations were made for the funeral services and
interment which occurred on Saturday at two o'clock.
Fernando M. T. Haworth was born to Lisbon J. and Mrs. Haworth in
Russiaville, Indiana, June 27, 1883, and died at his late home in
Chicago January 30, 1908, aged twenty-four years, seven months and
three days.
At the age of ten he moved with [believe a line is missing] where
he was educated in the high schools and learned the dry goods business
in the store of his father. Three years ago the family moved to
Michigan and then to Chicago, where the deceased was engaged as a
salesman in the large establishment of Marshall Field and Co.
An ideal young man has been taken from an ideal home and that
home is dark with a sorrow and grief. One of the most lovable traits of
the noble character of Fern Haworth was his devotion to his parents and
to his home. He was an only son and was almost idolized by fond parents
and a loving sister. Just one year ago he came to this village to visit
his grandmother and other relatives, and was in excellent health and
fine spirits and greatly enjoyed his parents and sister, Mrs. Roy
GIBBS, who survive him, as well as by a host of relatives and friends.
Funeral services were conducted at the home of Mrs. Gifford on
East Main street by Rev. F. C. Dunn, pastor of the local M. E. church
at two p.m. and the body was consigned to the tomb in the beautiful
hillside cemetery.

difference in address, after researching this more I do know that
William and Joseph were the same person. Rev. Joseph Elmer Heavilin was

Joseph HAVELIN (mis-spelled)Dies In Hospital
Joseph HAVELIN, age fifty-four living at 613 East Jakson Street,
died at the Good Samaritan hospital yesterday at noon from a hemorrhage
of the brain resulting from a fall while he was at work at the Kemp
Canning Factory Tuesday afternoon.
Mr. Havelin was subject to dizzy spells and it is thought that he
was so afflited while oiling a piece of machinery at the factory and
that he fell to the floor. The fall resulted in a fractured skull which
produced the hemorrage that caused his death.
The deceased had lived in Kokomo but a short time. He is survived
by his wife and one son, thirteen years old. No funeral arrangements
have been made as yet.
