Died Suddenly.
Mrs. Harriet Hamilton, an aged colored woman, well known as “Aunt Harriet,” and resident at Brownsville, died suddenly, at her home, on Sunday evening, at 11 o’clock. The story of her life has been oftentimes written and printed. Her struggles from slavery, her self purchased freedom, and her subsequent purchase of Alfred for $800, a sum which she saved while stewardess on the packets, and her other good works and words are known of all who known the good woman now gone to her reward. Aunt Harriet steamboated for over 30 years, her last service being with Capt. Robert Phillips of this city, on the Elector. She had seven children, six boys and one daughter. Four sons survive her, Thomas, who lives in Denver, Sanford in Burlington, Iowa, Allan in St. Louis, and Alfred in Brownsville. Joseph A. Jones married Alfred’s daughter, Olivia, and Charley Hamilton, her grandson, works in the barber ship of Brooks & Jones, both of this city. The deceased schooled to frugality in her early life, while working to “buy freedom” kept up the habit, and by thrift and care; has managed to accumulate considerable property in Brownsville. She owned an eight room brick house in the town, beside an acre lot, and three other houses in Brownsville. She was a pious, good woman, never forgetting her duties—and when they gather about her coffin, the most fitting hymn will be one so true in her case—“whiter than snow.”

Morning Herald June 1, 1911
Mrs. Jas. [Clarissa] Hanan, Stricken with heart failure Prominent resident of
Yauger Hollow seized with attack of neuralgia of the heart and dies almost instantly.
Funeral this afternoon. Survived by husband and seven children all of whom are
well known.
Rev. F. C. Viele will conduct the funeral services.
Attacked with neuralgia of the heart Tuesday morning at 5 o'clock at her home
in Yauger Hollow. Mrs. James Hanan, aged 74, died before medical aid could be
summoned. She arose just a few minutes before 5 o'clock and when she returned
to bed her husband noticed that she was breathing heavily. He became alarmed
when she failed to respond to his question of how she was feeling. An investigation
proved that she was unconscious. Dr. Means of Percy was called but life was
extinct when he arrived. Neuralgia of the heart was given as the cause of her
death.
Mrs. Hanan had been troubled with neuralgic pains in her left side and abdomen
for some time and it was the opinion of the attending physician that the affliction
caused her sudden death. Mrs. Hanan was well known in the vicinity in which
she resided. She had made her home in that section of the county for some time

DIED
HANSEL-On the 2nd of July, Francis Marion Hansel, of company E, 140th Reg. Pa.
Vol., Zook's Brigade, in the 21st year of his age.
Francis Marion Hansel, with many others saw with a sad heart the deplorable condition
of our country. He saw our much loved and ever glorious flag had been insulted
and trailed in the dust by rebel hosts, and immediately volunteered in the ranks
of the Union army, bidding farewell to loving kindred, kind friends and the dear
scenes of his childhood, to offer his life, if necessary, as a sacrifice upon
the altar of our country, and most nobly did he fa__ his patriotic resolve. On
the bloody field of Gettysburg, where the wrathful war cloud hung heavily and
darkly over the field of blood and carnage, where the shouts of the victorious
and the cries and moans of the wounded and dying were piercing the ears of the
living; where the glare of the saber and the crack of the rifle rang out hideously
upon the air; where the roar of the brazen mouthed messenger of death-the murderous
cannon-the fiend-like shell, and death dealing grape were pouring forth the seeds
of death and destruction into oar veteran ranks, young Hansel fell at his post,
battling valiantly in the cause of his country, and died as the patriot di_s,
in the cause of God and humanity.
