She died at her home in Norwalk, Iowa, Feb. 7, 1937, aged 55 years, seven months and two days. She was the daughter of Henry and Lucy Ogle-Burmister. Most of her life was lived in Warren county. She graduated from the Indianola high school with the class of 1900. She took some months’ work in Simpson college, and taught in the rural schools of Warren county for four years. She was united in marriage to George T. Hagen, March 3, 1904, at the home of her parents in Indianola. She went with her husband to make their first home on a farm near New Virginia. In the spring of 1919, they came to the Norwalk community, where they have since remained residents. Into their home were born ten children, seven girls and three boys. The three boys and three of the girls are married and in homes of their own. Four girls are still at home, the youngest, Ilo, being a junior in high school. Left to mourn their sad bereavement are: The husband; three sons, Pearl H. of Des Moines, Leo of Prole and Howard of Norwalk; seven daughters, Maye, Ruth, Helen and Ilo, of Norwalk, Mrs. Russell Lucas of Norwalk, Mrs. John R. Brown of St Marys, and Mrs. Leonard Onstot of Norwalk; two sisters, Mrs. Elmer Morris and Mrs. Hugh O. Woods, both of Indianola; seven grandchildren, Wayne and Marilyn, children of Mrs. and Mrs. Russell Lucas; Eugene, Phyllis and Norma, children of Mr. and Mrs. Leo Hagen; Lloyd, son of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Hagen, and John, son of Mr. and Mrs. John R. Brown. Her mother, Mrs. Lucy Ogle-Burmister, who lived to be 91 years old, passed away less than four months ago, on Oct. 26, 1936, at Indianola. Mrs. Hagen united with the First Presbyterian church, in Indianola, in childhood. In this church her membership remained until they came to Norwalk. Her membership was transferred to the Methodist Episcopal church of Norwalk in 1925. In her relationships with the church she has given unstintedly of time, service, and support. She was never happier than when doing something for her God, or her fellowmen. She had served in many capacities during the years. At the time of her death she was assistant superintendent and teacher in the junior department of the Sunday school. She was corresponding secretary of the Women’s Foreign Missionary society, a loyal worker in the Ladies’ Aid society, and one of the most faithful in church attendance. The church has lost immeasurably by her passing. God grant that her mantle shall fall on others. Everyone will miss Mrs. Hagen. She was always active in the community. She was a member of the Woman’s club. She has no enemies and her friends numbered by those who knew her. Her death was a terrible shock to the home and the community. She was a mother in the largest sense of that wonderful word. What a monument to her is this fine family of sons and daughters. Only eternity can reveal the full value of her Christian life and example. May not one of these, whom she loved better than life, ever do anything that shall stain her memory. Her God, whom she served so well, will give comfort, grace, and strength. The following verses, written by her daughter, Helen, and dedicated to her mother expressed, as far as words are able, the sentiments of us all: Something happened at our house today Death came and took our Mother away, But God is with us it seems, For her kindness and goodness still gleams; We thought it quite early in life; But God has her now, and she’s free from all strife. Death is strange to all of us….something new: And we didn’t know just what to do. But we went to Our Father in silent prayer, And He gave us a new glimmer of life—a glare Of happiness; for she is now safer than before; And we’ll see here again, when God opens the door. Card of thanks: The family thanks all for their help and sympathy, also for the floral offerings, at the time of their bereavement.
