Description	:	Stratford Courier September 24, 1914 Obituary HARMON Hannah Poulson was born January 28, 1855, in Wapello county, Iowa. She was the daughter of John and Mary Poulson and at the age of ten years moved with her parents to the Poulson farm in Webster county, a mile west of Stratford.

She was the daughter of John and Mary Poulson and at the age of ten years moved with her parents to the Poulson farm in Webster county, a mile west of Stratford. Here she grew to womanhood, and June 3, 1874, she was united in marriage to Andrew P. Harmon at Boone. They have lived in this vicinity ever since, and in Stratford the last eleven years. She was converted under the pastorate of Rev. C.E. Van Horn, during a revival conducted by Evangelist D.D. Benedict, now living in Tacoma, Washington. On September 22, 1895, she, with her husband, was received into full membership in the Methodist Episcopal church and remained a loyal and faithful worker until her death. Mrs. Harmon was the mother of four sons and two daughters. Two sons and one daughter died in infancy. There remain to mourn for a departed mother, Mrs. Nellie Hamilton of Webster City, and George and Russell of this place. Besides her husband she leaves her father, John Poulson, at the ripe and blessed age of 86 years. There also survive four brothers, Wm. Poulson of Dayton, John, Alfred and Albert of Stratford, and three sisters, Mrs. Christine Linan of St. Paul, Minnesota, and Mrs. Emma Swanson and Miss Julia Poulson of Stratford. A rather remarkable coincidence is called to our attention in the case of Mrs. Harmon and Mrs. Maggie Landgren. Mrs. Harmon was three weeks the older. Both were born in Wapello county and both moved here at about the same age, lived in the same neighborhood, and each in their usual health until this summer. Both were sick about the same length of time, both died away from home in hospitals; one the 2nd of August at Boone, the other the 14th of September at Webster City - just three weeks apart - and both were laid away in the Oakwood cemetery. Mrs. Harmon was taken ill at the old settler's picnic at Bell's Mill the 20th of August, and though few or none expected this speedy end, she grew steadily worse, though she herself did not think it was so serious. She felt no pain and expected that a surgical operation would certainly relieve the distress in her throat, but it was grim death that had seized her and man could not release his hold. The funeral services were held at the residence last Wednesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. H. Albertson, and a large crowd of friends were present to pay their respects to their departed friend. Card of Thanks. We herewith extend our heartfelt thanks to the many friends and neighbors who so kindly assisted us during the illness and the death of our beloved wife and mother. May God bless you. A. P. Harmon and Children. Dayton Review September 23, 1914 MRS. HARMON DIES Wm. Poulson and family went over to Stratford Wednesday of last week to attend the funeral of Mr. Poulson's oldest sister, Mrs. A.P. Harmon. She was one of the pioneer settlers of that vicinity, and has many life long friends at this place, where she had been a frequent visitor many years. We quote from the Stratford Courier the following account of her death (published in the Stratford Courier on September 17, 1914): MRS. A.P. HARMON CALLED HOME Like a thunderbolt from a clear sky came the announcement early Monday morning that Mrs. A.P. Harmon of this place had passed away at the hospital at Webster City. Although she had been ailing, none thought that her illness would prove fatal, and last Friday she was taken to Webster City to the home of her daughter, Mrs. F.D. Hamilton preparatory to undergoing an operation on the Sunday following. She continued to grow worse and after being removed to the hospital her condition was such that an operation could not be performed and she passed away about three o'clock Monday morning. Her sudden passing away is keenly felt by an unusually large circle of friends here. She was a kind and devoted Christian, wife and mother, a kind friend and neighbor, and was loved by all who knew her. The funeral services were held yesterday afternoon and the remains interred in Oakwood cemetery. She leaves to mourn her departure, a sorrowing husband, two sons, one daughter, an aged father, three sisters, four brothers and other relatives and a host of friends. Buried Sept. 15, 1914 at Oakwood Cemetery (Foster Funeral Home Records)
