"There are others who are not remembered, as if they had never lived,

who died and were forgotten..."—Ecclesiastes 1:11

This is the beginnings of a database of obituaries and death notices in my files (and other sources).  There are problems to work out before I can create the list with less manual editing.

Obituaries 1973-1980 and 1987-2011 are or will be indexed and posted by year.

Roughly, the sources are:

• McEWEN = Mildred McEWEN JONES manuscripts at the Huron Public Library.
• Newspaper is just that, newspapers.

C. N. W. Station; Depot Hotel, Fire, 1913

[Source:DAILY HURONITE, Fri 13 Feb 1914, p2c3]

It was a year ago today that the old C. N. W. Station and the Depot hotel burned.  The intervening time has been well accounted for and Huron now has some of the finest railway buildings to be found anywhere.

Jacob C. HATFIELD, Old Illinois Street School, First National Bank

[from the obituary of Jacob Cramer HATFIELD, EVENING HURONITE, Monday, 24 February 1936, p1c3]

He came here in 1882 and homesteaded 9 miles north and 1 mile east of Huron on what became known as the Hatfield Ranch.

Early Huron Contractor

For the first few years, he followed his trade, carpentry, and worked in Huron.  His firm, PARKER and HATFIELD, erected the first brick schoolhouse in Huron, the old Illinois Street School, and also the first brick bank building, the old First National which was operated by the CAMPBELLs and which stood on the present site of the Lampe Market.
