Death Calls Mrs. McHarg, Belfast Pioneer Resident
Following an illness of several months duration, Mrs. Anna Hardy McHarg passed away early Sunday morning, October 23rd, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ray Viers.
Anna Hardy was born in Leeds, Megantic County, Canada, on the 18th of April 1850. In 1873 she came with her mother to Minnesota, and on August 28, 1876 she was united in marriage to John McHarg at Westminister Presbyterian church at Minneapolis.
In the spring of 1878 the McHargs moved to their home in Murray county settling on what is now known as the McHarg homestead in Belfast township. Following the death of Mr. McHarg in 1920, Mrs. McHarg continued to make her home with her daughter on the old homestead and here she passed away quietly.
Mrs. McHarg was the mother of four children, Joseph Archibald, of Fulda; Mrs. Robina Guthier, of Minneapolis; Mrs. Jesse Barnard, of Chandler; and Mrs. Harriet Viers, of Fulda, all of whom are left to mourn the loss of their dearest one. Besides her children, Mrs. McHarg leaves one brother, J.T. Hardy, of Tampa, Florida, 9 grandchildren and one great grandchild as well as a great number of friends.
Mrs. McHarg was a member of the Royal Neighbors of Fulda, but other thatn this she belonged to no organizations altho she was deeply interested in community affairs and enterprises, and did all she could to help whenever opportunity afforded.
She was of Scotch partenage and took a great pride in her ancestry. She was a member of the Presbyterian church of Canada, and held a letter from that church at the time of her death, but had never affiliated with a church in this country. As one of the oldest settlers in the county, she was wildly known, and will be greatly missed by her wide circle of friends.
Funeral services were held from the Presbyterian church on Tuesday afternoon, and interment made in Prairie Hill Cemetery.”
