Notes - The last sad rites over the remains of W.H. Hoffman who passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Elsie Hougan at Grand Island Tuesday, April 24th, were held at Harmony cemetery Thursday afternoon at one o’clock, when a local pastor of a church at Grand Island conducted a short service at the grave. In the passing of Mr. Hoffman another name is stricken from the ever lessening roll of our old settlers, having resided here since 1874, being until recent years engaged in the mercantile business, first at the town of Wells before Bladen became a town and later in Bladen. He has finished a long and active life and up to within a few days of his passing, attended to all his business affairs with the same keen interest he always manifested in years past. The funeral services were held in Grand Island Tuesday morning after which the remains were driven to Bladen by auto hearse, accompanied by the immediate relatives, the pastor and undertaker. Friends and neighbors joined the procession here on to Harmony cemetery where interment was made. The tender sympathy of old time neighbors and friends is extended to the bereaved relatives.
