Her suffering has been intense for the past two years, yet she bore her afflictions with that patient, uncomplaining Christian-like fortitude which has so long characterized her life.

Clinton Missouri, Jul 12 1902 - After eight years of wedded life, an infant son was born to Mr. and Mrs. H.C. Hagman on March 26, 1902. The little stranger received a royal welcome. Possessed of a perfect love for each other, surrounded by their kindred and living in one of the prettiest little homes in the city, when this little one was their's, life seemed too good to be real and never was a baby more worshipped. A room was filled with baby furniture and juvenile treasures were presented by admiring relatives in anticipation of his growing interest and need, and Monday morning, grandma and auntie were bidden goodbye, leaving behind the sweetest baby and proudest parents in all Clinton. But in the evening, about 5 p.m., mother love was quick to note that something was wrong with her darling and Drs. Barr and Haire were summoned and immediately pronounced it an incurable brain trouble and at 4:30 a.m. Tuesday, the death angel had taken the spirit of the little one to brighten the home in the skies. His name was Alexander D. Hagman. The funeral was held from the residence Wednesday morning. Tender hands laid the baby away with the blossoms in beautiful Englewood.

HAGMANN, Mathias Sr.

bur: Englewood Cemetery HA-HE, Clinton, Henry Co, MO
Clinton Missouri, Jun 11 1904 - Mathias Hagmann Sr., was born March 17, 1833 in Sevila County of St. Gailen, Switzerland. Married his first wife Anna Seifried in 1851. They had seven children. Three, and their mother, died in the old country. In 1865 Mr. Hagmann and his children emigrated to this country and settled at Highland, Ill., where he married Miss Anna Dutler. They had three boys and seven girls. In 1868 they moved to Henry County and located 1 1/2 miles south of Deepwater. The path of his pioneer life was, of course, not always strewn with roses, for there were many hard battles to be fought. But the love of home and fireside always shone out as the goal and the beautiful farm shoes the results of long toil and patient energy. About 20 years ago, he affiliated himself as a charter member of the United Workmen and remained a loyal member until his death. He had been a director in the Bank of Deepwater since its organization in 1889, which position he has filled with credit to himself and the institution. He had been ill two years and confined to his room since last March, enduring intense suffering. He realized that human help was in vain and anchored his faith in the living God. His soul took its flight to the God who gave it the morning of the 4th day of June 1904, being 71 years, 2 months, 2 days old. Probably there has been no one in this vicinity that has ever been more loyal to or ready to succor a friend and the large attendance at the funeral evidenced the high esteem in which he was held. He leaves a wife and the following children: Mathias Hagmann Jr., Mrs. Lizzie Leach, Mrs. Rosa Osburn, Mrs. Emma Hartsock, John Hagmann, Ursula Berthoux, Sedalia; Gallus Hagmann, probably dead; Mrs. Anna Meyer, Crabtree, Oregon; Mrs. Minnie Roth, Oconee, Ill.; William Hagmann, Weir City, Kansas; H. C. Hagmann, Clinton. Remains interred in the Old German Valley Cemetery, there to await the resurrection morn.

HAIRE, Robert D. Dr.
b: Sep 22 1855, Dade Co, MO
d: Apr 13 1930, Clinton, Henry Co, MO
bur: Englewood Cemetery HA-HE, Clinton, Henry Co, MO
Clinton MO - Dr. R. D. Haire, one of the best physicians and surgeons Clinton ever had, went into eternity at 9 p.m. Sunday, April 13th, just 52 years from the day he started practicing medicine. Soon after his return from a visit with his sister in California, he became ill and was bedfast five weeks. He got better and was able to return to his office, but was very frail and the constant call of the sick and afflicted was ever on his mind. He worked early and late, going without food and sleep to relive the suffering, never thinking of self. He gradually grew weaker and December 3, 1929 was the last day he went to the office. However he had Miss Mary Pollock, his office nurse, keep the office open, and many came for medicine, who had been friends and patients for years. Many went to his home having confidence in their beloved physician and friend, until about four weeks ago when he became much worse and all of his children were called to his bedside. Frances had to return to her duties in Orange, N.J. and Dr. Robert Haire to his work in New Mexico. However they were here as long as he could enjoy them. He just gradually slept a little more each day until he went into sleep eternal. He was devoted to his work, but this did not hinder him giving greatest care and devotion to his wife and children. Their welfare and education were his greatest concern. The ambition of his life was that his son should take up practice with him, and he would have opportunity to direct the earlier part of his practice. When Robert was home during this last illness his father told him that when he completed his work in the Marine hospital he wanted him to enter general practice first so he would learn the heart touch as well as diagnosis. Then he wanted him to specialize as this was a day of specialists. He then wanted him to spend a year in study abroad. Dr. Haire was married to Miss Maud Maus of Schell City, November 17, 1892. Four children have blessed this union, all of whom survive to comfort their mother. They are, Robert, who is surgeon in the Marine Tuberculosis Hospital at Fort Stanton, New Mexico; Mrs. Ronald Mustarde of Brooklyn, new York; Miss Frances Haire, East Orange, N.J. and Mrs. Allan K. George of Grandview, Missouri. There are two grandsons, Robert Garnet and Allan Carter George of Grandview, Mo. Below the Eye reprints a part of the sketch published in this paper written the week after April 13, 1928, when Dr. Haire ended 50 years of practice: Dr. Haire arrived at Schell City, Mo., April 13th 1878, and just about an hour later he called on his "first case," who happened to be a negro man suffering with malaria. Dr. Haire said that he was the sickest man he had ever seen, and he gave him every attention and he got well. Dr. Haire was born in Dade County, near Stockton, September 22nd 1855. He worked hard for his education, and graduated from the Missouri Medical College in St. Louis, in 1878, and went at once to Schell City to practice. Four years later he went to Bellvue Hospital in New York City, for a years graduate work. He then returned to Schell City, where, by his keen interest in suffering humanity, and his desire to relive pain, he practiced successfully for twenty year, with the exception of the years he spent in school to further train himself in the latest methods. The year previous to his marriage, he spent in the General Hospital, in Vienna, Austria, to study surgery and learn to operate with the world's great surgeons. He has been unceasing and untiring in pursuing the study of science pertaining to his profession and every two years since he started to practice, he has spent several weeks in some hospital, clinic, university, either in the United States or abroad. He has been abroad eight times visiting all the countries of Europe. In addition to this, he has been in Mexico, Alaska and other places of interest. Travel is his only recreation. He told the Eye reporter a few days ago, "I never loafed in my life. A few weeks ago, I decided to spend two weeks on the East coast, resting. I got along fine the first day, but I could not endure it longer, so did not stay." About 30 years ago, Dr. Haire decided to go to California, but before leaving came to Clinton to see Dr. Britts, and found that Dr. Johnson wished to sell his practice here, so Dr. Haire traded properties with him and Dr. Haire and family came to Clinton. His first office was on the second floor of what is now the Penney building. At that time a grocery store was there, run by the late Dan Duden. He has been in his present office rooms, over the Clinton National Bank, about 13 years. Dr. Haire is more than a physician, he is a friend to each of his patients, mixing sunshine and kindly advice as to their life problems along with his medicine. He never forgets them, whether at home or abroad, and is especially fond of children and older people. There is not a home in this entire countryside where he has doctored that he is not as welcome day or night for a meal, as he is in his own home. There are few physicians such as he. His is a busy life. He has not taken obstetrical cases for the past 15 years, as through surgery he has such a large office practice. People come from many miles to consult him and be doctored by him. In the 35 years that he took obstetrical cases, he was the physician at the birth of 1900 babies. Among them dozens of pairs of twins, but never any triplets. Just missed the only set by being out of town. He deplores the fact that there are so few doctors now in the country. Most of them stay in the large cities or centers of populations, and there still exists a great need for the country doctor, who will give self, going day and night, no matter how bad the weather. He said: "Every young doctor should have at least ten years of general medical practice, for unless he does, he does not know the great need of the world. Nothing will take the place of bedside contacts, and the knowing of humanity in that personal way  that only a physician can learn by general practice. I think that if I had my life to live over again, I would be a specialist. Dr. Haire was studying in Vienna when the discovery of antitoxin was made in Berlin for diphtheria and he saw it used in the great hospitals there, with the almost miraculous effect, so he brought some home with him. A few days after his return he was called to a very sick child, who had diphtheria. He administered the antitoxin and to the amazement of all the child recovered. A few days later, in a medical journal he saw where a noted St. Louis physician, who had brought some from abroad, had used it. Dr. Haire wrote for the date the doctor had used it and it was found that it was a few days after Dr. Haire, so as far as known Dr. Haire was the first to bring antitoxin to the United States. He was just as alert as this in everything and showed the world a country doctor could perform as great ministry to suffering humanity as the city man, although never attain fortune. Miss Mary Pollock, who was Dr. Haire's office nurse for 13 years, knew him at this best. Dr. Haire was public spirited and served Clinton on the school board 20 years. Deceased was prominent in County, State, and the American Medical Association. He was also a member of the Masons, Knight Templars, Mystic Shrine, Elks, Odd Fellows and Woodmen. He was raised in the Cumberland Presbyterian church and ever held to the early Christian teachings of his parents. He was gentle and kind as the Great Physician. The rich and poor were treated alike. He gave his services as freely to those who were unable to pay as to those from whom he received fees. He studied the newest discoveries of his profession always. Frequently in his last sickness he would say, "I am worn out, I can not get well," but quickly following he would eagerly plan forward steps and things he meant to do, keeping courage until life was over. Dr. Haire was more than our physician-he was our friend. We felt so completely helpless as he lay there those weary weeks, remembering when our loved ones were ill, he had ministered to them, at times all night through, taxing his own strength. There are very few homes in Henry County that have not been touched by the life of Dr. Haire, as he was nearly always called in time of crisis in consultation, for even to the last of life he was recognized as authority on diagnosis. He has made a complete study of the human body and its ills, keeping up with every scientific discovery. His death is the greatest loss Henry County has ever suffered in the death of a one person. It is the first break in the Haire family circle. Although the community and his children will miss him, the loss falls heaviest on his beloved wife, who has shared his every joy, sorrow and ambition ever since their marriage. Theirs has been a happy union-their home a once of unusual charm, whose influence will ever be felt by the people of Clinton. The funeral was conducted at the M.E. Church, South, Tuesday afternoon.

Clinton MO - Mrs. Frank Hall, who lived many years at the corner of Sixth and Franklin streets, but had been with her only daughter, Mrs. W. E. Meyers of Collins, Mo., since the middle of September, died in Collins at 1:45 p.m. Sunday. Mrs. Hall's long and respected life, so much of which was lived within two blocks in the east part of Clinton, closed with the same dignity and gentleness that had characterized it throughout. Without pain, which she always dreaded as a part of advanced years, or disability, she went to sleep and slipped quietly to the realms of Eternal Day, with her family scarcely conscious of her passing. Sarah A. Arnold was born in Bryan, Williams County, Ohio, June 17, 1850, whither her parents, George Arnold and Catherine Anthony, both of Alsace-Lorraine, had come with their parents as children. Her mother was an ardent admirer of the great Napoleon, one of whose couriers her grandfather had been, and she always felt that some day France would get back the Alsace-Lorraine territory. Sarah Arnold made her home in Ohio until after she and Frank Hall, a veteran of the Union Army, were united in marriage, March 28, 1867. They then moved to Henry County, where they settled on a farm one mile east of Shawnee Mound, now owned by Frank Gildersleeve and his wife, who is a niece of Mrs. Hall. In 1868 they moved to Clinton and built a home for themselves at 605 East Jefferson street, where Mr. and Mrs. Lynn Schofield reside today. All the lumber for the house was hauled from Warrensburg with teams and wagons because in those days there were no railroads into Clinton. From then on Clinton remained her home and the large house on East Franklin street has long been known as the Hall home. Three children blessed their union, Will F., of Clinton; Charlie, deceased three years ago, and an only daughter, Frankie, now Mrs. W. E. Meyers of Collins, all learning the lessons of thrift and industry that their parents had practiced and that Mrs. Hall had been taught by her parents, who believed thrift and frugality were cardinal virtues. Mrs. Hall had a splendid constitution and her good health was one of her great blessings, for she rarely knew sickness and always led a most active, energetic life. She was reared in the Lutheran faith, from which teachings she never broke away. After there ceased to be a Lutheran denomination in Clinton she joined the First M. E. Church and was a faithful member for more than 40 years, rearing her children in the faith. She lived a true Christian life, quietly living her belief, devoting herself to her family and never finding any sacrifice too great to make for them. Mrs. Hall was under all circumstances, a faithful citizen and few people have her capacity for making friends. She lived all her neighbors, doing for them many kindly services and through long years remained always the same, for she followed the Bible injunction of loving her neighbor as herself. In the section where her daughter lives, this neighborliness was especially seen and felt. The funeral services were conducted at 1:30 p.m. Monday by Rev. A. S. Olsen from the W. F. Hall home on East Green street. The body was put to rest in Englewood beside her husband, who has been there since 1905, borne hence by Frank Gildersleeve, George Crooks, Howard Jones, and D. B. Callen, kinsmen, and Max Fellhauer and Alva Null, highly esteemed neighbors.

Fifty-four years they were affectionate companions, sharing each other's sorrows and troubles. Mrs. Hallford was a good neighbor and often expressed herself by saying she loved everybody. She leaves one sister, Mrs. Lizzie King, near Coal, and a host of relatives who mourn the loss of Aunt Allie. All loved and respected her, and did many little deeds of kindness while she was sick, and in fact, when she was well they did many things for her which she always appreciated, but her sufferings are over now. Rev. Lindsey made a short talk at the home on account of Mr. Hallford not being able to go to the church and then made a talk at Good Hope church to a large congregation of sorrowing relatives and friends, after which her body was laid to rest in Good Hope cemetery near by.
