Death of An Aged Citizen
Died at the residence of his son, near Oakland, MD., January 13th, 1879, Samuel Harned, aged 82 years.
This aged man, though known to but few persons in this vicinity, will be remembered by many in the northern part of this county. He lived most of his lifetime in a village bearing his own name (Harnedsville) in the southern part of Somerset, county, Pa. He was a pushing, energetic farmer, in connection with which he and his sons were for years engaged in the mercantile business. About the time the B. & O. R. R. was being made he bought a tract of land near Deer Park, (the same being now owned by Mr. John Riley.) At a later date he sold his farm and moved to the west. Here his wife, who was an estimable woman, died. Her death he seemed to feel very much. After this he lived with his children, mostly with his son John, where he died. For the past few years he has been quite a sufferer, arising partly from an accident which resulted in the mashing of one of his limbs.
Mr. Harned has been a member of the M.E. Church for many years, and was mainly instrumental in erecting a house of worship on the old homestead, which is still used.
For evenness of temper, gentleness of manner and kindness to others, he will long be remembered by those who knew him. His mind though somewhat impaired during the past two years, was perfectly clear during the last hours of his life. His death was as his life, calm and peaceful.
His remains were interred in the Odd-Fellows cemetery, at Oakland, Tuesday.
