Hiram Bartlett
Hiram C. Bartlett died early Sunday morning after a lingering illness of several weeks.
The deceased was one of the pioneer business men of Galesville and probably no man in the community was more generally known than he. He was born in the State of Maine 55 years ago. He came to Galesville at an early date, where he was married to Betsy Moody, who survives him. Three children were born to them, two of whom are living - Bertie, now Mrs. Lockwood, living at Winona, and Edith, a little girl of ten.
In all his years of residence here, H.C. Bartlett was a familiar character. By trade he was a blacksmith and years ago he owned considerable property. He was a friend to everyone; there was no limit to his generosity. He made no distinction of mankind. A man to him was a man, no matter whether the individual carried in his purse a million or a single coin - no matter, whether he was dressed in broadcloth or in rags. He was small in stature, but his heart was large. No one was more courteous than he. He never passed a person by without a pleasant "good morning" or "good evening" as it chanced to be; his hat was doffed to every lady whom he met. He had but one enemy in this world, and that one was himself. He never thought of self. His whole life was spent in helping others; no one ever called on him for help but that he responded. During past years his property gradually passed from his control, but for all that he was the same "Hi" from first to last. He lived his life and no one can say that it was void of good. He had his faults, but all were centered in one thing. Nothing was concealed - the word knew his every indiscretion. There was no dishonest, no deception in his makeup.
The funeral was held Monday from the Presbyterian Church, Rev. J.W. Winder officiating. The Fire Department, of which the deceased was always an active member, had charge of the ceremonies. The casket was carried by the Firemen from the residence to the church, and every member followed the remains to the grave.
