As I drill down on the editing of the Hardenbrook monograph, and continue to "fill in the dash," I came across this obituary for the person I had only seen listed as Eva Hardenbrook Runner. Her obit told me her name was actually Martha Eva, where she was born, her religious affiliation, and most important, her death date and burial location.
Mrs. Martha Eva Runner, 86, died Monday night at her home at
Hammondsport R.D.1 following an extended illness. She was born in Mt. Morris
August 18, 1859, the daughter of Edward and Evelyn Thompson Hardenbrook. Mrs.
Runner was a member of the Wayne Methodist Church. She is survived by her
husband, Olin, two sons, Hallie of Hammondsport and Wendell of Stanley; seven
grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
The body is at the Bond Funeral Home and will be taken to
her late home where funeral services will be held Thursday at 2 o’clock. The
Rev. Earl Jones pastor of the Hammondsport Methodist Church will officiate and
burial will be in Pleasant Valley Cemetery.
