Obituary:S1
      Jeremiah, Hatfield, one of the oldest citizens of Jackson Township, died at the home of his daughter in Owensburg, January 10th, 1919. Uncle Jerry, as he was familiarly known, was born in Campbell County, Tennessee, February 8, 1926. He came to Greene County with his father in the year 1831, riding the entire distance on a pack horse. He has resided continuously in Jackson township a period of eighty-eight years.
      He was the son of the well known pioneer, Emanuel Hatfield, and the oldest child of a family of thirteen children, eleven of whom have now passed to the beyond. He is survived by one brother, Jasper Nl Hatfield, of Washington township and one sister, Mrs. Genira Ashcraft, of Owensburg.
      He was married to Nancy Spears in the year 1848. To this union were born seven children, three of whom died at an early age. The remaining children are Mrs. Jane Owens, of Owensburg, Howard Hatfield, also of Owensburg, Emanuel Hatfield, of Ford, Kan., and Sherman Hatfield of Lyons. Since the death of his wife he had been making his home with his daughter.
      Being one of those rare characters, who, although he attained the age of almost ninety-three, never came to the condition of childishness; always manifesting the qualities of love, kindness, patience, and sympathy for his fellow man. It is commonly said of him that he was never known to get angry and never knowingly wronged a neighbor. He was a veteran of the Civil War and went with Sherman on his March to the Sea. He was a member of the Baptist church and lived a consistent Christian life which was shown by his daily conduct.
      During his last days, he calmly and patiently approached the end, as one who in the language of the poet, "wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams."
      Uncle Jerry will be missed by a host of friends and relatives who mourn his loss.
