Colgan, Amadine Hartley
The following acount of the death of Mrs. William Colgan, of Meade county, Kansas taken from the Meade County Newspaper and will doubtless be read with regret by some of the old residents of this county who remembered Mrs. Colgan as a girl when she lived in this county.
Mrs. Colgan's maiden name was Miss Amadine Hartley and she lived with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Hartley, who used to own what is now J. R. Blackshere's farm northwest of Elmdale.
The account of her death follows:
The life of another of Meade County's early settlers came to a peaceful close, when on October 3, 1920 the final summons came to Mrs William Colgan at her home in the Artesian Valley.
"Amadine Hartley was born in Terre Haute, Indiana, March 7, 1851, and with her parents came to Chase county, Kansas, in 1856. Here she was educated and later graduated from the State Normal at Emporia. For ten years she devoted her time to teaching in the public schools of Kansas, and in the spring of 1883 came, to Meade county and settled on a claim in the Artesian Valley. In 1898 she was united in marriage to William Colgan.
There are left to mourn her departure her husband, one sister, Mrs. Mary LaCoss, of Des Moines, Iowa; and a nephew, Frank Hartley, of Alva, Oklahoma, all of whom were at the bedside when the end came, and number of other relatives.
"Funeral services were held at St. John's Catholic church, Monday morning, conducted by Rev. A. A. Hermann and interment made in Graceland cemetery."
