OBITS
Corrections:
By my calculations, Margaret was in Grandview for 32 years and in Dearborn County for at least 6 years, making 38 years in Indiana. Married in Aug 1854 and sold farm in Dearborn in Jan 1860, calculates more accurately to 5 ½ years, at least, in Dearborn County.
Henry died 18 Oct 1867 – this calculates to nearly 25 years, just 2 months short – not 23 years.

Margaret G Haartje
One by one of our old citizens are passing away. This week it is our unpleasant duty to record the death of Mrs. Margaret G. Haartje, who had been a resident of Grandview for 38 years. She was born in Hanover, Germany, March 3, 1829, and was, therefore, in her 64th year at the time of her death, which occurred on Friday, August 12, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Raymond Balser. Mrs. Haartje was a woman of generous nature, a kind good mother, and her cheerful disposition carried sunshine into every house which she visited. Her husband died 23 years ago, leaving her with eleven children, seven of whom are living and married. The funeral took place from the Lutheran church Saturday afternoon. The services were conducted in English by the Rev. Mr. Seybold, minister of the German Lutheran church of Rockport.
