Many requests are made for obituary
notices and this is a good genealogical resource, as well as
providing obits to extended family members who may not have an
original. Searching previous year obituaries (mainly prior to
2003) requires a good deal of time. If you found this to be a valuable
resource and would like to be a sponsor toward keeping the
obituaries page updated, send donations to History of
Hartford Obituaries, Emma Sefcik, 59320 62nd St, Hartford MI
49057. Since the History of Hartford website is a voluntary
effort, your contribution is much appreciated.
Email the webmaster
with any correction of obvious errors that may have
occurred in the original newspaper obit.

Halo (Woodward) Barden was born in Hartford, Michigan December
29,1890, and died in her home in Watervliet, Wednesday, January
7,1914 being twenty years and nine days old.
She was married to Don Bardon, of Watervliet, April
10,1910. From this happy union one little boy was born, Donald,
whom this affliction leaves motherless. She leaves a father, a
mother, two
brothers, three sisters, the little son Donald, and an affectionate
and devoted husband, to mourn their loss.
She united with the Congregational church at Benton
Harbor, a number of years ago, and never
entirely gave up her faith, as was evidenced by her grasp upon Jesus
when she realized that death
was near. She seemed to delight to sing Gospel hymns, and only a
few minutes before she passed away she used her little strength in
singing , "We Are Going Home."
Although during her short illness she suffered great
pain, the pain ceased toward the last and she passed quietly and
peacefully away with a smile upon her lips.
The funeral services were held at the Congregational church in Watervliet, conducted by Rev. F.L. Niles. That she was
held in high esteem was evidenced by the very large congregation of
sympathizing friends who attended the services. The interment was
in the cemetery near that village.
