Mrs. Hannah Hyatt, mother of Mrs. James P. Way, died last Wednesday morning at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Way, in this city, in the 84th year of her age. “Mother” Hyatt has been ailing the past six years, the greater portion of the time being unable to leave her room. She came to Kansas in 1861, and with other old settlers had born the vicissitudes of a frontier life with that heroism and courage only to people who have passed through such scenes. She leaves numerous friends and relatives to mourn her demise. Divine services were held at her late residence on Friday morning and at 2 o’clock pm, her remains were consigned to the tomb in Pleasanton cemetery.
