Carson Hathaway Passes Away, Is Buried in Lusk

Funeral Services Held in Lusk Monday, With Many Friends From North Country Attending

Carson Hathaway, 79 years old, died Saturday, November 11, of uremic poisoning, at the Manring Convalescent Home, following an illness of about two years. Five days before death, the deceased sank into a coma, from which he never revived.

Since 1920, Mr. Hathaway has resided on his homestead in the northern part of the county, or with his son, Charles E. Hathaway, who lives in the Cheyenne River district. Six weeks before his death he was brought to the Manring Home for medical treatment, but his advanced age and the seriousness of his illness made recovery impossible.

Funeral services were held Monday morning at 10:30, from the Peet Mortuary, with Rev. B. F. Farrar officiating. Interment was made in the Lusk Cemetery, and funeral arrangements were conducted by the Peet Mortuary.
