Obituary
Hannah Gertrude Northam was born in Brooklyn, Wisconsin, August 16, 1849, and passed away at her home in Des Moines May 26, 1918, aged 68 years, 9 months, 10 days. She moved with her parents to Dayton in the fall of 1865, and became a successful pioneer school teacher of this region, having attended the girls' seminary at Evansville, Wisconsin. Two of the active pall bearers at her funeral, N.G. Leonard and C.A. Gabrielson, were pupils of her schools. Here she was united in marriage to J.W. Hedberg, and together they lived on a farm west of town until the spring of 1894, when they moved to town to take charge of the Commercial hotel. In 1897 she moved with her family to Boone, and in 1906 to Des Moines, where she lived until her death. Besides the bereaved husband she is survived by four children, two sons and two daughters, who were all present at her funeral. In 1910 she united with the Highland Park Church of Christ in Des Moines and was a faithful active member until the stroke of paralysis on January 30th last, and even in her moments of semi-consciousness spoke several times of her desire to go home to her Savior. Services were held at the home of her pastor, and her remains brought to Dayton on Tuesday of last week, her funeral being held at the Swedish M. E. Church, conducted by Rev. Barton, and her remains laid to rest in Dayton cemetery. Mrs. Hedberg was a woman of the highest character, loved and respected by all who knew her. She was always active in the church and social circles of the community wherever she lived, always ready to serve those around her. A loving mother, a kind neighbor, and a faithful friend, she did her part in the early days of this place to develop the things that make for better lives. A host of lifelong friends of the bereaved family sympathize with them in their hour of sorrow.
