Mrs. Julia Hatch passed quietly away at 11:45 a.m., Monday, Sept. 23, 1907, at the family residence, 1005 North Seventh street, of bronchitis, aged 74 years, 9 months and 3 days. She had been in declining health for more than a year but had been able to ride and enjoy outdoor air until the past three weeks. Mrs. Hatch was the youngest member of the Enos family, probably the best known family in the city, especially with the elder residents of Springfield. Her father, Pascal E. P. Enos, was one of the four founders of the Capital city. The family enjoys the distinction of having given to the city for public purposes, property of great value.

Mrs. Hatch was educated at Monticello. She was married in 1860 to Hon. Ozias M. Hatch, when he was secretary of the state of Illinois. She was born in this city and had always resided here. Mrs. Hatch is survived by her three sons, Ozias M., Pascal E., secretary of the First Trust and Savings bank, and Frank L. Hatch, state's attorney. She is also survived by one brother, Zimri Enos, and one sister, Susan P. Enos.

Mrs. Hatch in her girlhood days and early married life was fond of society and was very poular with the young and old. Of late years and since the death of her husband, her pleasure has been the enjoyment of home life and care and attention to make comfort and sunshine for her sons. While not a member of the First Presbyterian church, she and her children always attended. Many a poor family will sadly miss her. She loved to give quietly but liberally to the worthy poor. Mrs. Hatch grew old gracefully and leaves the memory of a beautiful, blameless and benificent life.

The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at the residence. The interment will be made in Oak Ridge cemetery. Pub. in State Journal, Springfield, IL 9-24-1907
