s/o John Ogburn & Martha Ann Fenimore
Harlan Ogburn, much loved citizen of Corning, was born in Madison county, Iowa, November 25, 1860 and died suddenly April 24, 1935, aged 74 years, 4 months and 29 days. He was the son of John and Martha Ogburn and was one of a family of eight children, five girls and three boys.
He was married to Elizabeth Scott of Truro, Iowa, who preceded him in death about 25 years ago. Shortly afterward he came to Adams county and was married to Elizabeth Daggett December 23, 1914, and this has been their home. The brothers and sisters who preceded him in death are Mary E. Shutt, Francis Parker, Hattie Fletcher and Merrit Ogburn.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Elizabeth Ogburn of Corning, one stepson, C.W. Daggett of St. Charles, Iowa; one stepdaughter, Mrs. Lee Hill of Corning; his brother William Ogburn of Corning; two sisters, Mrs. J.H. Reed of Los Angeles, Calif. and Mrs. H.A. Johnson of Casper, Wyoming; four grandchildren and one great granddaughter, besides a host of relatives and friends who join with the family in their sorrow.
When a young man Mr. Ogburn united with the Friend's Church, later becoming a member of the local Federated church, to which he has proven a faithful, devoted member. He was a member of the Masonic order. Significant as an index to Mr. Ogburn's character is the fact that, never having had children of his own, he was lovingly known, especially among young people as "Daddie Ogburn". He was a friend to everyone and no higher tribute can be paid to anyone. He was a conscientious workman as a carpenter and has served for a number of years as the janitor of the library. His service to this institution is going to be difficult to replace, as no requirement seemed too much in the library and its service to the public. His service in a simple, unobtrusive way, is going to be greatly missed.
Funeral services were held from the Hilliard Funeral Home Friday morning at 9:30, conducted by the Rev. Howard Congdon. The body was taken to St. Charles, his former home, where services were held at 2:30 in the afternoon. Those from out of town who attended the funeral were: Edward Hill of Iowa City, Mrs. King Blakel and son, Donald of Harlan, Mrs. Elmer Burgett of Hancock, Mr. and Mrs. Carl Daggett and daughter, Eleanor, of St. Charles
