"The Kansas City Journal" (Missouri) Friday, November 22, 1907 FORETOLD HER END. "Do you know, I am going to die tonight." This startling statement was made by Mrs. Amantha HATCH while at the dinner table Wednesday at noon, to the rest of the family in the room. Her son, Dr. F. J. HATCH, was for the moment speechless. His mother was apparently in good health and she was only 58 years of age. Such a statement from her would have been laughed at had it not been for the tone and the manner in which she said it. "Why, mother," replied Dr. HATCH, "you must be joking. You couldn't make anyone believe that you were any nearer death than I am. Let's not talk about it any more." And so the subject was dropped. After dinner, while the family were gathered in the library, Mrs. HATCH asked that she might see all of the family pictures which were in the house, saying: "I want to see their faces for the last time. I told you all at the table that I am going to die tonight. Though you do not believe me, it is nevertheless true. I have known for a long time that I was going to die very soon, and something tells me that the time will be tonight." SHE WAS NOT ILL. "No, I am not in any pain, nor do I feel particularly ill," she answered in reply to a question from her son. "I only wish that it were possible for me to see all of my family and friends before tomorrow for I know that my life is over." Her son, believing that this was only a passing fancy, got out all of the family photographs and gave them to his mother. She talked for a while to each picture. While she was doing this, a telegram was handed to Dr. HATCH. He opened it, and found that it was from his father, stating that he was coming on the next train from Peru, Kas., the home of Dr. HATCH's parents, to his wife. He said in his telegram that something was wrong with his wife. No word had been sent to him of his wife's remarks during the afternoon. When he arrived in the city he told his son, "I can not explain the impulse that brought me here. Something told me that Amantha was in trouble and that I would better get to her as soon as possible. Daughter tried to keep me at home, saying that it was foolish for me to go, but I just had to: that is all there was to it." SHE CAME HERE TO DIE. When Dr. HATCH told his mother that her husband was coming, she seemed downcast and depressed over it, and was immediately taken quite ill. For a long time, she was absolutely silent and seemed to be in a stupor. To her son's question as to the cause of her downheartedness, she replied in broken sentences: "I did not want him to come, I left home and came on here to visit you so that there would be as little trouble about my dying as possible. I thought it would make things easier for those at home if I died away from them. I had planned this trip for some time, ever since the knowledge of my death came to me. Yes, I am sorry that he came. Something must have told him that I was going to die. No, I never talked of my death before him. He couldn't have known. I think I will go to bed now. Goodby my son: God bless you all." She left the room and went upstairs, where her daughter-in-law helped her to bed. At 6:30 her husband arrived and Dr. HATCH went into her room to tell her that he had come. He asked her if he should bring his father on upstairs. ALONE WITH HER. "No," she replied rather dreamily, "I am not ready for him yet." But in a few minutes she called for him and the two were left alone. Later in the night, Mrs. HATCH became much worse and began to sink rapidly. For several hours she was unconscious, but after midnight she rallied again. She called each member of the household to her bedside, and had something to tell each of them. She asked to be remembered to all of her friends, whom she called by name. There was one name which she could not recall, and it seemed to worry her very much. She never lost consciousness again, but sank gradually into an eternal slumber: the slumber for which she had waited and which she had prophesied. "Never in all my life have I seen as eloquent a death," said her son last night. "She did not seem to die, but rather to gain new life even up to the last. With a kind word for everyone upon her lips she passed out of this life." Mrs. HATCH was 58 years of age and had come to Kansas City on a visit to her son, Dr. F. J. HATCH, 1502 Troost avenue. He said last night that her death was caused from apoplexy and a solidifying of the arteries. She is survived by her husband and two children. The body will be taken to Peru, Kas., for burial, and will be accompanied by Dr. HATCH and his family. ====================================================== (I have no connection with this family but I'd appreciate knowing if you found this posting helpful.)

Could someone help me? I need to find out when Estella(Stella) Amelia Johnson divorce Samuel Alfred Wilson. I think they married on Aug 18, 1923. She remarried her first husband after the divorce, who was William M. Braton. Anne

Thank you for sharing your information about Mr. O'Brien. I'm more concerned about his welfare than I am about genealogy research. He is a very nice person.

I hope and pray that he has gone on a trip. It just seems so strange not to have seen anything from him in such a long time. Janet Porter

August is the time of the summer in many people's lives when they have the fewest commitments to keep them at home, and many of them travel, so I wouldn't be concerned at this point.

Your inquiry was a legitimate one, Marilyn. I have been occupied elsewhere and haven't worked on my genealogy so hadn't accessed my account where Mr. O'Brien's reports are sent. I just assumed his messages were waiting for me and I'd play catch-up as soon as I could. Would it be rude to phone the Independence, Missouri, library's genealogy section and ask about him? I'm sure he's very well known and recognized there!!! Joyce, Herington, Kansas [email protected] wrote: Well, I tried it on my nickle also and got the same reply, only Yahoo's more polite than AOL.

This is the first I have received in quite awhile. Is something wrong?

I haven't received a RootsWeb report from Mr. O'Brien since July 20th. I emailed him personally yesterday and haven't received a reply. I didn't get anything from him about his taking a break from reporting. And, he, thankfully, hasn't been noted in the Kansas City Star online obituaries! I hope he's well. I doubt very much there is a better genealogy informant than John O'Brien. He's extremely helpful and accurate. I'm sure I'm not the only person to rely on him!

Dear John O'Brien and whomever may recognize these names, My parents were born and grew up in the Kansas City area, some of their ancestors grew up in the K.C. area and I grew up in the K.C. area but I have yet to find a name that I know, in all of the information that you have put on the List. I keep my subscription though because you never know what will come up and there are other opportunities for asking for help and knowledge. I have a problem with one of my relatives that belongs in my family history database. I had information that one of my Grand Aunt's daughters was a twin but I don't have a confirmation of that. You have had some births listed, at about the time of their births, so I thought maybe you would come across a notice of their birth in one of the KC papers. They were Dorothy and Dora (I've been told) Wood, born November 3, 1910 - parents were John C. Wood and Kate Wood. I also have found out that Dora died between 1911 and 1913 (in CA.) but I don't think that I will ever be able to find out more since I don't have an exact date or place. Oh, these brick walls are frustrating.
