The Washington Republican Washington County Friday February 21, 1896 Mrs. Haak Dead. Saturday morning our citizens were sadly surprised to learn that one of their number had been called during the morning hours. When the news was announced that Mrs. HAAK was dead, but few people knew she had been ill. She was troubled with heart disease, and with other complication her illness was of short duration. Mrs. Haak was born in Pennsylvania 46 years ago, and in 1870 was married to Thomas Haak. The following year they moved from Pennsylvania and settled in Washington, where he died in Aug. 1890. Six children have been born, two having died, and the living are Harry L., M. Ella, Kate and Blaine J. who all remain here. Mrs. Haak was known to be a good, kind and Christian woman, exercising great care with her children to see that they were brought up in the proper way. Her funeral was held in the Haak home Monday, Feb. 17, conducted by Rev. HAGEMAN, and the remains laid to rest in the Washington cemetery beside her husband and two children. The four children, the youngest about 12 years old, have the sympathy of the community in their sudden bereavement.
