I am not related to this family, but will be willing to make a copy of this for any related family. "Died, January 29th, Clarence D. Hadley, aged 29 years, 7 months, and 7 days. Funeral services at the home on Saturday, Feb. 1st. Internment at Maplewood Cemetery, Springville. Clarence Day Hadley was the youngest son of Henry H. and Elizabeth Wiltse Hadley, and was born at East Ashford, June 22nd, 1883. Both his parents were descended from good New England stock and he had inherited their good traits, industry, economy and honesty. On the first day of the New Year, he was sickened with pneumonia of an aggravated type and was desperately sick for a number of weeks, but for some days before his death he had improved rapidly and all believed him on the road to recovery, when a heart complication snuffed out his life in a moment, literally, proving the truth of the bible assertion, 'In the midst of life we are in death.' About eight years ago he was joined in marriage to Miss Dora Wasson, who with two little children survive him, as do his parents and brother, Bert, of Buffalo, and an adopted sister, Mrs. Earl Cole of Springville. In his disposition and association with others he was a peculiarly lovable personality, and the friendships of boyhood with early associates ripened into strong love and regard of manhood. He was a valued member of West Valley Lodge, No 665, I O. O. F. , and had just completed a term as its presiding officer, in which position by his ability, activity and fairness of administration he had won the high regard of his associated. The lodge conducted the services which were impressive and beautiful, and a profusion of beautiful flowers were presented by members and friends. In the loss of this good brother, son, husband and father, not only the family but the community has sustained a distinct loss, and it will be many moths ere his genial smile and kindly ways will be forgotten"
