Mrs. Martin Hatlie, wife of sheriff Martin Hatlie, of this county, passed away at her home at 3:30 Wednesday morning following an illness of a weeks duration. The cause of her death was erysipelas complicated by lobar pneumonia and heart trouble.
Funeral services with full military honors will be held Saturday afternoon. A short service and prayer will be held from the sheriff’s residence at 1:30 and at 2 o’clock at Bethel Lutheran church and burial will be in Fairview Cemetery. Rev. P. A. Gisvold will officiate. Arrangements are with the Miller-Hafner-Ross Post of the American Legion, Wahpeton.
Daughter of pioneer parents, Annie Mathilda Mickelson, was born, July 24, 1893 on a farm near Walcott where she lived with her parents and where she grew to young womanhood. She was baptized in the Lutheran faith and was confirmed July 25, 1909 in the South Pleasant Lutheran church.
Following are exerts from a brief sketch of Mrs. Hatlie’s life as a professional nurse in the World War as written by herself: “I took my nursing training at St. Luke’s hospital in Fargo beginning October 8, 1913 and completed my course October 3, 1916, that date being on Saturday and on the following Monday I began working in a position which I had accepted with a doctor’s firm whose offices were on the 4th floor of the hospital and remained with them as their assistant until they moved into offices what is now Fargo Clinic. I enlisted as a Red Cross nurse and joined the Army Nurses Corps later. August 25th, 1918 I was sent to Camp Lewis, Washington, left Fargo on Monday night and arrived at Tacoma, Wash, Wednesday night and the next morning took the bus to Camp Lewis. We had about 15 Fargo nurses in the Camp so I felt very much at home. I was there two weeks when I was placed in charge of Ward 33 where we first had mumps measles and flu. Camp life was very enjoyable. With the approval of the Secretary of War I received my honorable discharge April 3rd,1919 and then came home and returned to my former position.”
The marriage to Martin Hatlie took place Feb. 25, 1922 and for several years they lived in Abercrombie community. Mr. and Mrs. Hatlie have made Wahpeton their home over a period of years. They have one son, Norton.
Left to mourn the death of a loving wife, mother, daughter and sister are her husband, son Norton, Mother, Mrs. Bertha Mickelson of Walcott, three sisters, Mrs. George Swenson, Fargo, Mrs. Albert Sonsthagen of Litchille, N.D., Miss Maude Mikkelson at home; three brothers, Clarence at home, Joseph at Wahpeton and Theodore at Glasgow, Mont.
In the death of Mrs. Hatlie this community has lost one of its most highly respected and honored women. Throughout the years, Mrs. Hatlie although engrossed in her home and family found time to minister to the sick and to the needy. She was devoted to her church, was an ardent worker and at all times ready to lend assistance. She was a member of the Bethel Lutheran church, the church aid and Circle. Her work as an Army nurse was equally outstanding.
During the funeral services Saturday, women who served in the World War will act as an escort of honor. The Firing Squad from Co. “I” will fire the salute at the cemetery.
Active pallbearers will be George J. Fischer, LeRoy Pease, Dr. Kreidler, O. J. Dietz, G. J. Christianson and John Jacobchick. Honorary pallbearers will be D.S. McIllwain, M.S. Rickert, Carl Gauslow, Einar Vohnson, John Peschel and A. W. Ponath.
