Mrs. Eliza Jane Hartgrove died Saturday morning at 5:30 o’clock at the home of her son, Mr. Walter Hartgrove on N. Washington street, following a second stroke of paralysis which she suffered a few days ago. Mrs. Hartgrove was 72 years of age and had been a very active woman until her first stroke of paralysis several years ago, when enfeebled her health.
She was born in Mecklenburg county, but had spent most of her life in Shelby. Some years ago her husband John A. Hartgrove died and since that time she lived with her children, spending most of the time with her son, Walter, mail carrier of Shelby route 6.
Mrs. Hartgrove was a kind-hearted woman who enjoyed the fellowship of those who knew her. She was a member of the Presbyterian church. Rev. W.A. Murray conducted the funeral services Sunday afternoon amid a crowd of sorrowing friends and the interment was in Sunset cemetery beside her husband.
Surviving are three sons: Walter, Craig and Will Hartgrove, and one daughter, Mrs. Hudson Hamrick.

Mrs. J.C. Bumgardner Dead
Kings Mountain Herald
After a lingering illness of about four years, most of which was spent in bed, Mrs. Susan Emeline Costner Baumgardner, wife of our townsman Mr. J.C. Baumgardner, departed this life Saturday about noon. The funeral was conducted in the home on Gold street Sunday afternoon at 2:30 by her pastor, Rev. J.O. Fulbright, assisted by a former pastor, Rev. A.H. Sims. The body was then taken to Mountain Rest cemetery and laid to rest under a mound of beautiful flowers and in the presence of a great concourse of relatives and friends.
For about 30 years the family had occupied the same house in which the wife and mother died. During this time this Godly woman had ingratiated herself with all with whom she came in contact so that when the final summons came she had friends without number.
