*note: the obituary and the cemetery transcription conflict. There was no date on this clipping I found in my family's things.
Rites Held Tuesday For Mary Hatfield, 87
Funeral services for Mrs. Mary Mary [sic] Hatfield, 87, long-time teacher in the Fortine area, were held Tuesday at 10 a.m. at our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church. Father Gerald Lynam officiated. Music was by he Catholic choir.
Interment was in the Fortine cemetery. Pallbearers were John Gehre, Moritz Gehre, Joe Flanagan, Joe Stoken, Herb Wilke, and and [sic] John Vukonich.
Honorary pallbearers were Ray Flanagan, Bert Wilke, Fred Titchbourne, P.V. Klinke, Don Weydemeyer, and Winton Weydemeyer.
Mrs. Hatfield died Saturday, March 22, at the Hot Springs hospital.
She was born May 14, 1881, at County Waterford, Ireland. She came to the United States with her family at the age of 12, and they lived in Hubbell, Mich., here she met her husband, Ted Hatfield. He preceded her to the Fortine area in 1913 and she joined him and they were married in Kalispell on August 12, 1913. A carpenter by trade, he built their home near the Reinwand service station. Before her marriage she had taught in Michigan and South Dakota, and after coming to Montana she graduated from Normal College at Dillon, after which she taught at Trego, Sheldon Canyon, and Fortine. She had retired from teaching about 16 years ago.
She and her sister, Mrs. Bridget Reinwand, had made their home together most of their lives. The two women had been in the Hot Springs nursing home since Oct. 1.
Mrs. Catherine Power of Hubbell, Mich., is another sister. The only other survivors are several nieces and nephews. Her husband preceded her in death.
This most likely came from The Tobacco Valley News (Eureka, MT), but there is nothing to indicate the source or date. Suspect it's 1968, but again, that conflicts with the cemetery transcription.
