Zelina Harker obituary, 1892

from the New Jersey Courier 4 Aug 1892 Mrs Zelina Harker, wife of William Harker, died on Friday last, July 29th, aged 31 years. She had been ill but about a fortnight, and was not considered to be in danger. The cause of her death was typhoid fever. Mrs Harker was a daughter of John H Irons of our town. Some years ago, she married Mr Jamison, who met a tragic death- his wagon being struck by a train, and he being thrown dead almost into his own door. By him she had one son, a bright lad of about six years. On the 10th of May last, she was married to William Harker of Hornerstown. Mrs Harker was a woman of quiet and unostentatious manners, but of thorough worth, and will be greatly missed by a large circle of friends. Funeral services were held on Sunday, and conducted by Rev R B Stephenson. Interment was at Cedar Grove Cemetery
