Death Claims City Native, Norah Hartzell

Mrs. Norah Clough Hartzell, 78, died Tuesday at the Community
Hospital, where she had been a patient for the last 3 1/2 years.

Mrs. Hartzell was born at the ranch home of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred S.
Clough, pioneers in the area. The ranch was located east of the
Prescott Municipal Airport and included the Point of Rocks at
Granite Dells and the land familiarly known as the Bianconi ranch.

She had spent her life in the vicinity of Prescott, only leaving for
a short period when she attended a school of home economics in
Boston, Mass. Upon the death of her parents in 1908, she sold the
ranch and later married Dr. Clark K. Hartzell, a dentist, who died
in 1951. Their home was at 226 S. Pleasant St.

Mr. and Mrs. Hartzell collected Indian artifacts after Dr.
Hartzell's retirement and , along with other things, which she had
presented to the Sharlot Hall Museum, have been placed in the
Hartzell room of the museum.

In the spring of 1955, Mrs. Hartzell desired to see the room and was
taken from the hospital to the museum on a stretcher in and
ambulance.

She was a member of the Monday Club for many years and took an
active part in its projects.

Survivors are three cousins, Ed Alexander, Wickenburg, Leila Barber
(Mrs. Frank) of Hancock, N.H., and Gladys Bradbury (Mrs. Lester) of
Oberlin, Ohio; and a niece, Miss Hazel Hartzell of North Benton,
Ohio, who visited her aunt here on several occasions.

Services have been scheduled for Friday at 2 p.m. at the Ruffner
chapel, with Dr. Charles Franklin Parker officiating. Interment
will be in the family plot at the Mountain View Cemetery.

Friends who wish to call at the Funeral home, mad do so between 6
and 9 p.m. Thursday.
