  [S927] Obituary. Haren, John Haren Spirit of Democracy, Woodsfield, Ohio, dated, February 27, 1929 Monroe County lost one of her most highly respected citizens recently in the person of John Haren Sr. of Woodsfield, whose death occurred on February 23, 1929, at the O.V.G. Hospital at Wheeling. Mr. Haren had not been in rugged health for several months and in that time, he was tenderly cared for by his family and every effort both in nursing and medical skill was expended to make him comfortable and restore his health, but the years had taken their toll of a body that had been well preserved and he was forced to yield to the inevitable. Mr. Haren was born was born near Miltonsburg on June 4, 1849, was the son of Peter and Gertrude Haren, was the last surviving member of a family of nine children. He spent his boyhood on the farm, but early in young manhood, he aspired to a business career and in preparation therefore went to Wheeling Business College, where he learned accounting and acquired a neat handwriting, both of which show scrupulous exactness and care to this day in book-keeping when cash registers, account files, adding machines and loose leaf ledgers were seldom used or unknown. And being in business nearly all his active life, his transactions totaled hundreds of thousands of dollars. Mr. Haren?s first business venture was a general store at ?Chapel Hill? near Burkhart Station, which he owned and managed for about twenty years. About 1900, when the oil boom hit Woodsfield, Mr. Haren moved to Woodsfield and engaged in the livery business, which he owned for about ten years until the automobile came into general use. Again he bought a building and opened a general store on South Main-st. where he continued to serve the public until his retirement about five years ago. Scrupulous exactness and strict honesty characterized his business career and were exercised at all times whether dealing with man, woman or child. His attitude was that of service and appreciation of confidence shown by his patrons at all times. On October 25, 1881, Mr. Haren was married to Miss Matilda Weisend and they began housekeeping at ?Chapel Hill.? A family of seven children was born to them, all of whom are living. They are Mrs. Frances Weisend of Akron, Miss Bertha of Cleveland; Miss Grace of Columbus; Misses Gussie and Clementine and John and Clarence of the home. Funeral services were held on Friday morning at St. Sylvester?s Church at Woodsfield. Solemn Requiem High Mass was solemnized by his pastor, Rev. J.B. Donahie, assisted by Rev. Thomas Nolan of Columbus and Rev. Gilbert Mehler of Barnesville. The funeral was largely attended as scores of people desired to pay their last tribute of respect to the memory of their former neighbor and friend. Among those from a distance were: Mrs. James Shearon and Charles Haren of Columbus; John Weisend and son John of Mc-Kees Rocks, PA.; Fred and Joseph Armbruster, Mrs. Helen Montgomery, Mr. Gallaher, Mrs. Dick Dauster, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ellis, Mrs. Julius Ehlerman and Nicholas Burkhart of Barnesville; George Brown of Temperanceville.
