- Mrs. Mary Alice Rebecca (Groh) Hain, widow of Captain George J. Hain, a Civil War officer, passed away at 1:35 o'clock Sunday morning at her home at 446 North Ninth Street. She had been in failing health for some months and was bedfast for fifteen weeks. Her death was attributed to ebbing vitality due to old age rather than any organic disorders. She passed her 84th birthday anniversary on August 27th this year. Her husband, George J. Hain, died October 31st, nineteen years ago. In this connection a strange coincidence occurred. He left a brother, Calvin U. Hain, whose wife died on Saturday at the family home at 364 Penn Avenue, Robesonia. Notifications were in the mails to relatives of both, when the making of funeral arrangements disclosed the deaths of the sister-in-law to relatives on both sides. Both ladies were members of Tulpehocken Reformed Church east of Myerstown; the funerals will be held on the same day and burials will be in the same cemetery, with the Tulpehocken minister, Rev. J. Donald Backenstose officiating at both funerals.
Mrs. George J. Hain was born in Marion Township, Berks County, on the borderline of Lebanon County. In addition to membership in the Tulpehocken Reformed congregation, she was a member of the Ladies of the Golden Eagle, at Myerstown in which borough she resided for fourteen years prior to her coming to Lebanon about fifteen years ago.
She was the mother of seven children, all of whom survive her. They are: Hardie G., of Philadelphia; Adam J., of Harrisburg; Mary, wife of Clayton Trautman, near Bunker Hill; Warren G., of Elizabethtown; Paul J., of Hershey; and Miss Amy, employed at the Solomon Levitz "Globe" clothing store on South Eighth Street, and residing at home. There are ten grandchildren and six great grandchildren.
The sister-in-law, Mrs. Calvin U. Hain, 65, the former Ella J. Kline, was also personally known in Lebanon County and had family ties here. She was a daughter of the late Peter and Amelia (Wagner) Kline, and a member of Tulpehocken Reformed Church. Surviving are her husband; two daughters, Mary E., wife of Hubert S. Miller, of Myerstown R.D. 2; Marie A., wife of Raymond Boyer, of Sinking Spring R. 2; seven grandchildren and two brothers and a sister, Harry, of New Brunswick, N.J.; George, of Newmanstown, and Tillie, wife of Samuel Wolfskill, of Reamstown.
