HANYEN, MARY LOUISE (SRGP 8660)
As the first rays of light shone over the eastern hills, in the
early morning of September 29, 1927, the soul of M. Louise Hanyen left
its earthly dwelling, and quietly and peacefully passed out into the Great
Beyond. Miss Hanyen had been a patient sufferer in the Robert Packeer
Hospital, Sayre, Pennsylvania, for several weeks. Following an operation,
all the aid known to medical science was given her; everything that loving
hands could do, to help ward off the progress of complications was done.
The tired body seemed unable to respond to the earthly call; but at daylight,
when the Heavenly call came—“Tis enough, come up higher,” the struggling
soul was willingly released and went joyfully on its celestial journey.
Thus has ended a beautiful life. Miss Hanyen was born in Elmira,
N.Y., the daughter of Cornelius B. And Jennie Reynolds Hanyen, both deceased.
She attended the schools in that city and later graduated from the Teachers
College here. She taught in the schools of Elmira for several years,
retiring at the time of her father’s death to live at the family home in
Rutland, Pa., with her mother. Since the death of her mother, in
1923, she has spent the winter months with her sister, Mrs. Lewis M. Palmer,
50 St. James Street, and has made many friends here. Miss Hanyen’s
beautiful Christian character was exemplified in her daily life.
She had hosts of friends, whose hearts are greatly saddened by her going.
Miss Hanyen was a member of the First Methodist Church in Elmira; but during
her stay in Rutland and Mansfield has been a devoted worker in the church
of her choice. She was president of the Ladies’ Aid Society of the
Roseville Church for several terms, and gave her time willingly for a cause
that was dear to her heart. The following relatives survive:
A sister, mrs. Blanche Hanyen Palmer, of Mansfield; two brothers, Attorney
Fred C. Hanyen, of Scranton, and Prof. C. B. Hanyen, Superintendent of
Schools, Kingston, Pa.; three nieces, H. Louise Palmer, a student in the
college here; Mildred Hanyen Kocher, a student in Columbia University;
Jennie M. Hanyen, a member of the faculty in Elmira College; one nephew,
Howard R. Hanyen, advertising manager for Cleland, Simpson Co., Scranton.
The funeral services were largely attended on Saturday afternoon at the
home of her sister, Mrs. Lewis M. Palmer. There was a great profession
of beautiful flowers, many floral pieces being sent from friends living
at a distance. The service was in charge of Rev. W. W. Kehler, pastor
of the Rutland Methodist Church. Interment was in the family plot
in Woodlawn Cemetery, Elmira, N.Y. Rexford Soper was the funeral
director. The pall-bearers were C. L. Longwell, W. W. Allen, John
Farrer, W. S. Farrer, Prof. G. B. Strait, Fremont Walters, G. L. Palmer,
M. V. Benson.
