Elta Fern Hatchett, daughter of Andrew and Rose Hatchett, was born near Bedford, Iowa, August 23, 1897, and died at her home east of Bedford, Feb. 15, 1936. She grew to womanhood in the vicinity of Conway, Iowa, having lived all her life in Taylor county, with the exception of a short time spent in Creston.
