Mr. C. R. Haselbarth died at the family home on Ord Street April 29th, at the age of 87 years, 4 months and 15 days.
He was born in Auma, Germany, December 14, 1830, emigrating to the U.S. when in his 25th year, coming to our town five years after landing. Here he started the tinning business and for quite a number of years has been the head of the hardware firm of C.R. Haselbarth and Sons. March 20, 1862, he was married to Lydia Dively, to which union were born three daughters and four sons, all of whom, with the widow, survive: William R., Edward E., George C., and Miss Anna, of Salisbury; Mrs. Jennie Zobel, of Washington, D.C., Dr. Albert L. Haselbarth, of Mercersburg, Pa.; and Mrs Harriet Kretchman of Pittsburgh.
Funeral services in the Lutheran Church the following Thursday, conducted by his pastor, Rev. Charles Lambert, assisted by Rev. L.P. Young, D.D. All business places were closed during the time the services were being conducted. Both as a neighbor and a business man Mr. Haselbarth was the most accommodating, honest, industrious, and he was respected by the whole community as one of its best citizens. His death is regarded as a distinct loss to the community.
The Somerset County Star has a similar obit but lists his name as Carl Richard Haselbarth. The Star has some noteworthy Additions: " along with many others of his countryman he set sail from Bremen, Germany for America on July 11, 1855. After six or seven weeks sailing upon the Atlantic, he finally landed in New York City. While in New York City, he was engaged in making the first coal oil lamps made in this country. From New York, he went to Washington, Baltimore, remaining but a short time in both of these cities, he came to Mt. Savage, Md., and later to Frostburg. Here he decided to go west and in 1860 started upon his contemplated trip coming by way of Salisbury."
