Flying High at Ninety
"Well, I know I have been nearer heaven than most of you fellows," was the greeting Ellen Harn of Kenesaw gave to the people she met when, at the age of 90, she descended from her first airplane voyage and came back to earth and the cornfields of Nebraska. Miss Harn, a former school teacher and pioneer suffragist, took her first flight seventy years ago, when flying was a novelty to people of any age.

Recording her adventures in The Woman Citizen, the publication of the National Suffrage Association, Miss Harn explained that she was not afraid of flying. On the contrary, she worried she'd never get the chance to be airborne. "I had been fearful that at my age I might drop off and never see an airplane, when to my surprise a plane came floating over my head. I returned to the house to find my grand nieces with a car to take me to the ascension grounds, where I was invited to make a flight with Aviator Creeth in the machine that had just flown over my head."

"Several of my friends wished me to take with me a small flag and to wave it so that they might know it was I in the plane above. In search for the flag the only one to be found had a suffrage pennant attached to it. Upon asked leave to do the bidding of my friends the owner of the plane, Mr. Snyder, promptly filed an injunction." But the pilot, Mr. Creeth, came to the rescue and offered to drop the flag with its suffrage banner as the pair flew over the town flag pole.

"We mounted the airplane and started. On the broad-tread of the plane we went bumping over the uncircumscribed alfalfa field. The bumping ceased. I leaned out to see what was up; found the nose of the plane describing an upward angle and clear of all entanglements. 'Now we are in for it,' my brain fluttered."

"I was secure in the hidden arms of the trusty aviator behind me with clear, alert brains. So I gave myself up to the newness of the lower landscape, its child-like markings into fields and city squares. The higher we went up the more like the playground of the kids it became.

"We made note of the whitening stubble of the many wheatfields and I cannot describe the feeling that took possession of me as we were so quietly and peacefully tobogganing up the ethereal heights.

"We drifted south. Then, westward. Grey Eagle pointed her straight beak and we seemed to float. I don't know how far. I only knew that we were floating, that the air was sugary sweet, and the great round world, whispering no sound to us, lay far below. The white, comfortable, homelike farmhouses . . .became mere flecks of white. There were old barns, sleek Percherons, high-stepping trotters, graceful, pretty little mustangs arrayed in the colors of Joseph's coat, grazing on the alfalfa stretches, Jerseys, Holsteins, shorthorns on the thousand, grassy interstices of the gray old sand dunes.

"Striking the southwestern suburbs of Kenesaw we circled round west, then north until we struck Smith Avenue. The focus of our search was the Stars and Stripes, at high mast on the avenue over which Aviator Creeth had promised to drop the pennant.

"When the opportune time came, down it went, through the blue ether and the golden sun-light, U.S. flag and suffrage pennant. Dual as they were at the starting point, before they had reached the earth they had become so interwoven, so entwined, that no political microscope could discover their individuality. They two were one and the same.

"The plane momentarily hovered over the gray gable of my prairie home, then stuck a bee line for the point of decension, a mile or more away. I braced myself for a bump and a bang, but the bird caught hold of a tuft of alfalfa as softly and smoothly as if a bevy of twilight sparrows were stopping for a night's rest.² The cause of death was chronic Endocarditis. Author of an apparently unpublished manuscript on Harn Family. Ellen Dorcas Harn Manuscript. In 1906, Ellen owned 40 acres in Adams Co., Kenesaw twsp., Sec 35. Ellen D. Harn president of Adams Co Suffrage Organization for years.

The Hennepin Co., MN Deed Index, Book 7, page 313, states that on 27Jun1865, Ellen D. Harn was the Grantor of Lot 11, block 223. The Grantee being Alvin D. Williams.

The following was from the book, Adams County: A Story of the Great Plains, by Dorothy Weyer Creigh, published in 1972, by the Adams County-Hastings Centennial Commission, page 513, 899:
"She still does a large part of her own work, feeds her chickens, cares for the family cow and plants her own garden. She acquired the vote after 70 years of constant effort toward woman suffrage. At 91 she took an airplane ride when such a feat was considered exceptionally dangerous."
"Miss Ellen D. Harn, Kenesaw pioneer and early-day teacher, made her first airplane flight in 1918 when she was 89 years old. When the open cockpit plane piloted by Burgess Creeth, was over the house-tops of Kenesaw, she released a banner which said "Votes for Women", clearly visible to the gawking public a few hundred feet below."

The following obituary for Ellen Dorcas Harn was in the Kenesaw Progress Newspaper, on 01May1930, page 1.
Death Claims Kenesaw's oldest citizen 1829-1930. Ellen D. Harn, who over one hundred years ago opened her eyes in this world, and since that time has kept one focused on the doings of the world, is dead.
She had been ill only two days. Her trouble developed so rapidly that she was unconscious throughout the day Tuesday and at 12:40 Wednesday she passed out of this life at 101 years, 3 months and 13 days of age.
Miss Harn was born in Fredericks county, Maryland, January 18, 1829. She was an early school teacher, one of the first women to teach. She was brave, daring and always fought for the things she thought right. She was never ill to speak of, and late years found her pen as strong as her voice was 75 years ago for woman suffrage, against the saloon, and for higher ideals in her profession as a school teacher.
Miss Harn came to Kenesaw many years ago. After spending half a century in Pennsylvania and Maryland, she came to Nebraska and helped those struggling early-day settlers build what is today one of the greatest educational systems in the world. She was one of the early pioneer school teachers, in fact one of the first of her sex to teach in the states of Pennsylvania and Maryland. As she got older the world got better, and no doubt at all but from some of her teachings. Then she became older, never weakened; her power become stronger and stronger, until today that for which she stood has all come to pass- teachers by the thousands of her own sex in the school room-yes and in congress-no saloons-and the women still forging ahead.
At the time of her 100th birthday, Kenesaw and community tendered her a birthday party in the Methodist Hall. All afternoon it was packed from the front to the back. Hundreds came to congratulate her; some of then early-day pupils, their hair gray and their backs bent. The school children marched from the school to the front of the hall where Miss Harn met them and talked to them for 10 minutes as though nothing unusual had happened. She was young; only the great number of years she lived were old. Just to look at her was to admire her.
Miss Mary Williams, who has made her home with Miss Harn for many years and Miss Katie Thrall, of Formosa Beach, Calif; two nieces were with her when the quiet ending of her life came. Many other relatives will arrive before Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock when the funeral will be held in the Methodist church. At first arrangements it was to have been held beside the 35-year old lilac bush which she planted and so greatly admired, but since have been changed.
Rev. Harry Wolcott of Smithfield will preach her funeral. He is a former pupil of Miss Harn and spoke at her 100th birthday party. Early Wednesday morning telegraph keys began to click off the news of her passing, the radio announced it, and later came the press, all carrying with their messages a tribute to her many years of usefulness.
Her funeral will be the largest ever held in Kenesaw. It will be attended by relatives, friends and admirers from four different directions. After it then will come a shower of flowers, letters, and cards, from all over the United States- from governors, from congressmen, from former students and from other pioneers who are creeping close to the century mark.
