Harry had been in poor health for some time and had resigned his position at Hugo with the Frisco Railroad to regain his former health.

When a boy he moved with his mother, Mrs. Lou Bass, to Hinesville, Ark., where they resided until about thirteen years ago when they moved to this county and settled in the Horner locality, southeast of town. At the age of 27 he was married to Miss Nora Smith, who survives him. For the the past few years the family has been at Hugo where Harry was an employee of the Frisco. Besides a wife and mother, he is survived by a sister, Mrs. Lula Moore, of Hugo, Okla., and brother, Charley, and other relatives of Cassville.

Harry was well known in and around Cassville. He was a quite and reserved citizen and ever mindful only of his own affairs. He was well liked and his friends will regret to hear of his death.

His body will arrive from Hugo, this morning (Thursday). At the time of going to press the funeral arrangements had not been definitely made.
