Moon, Harold Frederick -
The untimely death of Harold Moon last Sunday morning called forth universal sympathy and regret in the community. Many friends had watched the brace fight of the young man and felt the heart breaking grief of the family when the end came shortly after 12 o’clock Sunday morning

Short funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the home because the younger brother was sick and unable to attend the service held at the church at 2 p. m. Rev. G. T. Roberts, pastor of the Methodist church, conducted both services. Interment was in Walnut Grove cemetery.

Harold Frederick Moon, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Moon, was born near Prescott, May 29, 1912, and died December 9, 1928 aged 16 years, 6 months and 10 days. The family came to Corning shortly after Mrs. Moon took charge of the County Recorder's office in 1924 and has since been his home. He was a member of the Junior class and the football squad of 1928, although early in the year it was found that he was unable to play because of heart trouble. He was also a member of the boys' Glee Club. During the last few weeks an anemic condition developed which culminated in a serious hemorrhrage which the physicians were unable to check He rallied with encouraging symptoms after he was taken to the hospital in Creston, Wednesday, November 28, but finally succumbed in spite of all that could be done for him.

He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred L. Moon; four brothers, Jesse, Kenneth, Burdett and Wendell; and one sister, Evelyn. His four grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. William Moon and Mr and Mrs. Ross Mclntyre also survive.
