Harry Jaggs died suddenly at his home Sunday afternoon of a heart ailment that had afflicted him for several years. He had been connected with the railway service since 1923 when he moved to this city.

He was a man of fine character, a friend to all and a man who was a fine neighbor and a warm friend to those he became acquainted with. We have known Mr. Jaggs for many years and it was a pleasure to list him as a warm friend that he was.
