HARRY RATCLIFF LAID TO REST

The funeral of Harry RATCLIFF was held this afternoon at the First Methodist church in charge of Rev. W. R. Keeney, and was largely attended.

Wallace Harrison RATCLIFF (sic - Harry) was born in Fairfield January 10, 1855, and would thus have been 63 years old Wednesday. He was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert F. RATCLIFF, who were pioneer residents of this community.

On Christmas Day, 1883, he was united in marriage with Ida M. WHITE and they have since made their home in or near Fairfield. Beside Mrs. RATCLIFF, there are two sisters and one brother who survive him. They are Mrs. Virginia GILLETTE of Montana; Mrs. Helen ROLLINS of Brooklyn, N.Y., and Bruce S. RATCLIFF of this city.

The remains were laid to rest this afternoon in the family lot in Evergreen cemetery (sic - Old Fairfield City Cemetery).
