MRS. ERVINE HARLAND ASPHYXIATED IN HOME
Funeral Services to Be Held Here Sunday Afternoon

Mrs. Loca Harland, 44, wife of Ervine Harland, advertising salesman for the Times Republican, was found asphyxiated by gas in the kitchen of her home, 414 North Ninth Street, about 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon. The fire department was called and firemen worked over her for an hour with an inhalator but were unable to revive her. Mrs. Harland had been in ill health for a number of years, suffering from a complication of ailments, and had been virtually bed-fast since early last January. She had been born Loca Leota Lockard, daughter of T. E. and Ethel Lockard, at Whitten Oct. 11, 1894, and moved to Marshalltown with her parents when she was 13 years old. She lived here until her marriage to Mr. Harland June 21, 1916, and they lived in St. Cloud, Minn., two years, returning to Marshalltown in 1918 when Mr. Harland first became employed with the Times Republican. Besides Mr. Harland, she is survived by her father, T. E. Lockard, one brother, Leo Lockard, and her grandmother, Mrs. Jennie Lockard, 92, the latter three of Des Moines. Mr. Harland's sister, Mrs. E. J. Binney of St. Cloud, Minn., Mr. Binney and their two children will arrive here Saturday afternoon to attend the funeral which will be held at 3 p.m. Sunday at the Central Church of Christ here in charge of Rev. P. G. Dennis, pastor, assisted by Dr. F. F. Trevis, pastor of the First Methodist Church. The body will remain at Pursel Funeral Home until shortly before the service. Burial will be beside her mother in the Whitten cemetery.
