Funeral Service For
Henry Harris To-
morrow
--------------

Mrs. Harris has notified friends here that she is bringing the body of her husband from Olustee, Oklahoma, where he died on Thursday of last week, to their home in Marshalltown for burial. Funeral services will be held at the Purcell Chapel in Marshalltown at 3:00 tomorrow afternoon. Mrs. Harris before her marriage was Miss Ella Frahm.

Mrs. Harris received a wire from Olustee, Okla. Thursday of last week that Mr. Harris had died very suddenly in the lobby of the hotel there, in company with her eight year old daughter Helen and her friend Miss Ruth Heidelbaugh. Mrs. Harris started at once for the south. Mr. Harris has relatives in Oklahoma.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Harris were formerly in the employ of the Spaulding Mfg. Co. and for a time made their home in Oklahoma. Later they spent some time in California. About a year ago they returned from California and established their home in Marshalltown, although Mr. Harris continued to travel in the south. He was on a business trip at the time of his death. Mrs. Harris is a daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Frahm, formerly of Grinnell, now living in Marshalltown.

This is the second tragedy in this family within a few weeks. Less than two months ago George Doyen, husband of Mrs. Harris' sister, formerly Kate Frahm, was found dead in an auto on the highway.
