TWO MORE DEATHS SINCE FRIDAY

LOUIS BOSTON AND CHESTER HARRISON HAVE DIED SINCE LAST REPORT

Pneumonia has claimed two more young men in the community since our last issue, Louis Boston, who lived on the west side of Lynn street, corner First avenue south, and Chester Harrison, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Harrison of near Shipley having accounted to the dreaded disease. The Boston funeral was conducted yesterday and that of Harrison was held this afternoon.

Chester Harrison Died.

Chester Harrison, son of Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Harrison of west of Shipley died of pneumonia Friday night about 11:00 after an illness of less than a week. His two brothers, Orville and Marion, are but just recovering from the disease and were unable to attend the funeral.

Chester Harrison was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Harrison and was born of a farm south of this city on December 29, 1893. He had always worked at home with his father who is extensive grain farmer and was a young man of industry and many admirable characteristics..

He leaves besides his parents, two brothers, they being Orville and Marriott. One married sister, Mrs. Clara Glasgow, died about two years ago, while three other children of the family died when they were real young. The mother's name was Ruella Myers.

The funeral services were held from the home this afternoon at 2:00 after which the body was brought to this city for interment in the Nevada cemetery.

The family will be extended the most profound sympathy of their wide circle of friends both in that neighborhood in which they lived but in Nevada as well, where they as well as the deceased, are well known and have many warm personal friends.
