PITTSBURG MAN, 51, IS SURVIVED BY WIFE, SON, BROTHER AND SISTER

Funeral services for Glen Harbin of Pittsburg were conducted at the Burnett funeral home in Keosauqua at 2:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon by the Rev. C. A. Boulton. Burial was at the Harness cemetery at Mt. Sterling.

Mr. Harbin, who was 51 years old, died Saturday night after a long illness. He and Mrs. Harbin came to a farm near Pittsburg a few months ago from Chicago in the hope that a change of climate would be beneficial to his health.

Mr. Harbin was born in Nebraska. For many years he lived on the Walter Madden farm about six miles south of Keosauqua. About ten years ago the family moved to Lena, Ill., where they operated a hotel for a time and then went to Chicago, where Mr. Harbin worked in a rug factory.
