Ab Harrill Jr. was in the severe storm which swept the middle west last Wednesday and took a death toll of nearly 1,000 lives. His father, Dr. Ab Harrill of Patterson Springs section had not learned yesterday whether his son is living or dead. The youth was manager of ta chain store in Murfreesboro, Ill., which town was almost completely destroyed and where several hundred people were killed.
Parents and friends have felt no little concern over Ab Harrill Jr. and are making every effort to find out whether he escaped. Telephone and telegraph communications have been interrupted so it has been impossible to exchange messages with that city. Dr. Harrill was making another effort Monday afternoon to learn something as to his son’s fate in the storm.
