The entire community was shocked on Thursday morning when George H. Harrison Jr., aged 31 years, died suddenly from apoplexy and paralysis.
On rising from bed and preparing to dress, about seven o’clock, he had a slight attack of coughing and evidently feeling very ill he called for help. His wife rushed to his aid, seeing that his condition was serious, a doctor was summoned who arrived in a few minutes. Every remedy possible was used, but he died shortly after the doctor arrived. He lived only 20 minutes from the time he was taken ill and up to that time had been enjoying excellent health.
Funeral services and interment will be conducted from the Methodist Episcopal church by Rev. W.G. Lowe this afternoon at 3 o’clock. World War veterans will act as active pall-bearers.
