DEMISE OF MRS. B. F. HARRY 

Mrs. B. F. Harry died last Saturday morning at the age of 62 years. She had been in feeble health for a long time, but her serious illness had been about three months. The cause of her death was cancer of the liver. 

Mr. and Mrs. Harry have been residents of Aberdeen a number of years and many friends extend to the bereaved husband their sincere sympathy. The funeral took place at the Baptist church last Tuesday afternoon, Rev. F. W. Cliffe officiating. 

Mrs. Harry was born in Morgan county, Ohio, on April 6, 1838, her parents being Rev. and Mrs. James Adams. She was married to B. F. Harry, May 24, 1857, their married life extending over forty-three years. Three brothers and a sister survive her, one of the brothers being Dr. Adams of Columbus, Ohio, another living in Morgan county in the same state, the third living at Hokah, Minn., and the sister living at Glouster, Ohio. To Mr. and Mrs. Harry three children were born, of whom one is Mrs. Ethel Fouts of Claremont, this county, and one, now deceased, Mrs. Mary Randolph, mother of Miss Winnie Randolph, the only son being Chas. W. Harry of Dubuque, Iowa.
