His wife had been summoned to his bedside on Tuesday afternoon, he having been taken suddenly worse following a gradual decline throughout his long illness. Frank Herbert Harker was born in Stanton township on February 15, 1883, and lived there until his parents removed to Merrill in the early 90's. When eight or nine years old he came to Le Mars to live with his grandmother, Mrs. Alice Harker, and made his home with her until Mrs. Harker's death. Frank attended the public schools in Le Mars and when quite a young man began working in a grocery store in which occupation he continued either as employee or proprietor until three years ago. He was married on October, 1909, to Miss Jennie Hodgson, who with one daughter, Harriet, survives him. In 1919 he sold out his business here and worked in Sioux City for a year. Three years ago he rented a farm south of town for two years and in March, 1922, moved to a farm near Washta. About this time his health failed and on May 2d, 1922, he went to the hospital at Cherokee for treatment. Frank was a genial and popular young business man and a kind and considerate husband and father and his affliction and death have brought sorrow to many who were his friends as well as those in the home he loved and cherished. He is survived by his wife and daughter, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. James T. Harker, of Merrill, two brothers, John, of Pennsylvania, and Charles, of Pennsylvania, and three sisters, Mrs. L. J. Walker, of Blunt, S. D., Mrs. Jas. Frost, of Thompson, Illinois, and Mrs. Clarence Miller, of Merrill. The funeral will be held at the First Methodist Episcopal church of which he had been a member since boyhood, at 2:30 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, with Rev. C. H. Seward, pastor of that church, in charge. Burial will be in the city cemetery and the services at the grave will be in charge of the Odd Fellows lodge, of which he was a member.
