The funeral will occur tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon at 2 o'clock at his late residence. The services will be conducted by Rev. O.P. Paxon and Rev. Claude Travis, under the auspices of the Odd Fellows of Hillsdale. Mr. Harper was a kind and obliging neighbor, who had the good will and respect of everyone. He was honorable and upright in all his dealings with his fellow man. He was a good citizen in every particular, and death will be a severe loss to the church and neighborhood. His character was above reproach. His good wife and children have our deepest sympathy in their sad affliction.
