Well Known Horse Buyer Passes Away at Bluffton, Thursday. Last Thursday evening, at Bluffton, occurred the death of Harry Witwer. He had been in that city about seven weeks, buying horses, and was sick only a few days. The immediate cause of his death was heart failure. His relatives in Pennsylvania were notified of his critical illness and one of his brothers arrived on Friday, and the next morning started with the remains to the former home of the deceased, at Lancaster, Pa., where interment took place. Mr. Witwer was well known in Warren, where he had made his home for the past twelve years and engaged in the business of buying and shipping horses. He was an excellent judge of horses, and exercised rare skill in buying. He was a clever, sociable gentleman and well liked by all who knew him. His age was forty-one last August. A mother, three brothers and two sisters are left to mourn his departure, besides many friends.
