The Thomas County Democrat Thomas County Thursday March 31, 1887 Died.--On Wednesday evening, March 16, '87, after a prolonged illness of that dread disease, consumption; Oscar F. HARLAN, aged 28 yrs., 11 months and 27 dyas. He was born in Keokuk county, Ia., but later moved to Ringgold county, where he lived until two years ago when he came to Thomas county and settled upon a homestead, where he has been exercising every effort to make a comfortable home. How sad for a young man full of hope and ambition for a successufl future, to be cut off in the midst of them. He had, by his industrious habits and honest dealings, made friends of all who met him, and he has said that if he had an enemy in this world, he didn't know it. His brother, John Harlan, came a few days before his death to take him back to his home in Iowa, but he was too far gone to stand the trip. His parents survive him. The remains were interred in the Colby Cemetery last Friday.
