Brubaker, in this city last Saturday morning at 1:45 a.m., aged, twenty-eight years. Harry Brubaker was born in Polo, Ill., April 19, 1870, and came with his parents to Anthony in 1878. As school boy and young man he gave promise of a splendid manhood, and his relatives and friends were never disappointed in him. Some six years ago he left Anthony and went to Dixon, Illinois, where he made his home with his uncle, D. M. FAHRNEY and while there was employed as bookkeeper by the J.H. Morris & Son's wholesale company. He was one of their most efficient men and a trusted employe, and was popular with all of the employes of the house, and his smany friends and acquaintances in Dixon. Harry had not been in the best of health for some time, but his relatives and employers thought he was working too hare, and a visit home and a vacation was planned in hopes that he would be benefitted. He failed rapidly, and it was realized that he had almost without warning became a victim of quick consumption. He came home about ten days ago, but rallied but little and Sunday, a w! eek ago, he went to bed, and the worst was only a question of time. Careful nursing by mother, father, sister and brother only made his last hours brighter and more comfortable, but were powerless against the dread disease, and early Saturday morning he peacefully died. The funeral was held at the Christian church Monday afternoon conducted by Elder McLain and the interment was in Forest Park cemetery. harry had many warm friends in Anthony, and his sudden death was a severe shock to them. One of the best tributes to his worth came from his employers before his death, in a letter to his father, and they unhesitatingly testified to his honesty, efficiency and general good character, and spoke of him more as a trusted friend than an employe. The many friends of the family in Harper county join with us in expressing our sincere sympathy to them in their sad bereavement.
