Fry, Casts Shadow of Gloom Over Large Circle of Friends Wednesday night at 9:35 o'clock the spirit of Rodney H. Fry passed into the great beyond from whose bourne no traveler ever returns. Ten days ago, Rodney Fry was in the best of health, but about the time he was seized with a severe cold which rapidly developed into pneumonia, which was the direct cause of his death. Mr. Fry, who was 47 years of age came originally from New York, and located in Las Cruces about fourteen years ago, coming here from Hillsboro. For a time he was deputy district court clerk and at the time of his death was city clerk. During his incumbency of the latter office he made many friends among those who found it necessary to consult with him. He was ever courteous, kindly and willing to lend a hand and we shall miss him. Mr. Fry is survived by his sister Mrs. Anna Fry Bonham, and a brother who remains in the east and who has been notified of this borther's demise. The funeral services were conducted at the house Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock, Rev. Foulks officiating. Interment - Odd Fellows cemetery. ____________________________________________ Marcena Dona Ana Co., NM
