Lima Daily News, July 31, 1917 Abram HARROD, died this morning at 4:15 o'clock, at the home of his granddaughter, Mrs. R.T. KUHNS, 748 west High street. His death was caused from paralysis from which he has suffered for the past five months. He was born in Mercer county, April 27, 1850 and at the time of his demise, he had reached the age of 67 years. Previous to his illness he had occupied a position as a traveling salesman with a prominent firm, which position he held for a number of years. At one time he was county recorder for Allen county and will be remembered by a large number of friends.

Mere words are too weak to portray the full height and depth, and length and breadth of the feelings that engulf his kin and friends at this time. Indeed a prince in every sense of the term, faithful, loyal and sincere. He loved his family; he was charitable towards the faults of others, but uncompromising in his personal standards of purity and honor. Truly an honest, faithful servant has gone to his eternal reward.
