    Clarence Harlow, son of Postmaster A. Harlow, a bright young man 23 years old, died at the home of his father on Sunday night at 10:15 p.m. of Consumption of the bowel's. He had been a sufferer for a long time and though every effert was exhausted, he found no relief except in death.
    Clarence was a good boy and was esteemed by many friends who mourn his loss and extend condolence to the bereaved family. Funeral services at Presbyterian church this (Wednesday) afternoon at 2:00, conducted by Rev. C. O. Shirey.

    Clarence Harlow was born at Paris Crossing this county, Sept. 15th, 1875. While a small child his parents removed to Vernon where the rest of his short life was spent. It is needless to eulogize him, as his life was spent here among us and all of us know him to be a young man of exemplary habits. A friend to one and all and one whose every action was for the upbuilding of those about him. He graduated at the High School here in the class of 1893, after which he successfully taught school for a period of three years. His health failed him and he was forced to abandon his work. For the past 18 months he has been in the Post Office with his father. The last six months of his life was one of untold suffering but with his indomitable will he never gave up untill Jan. 18th, when he was forced to take his bed. He died on Sabbath evening Feb. 5th. perfectly resigned and trusting in his God. His last words were "I am alright."
