Father Taken - Pheumonia proves fatal to J.M. Harter. Entire family sick.

James M. Harter, age 47 years, died at 5:30 p.m., Sunday evening at his home on 529 Wood Street. The Harter family has been sadly afflicted, the parents and the children suffering with the measles and pheumonia developed causing the father's death after a few days illness. The widow and mother is critically ill and her death is expected at any time, and the three children are also still sick. Mr. Harter had lived in Greenfield since last fall moving here from Jackson Township that the children might attend school while he looked after his fruit land in Michigan. He was expecting to move his family to Michigan at the close of the school term. The family formerly lived in Blue River township where they were highly respected as they were in this city and the Leamonus Corner neighborhood in Jackson township where they came from to this city. Mr Harter was a member of the Morristown Order of Red Men. On account of the critical illness of the mother, who has not been told of her husband's death, the body was removed to the home of his mother-in-law (Mrs. Hannah Binford), on Noble Street, where short services will be held at nine o'clock, Tuesday morning, with interment in Walnut Ridge.^[3]
