‘DR. HARMON PASSES AWAY
{\\'ell-l{n(m‘n and Popular Physician
~ Dies in Marshallville. Was Par
alyzed a Year or More.
Dr. Henry H. Harmon died on
Tuesday afternoon, August 4th., at
the home of his sister, Mrs. Eliza
Harrison, in Marshallville. There
are many who have enjoyed his
genial, original personality tc whom
the news of his passing will bring
genuine pain.
Dr. Harmon was a confederate vet
eran, a member of the vavis Rifles,
Twelfth Georgia Regiment, and
his comrades recall many instances
of the generous thoughtfulness,
kindly sympathy and wit that marked
his life as a soldier. His later life
as a physician bound to him the
strongest affection of all to whom he
brought relief from suffering, wheth
er young or old, rich or poor.
For years he practiced medicine
in south Georgia-—at Drayton, in
Dooly county; at Dawson, and at
Shellman, The latter place was his
home when his health failed a yvear
ago, a stroke of paralysis forcing
him to retire from active work. He
then returned to Marshallville, and
made his home with his sister, Mrs.
Eliza Harrison. All that medical
skill and loving hearts could suggest
was done for his recovery, hut the
disease gradually advanced until the
end came, and he peacefully fell
asleep. He is survived by two
sisters, Mrs. Harrison of Marshall
ville, and Mrs. Fanny Rawls of San
Antonio, Tex.
Dr. Harmon was buried with Ma
sonic honors, and beautiful floral
tributes attested the esteem in which
he was held.

While attempting to correct some

his plant at Plains Saturday Mr.

that the ends of all four fingers were

through the bone and flesh near the
knuckles, completely cutting off these
‘members and splitting open the
