- Harry C. TRUMAN died in his
home at Lima Center, Monday at 4 p.m., due to
- heart failure following a 25 foot fall
from a barn roof on the George ROE farm last Thursday.
A hook, which held his ladder on the roof, broke, precipitating
him to the ground where he just missed a pile of stones. Several
stitches were required to close the cuts on his face. He seemed
to be improving Sunday and his recovery was anticipated.
- Harry Clark TRUMAN, youngest
and last of the family of four sons and two
- daughters of Orson and Adeline CHILD
TRUMAN, was born Dec. 6, 1880, in Rockford, Ill. The
family came to Lima when Harry was 17. He worked many years
as a carpenter but more recently as an electrician. On Aug.
16, 1923, he married Miss Mabel CRANDALL, Milton, who
died Oct. 15, 1928, leaving three daughters, Adeline (now Mrs.
Lloyd GIBSON of Port Hueneme, Calif.), Charlotte (who
has spent the past year near Adeline) and Gertrude who was 12
days old. On Nov. 30, 1933, Mr. TRUMAN married Mrs.
Maree CRANDALL BREYER, his first wife's sister.
- Survivors are his wife, three daughters,
a step-son, Joseph BREYER, and two
- grandsons, James and Desmond GIBSON.
The GIBSON family and Charlotte were looking forward
to a visit with the home folks and are believed to have started
by auto early this week not knowing of their father's accident
and subsequent death.
- Mr. TRUMAN was a devout Christian,
having become a Seventh-day Adventist
- about 50 years ago. He held offices
in the Milton Junction church many years and when a church was
organized in Whitewater he was asked to take charge, and then
transferred his membership there.
- Funeral arrangements are incomplete
awaiting the arrival of the children from
- California. According to present
plans, the service will be held in the United Bretheran church,
Lima, with Elder E. D. Calkins officiating, and burial will be
in Lima, with J. E. MARSHALL, Will MARSHALL, Earl
MARYOTT, Alvin NELSON, Jack HALE and Arthur
HARRIS acting as pallbearers. [Thursday edition, p.
