THE LA HARPE ADVERTISER VOLUME 1. LA HARPE, ALLEN COUNTY, KANSAS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER, 12, 1920. NUMBER 6. Mrs. Rachel Gransberry The funeral services of Mrs.

Rachel Gransberry, who died Thursday morning. were held Friday afternoon at her home here at 3.30. In the persence of a few relatives and friends, Rev, Plummer of the Christian church paid the last tribute to her and her body was then taken too the LsHarpe Cemetrey where it was laid to rest. Mrs. Gransberry recently moved to LaHarpe but had made friends with all who had met her.

The Advertiser joins with these friends in sympathy with the relatives of the departed, OBITUARY Rachel Alderson born in Madison Wisconsin Dec. 27, 1856, and departed this life at La Harpe, Nov. 4, 1920, at the age of 63 years, 10 months and 7 days. She was united in marriage to L. H.

Gransberry in Exira, Iowa, on Nov. 5, 1894. To this union were born three children, two girls and one boy, the oldest girl dying in infancy. The family moved from their residence in Iowa to the State of Missouri in 1901, settling at Jerico Springs, where they lived for eighteen years. They then came to Kansas and settled at Pittsburg where they lived about two years, moving from there to their present rerident at La Harpe, and have resided there since early last fall.

Her death occured very suddenly from the cause of heart failure, being a sad shock to her relatives and friends. She united with the M. E. church when a young woman. She lost her eyesight fifteen years ago.

Although tnus afflicated she bore her affliction with a Christian spirit and forebearance. With the passing of Mrs. Gransberry we lost a devoted wife, a loving mother and a kind friend, one who was always patient and kind spoken to all she met, without the pleasure of sight in this world. But without her sense of sight she was always ready and willing to do what she could looking on the bright side of life Her departure will be felt by all who knew her. She leaves to mourn her loss a devoted husband, two children, Mrs.

John Eberhardt of this city and Irving James of Ponca City, two sisters and three brothers who reside in Wisconsin, and other numerous rela ives and friends. Funeral services were at home Nov. 5th by Rev. J. M.

Plummer of the Christian church She was laid to rest in the LaHarpe cemetery. Contributed Card of Thanks We desire to sincerely thank the neighbors and friends for their kind deeds and words of sympathy at the time of the death of our dear wife and mother. Mr. L. H.

Gransberry Mrs. J. W. Eberhard Irving Gransberry Mrs. Rachel Thomison Mr.

Lee local manager for the Blaker Lumber yard here, told us Monday that his sales during the month of October were the largest at this place for any one month for the past three years. The Blaker Lumber and Grain Co. is a firm believer of advertising, Mr. Pritchett their general manager has made a careful study of advertising and says "Printer's ink is the cheapest saleman they can employ." Our first issue six weeks ago contained a quarter page ad of the local yard here and there has been a good advertisement in every issue we have put out, altho we know that the yard here has a wide awake mananager in Mr. Lee we cannot help but think that the advertisements they run in this paper help him in making the record he did for the yard.

What Mr. Lee has done can be duplicated by any business man in this town by co-operating with us you furnish the goods, an ad in our paper will sell them. Birthday Party A birthday party was given at the home of Mrs. Maxson, Satur day afternoon in honor of their son. Master Reed Maxson's 7th.

One of the strangest things of the election at Parker Tuesday was the 290 votes cast for Loos for Justice of the peace, and Mr. Loos has been a resident of La Harpe for about two months We would call it a complimentary vote, -Message. We can not see anything so strange in the above.

Mr. Loos said he had been a resideut to Parker for 12 years before moving here and if he made Frsends during those 12 years as he has in the two months he has been here it is no wonder the whole city voted for him. Mr. Loos's Parker friends will have to give him up as a lost case as he told us he liked LaHrrpe fine.

Four teen new members, four from Moran, nine from La Harpe and one from Iola were given the degrees by the Iola teams.

The second degree team was tnen called but before they commenced their work, Mr.

The menu consisted of; Chicken Pie, Mashed Potatoes, Gravey Celery, Pickles, Pumpkin Pie, Cake Apples, Grapes, Coffee And was prepared as only Rebekahs know how to do and the boys certainly did justice to the feast. Past Grand Master, Roy Foster, expressed the sentiments of the crowd with a few chosen remarks. After supper the remaining two degrees were put on and at a late hour the candidates were allowed to depart feeling good that they had been allowed to join with the Encampment here. A large class is being raised by Iola aad on Deember 11 the degree work, both in the Subordinate and Encampment will be put on by teams from Kansas City.

They extend an invitation to all other lodges to bring their candidates over to Iola on that date and they would show them a good time. An effort will be made to secure candidats to be taken by the local lodges here.

Later they were very successful in retuning their instrument and getting "'the dope" as it was from Mare Island on the Pacific coast. The boys are to be congratulated upon their signal success in installing and operation 8 radio station. They have nounced their intention of improving it and in a short time will learn more of the world's news by radio. -Humboldt Union HIGH SCHOOL NOTES La Harpe has not defeated the Humboldt foot ball team since 1910.
