The Farmers' Vindicator, Friday, 6 September 1918 OBITUARY–WOOD Harry Leo
Wood was born in Jefferson county, Kansas, March 22, 1894; and died at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. S. Wood in the Woodville district near where he was born, August 29, 1918, aged 24 years, 5 months and 7 days, after an illness of eight months, contracted at Camp Travis, Texas, last Christmas, after four months training there.
For two months he was confined in the hospital with a complication of diseases, and was finally discharged on accounty of physical disability, and was brought home by his father last April, hoping that a return to the old farm where he was raised would help restore him to health and strength again. The cause of his death was given as heart valvular insufficiency and disease of the liver.
A dear son and brother, who cheerfully answered the call in defense of liberty, has made the supreme sacrifice and is now at rest.
Leo is survived by his parents, 4 sisters and 4 brothers: Mrs. Ed James of Oklahoma; Walter of Valley Falls; Mrs. John Meredith of Pueblo, Colorado; Curtis at Camp Funston; Rose, Jesse, Elmer and Marie, who are at home with their parents, who have the sympathy of many relatives and friends.
The funeral was held from the Methodist church Saturday at noon, Rev. C. E. Holcombe conducting the solemn services in the presence of many relatives and friends. The music was furnished by the Kendall-Legler quartette. The burial was in the Farrar cemetery.
