Harry Greenway Murdered

A dispatch from Jacksonville, Fla., to the Baltimore Sun of Saturday last, gives the particulars of the murder at that place of Mr. Harry Greenway, formerly of this county.

The dispatch says that last Friday morning, in Lavelle, a suburb of Jacksonville, a little boy driving a bread wagon when his horse shied violently and the little fellow on looking for the cause of the animal's fright was horrified at seeing the form of a well dressed white white man, who afterwards identified as Harry Hoke Greenway, a civil engineer in the employ of the Pittsburg Lumber Company, and formerly a resident of Harford county, Md. The body was lying in the road with an ugly gash on the head. ...

A physician was sent for, and the young man was carried to the County Hospital, where an examination was made, and it was found that he had sustained a compound fracture of the skull from a blow of some heavy instrument, part of the skull resting on the brain and producing insensibility. Death ensued at 2 o'clock.

...

Mr. Harry H. Greenway was a son of Mr. J. Henry Greenway, who lives at Hokeland Farm near Havre de Grace. His brothers are Wilton Greenway, who lives at the same place, and Eugene Greenway of Baltimore. Mr. Wm. H. Greenway , of Baltimore is his cousin. Col. Herman Stump and Mrs. P. Griffith, of Bel Air, are also his relatives. He was 34 years of age, and unmarried, and was born in New York. He spent his childhood at Hokeland Farm, which is an old property of his mother's family, she having been Miss Kate Hoke. A part of his education was received at the Maryland Agricultural College, and he subsequently studied civil engineering. He was engaged in Baltimore at one time with his father in the commission business, bur preferring an outdoor life, he followed engineering, which better suited his tastes. He was engaged in making surveys for railroads, and he left Baltimore for Florida two years ago for railroad work in that state.

Messrs. J. Henry Greenway and Eugene Greenway, the father and brother of the murdered young man, arrived in Jacksonville on Sunday. ...

...

The body arrived in Baltimore Tuesday night and was buried at Greenmount Cemetery Wednesday morning. ...
