In loving Memory of Harley Dean. Harley Dean was born Aug. 12, 1908; departed this life Oct. 14, 1946. He was born in Monroe Co. and has always made it his home. Harley was a person who won friends wherever he went. There is a vacancy in his home and community that can never be filled, for his cheerful smile is gone; but he will always be remembered by all his neighbors and friends.

Funeral services were conducted on the lawn of his home by Rev. Taylor, pastor of the Little Toqua Church. Burial was in the cemetery nearby.

Dean; two brothers, Vincent of Vonore, and Johnnie of Knoxville; four sisters, Mrs. Grant Moser and Mrs. Roy Gentry of Vonore, Mrs. Johnnie Kirkland of Ohio, and a host of other relatives and friends.
