A dispatch received in the city today brought the sad intelligence of the death of Miss Clara Harmon, which occurred this morning at the sanitarium at Wauwatosa, the direct cause being pneumonia.
Miss Harmon was taken ill with bronchitis a few weeks ago and her father was summoned to her bedside, but almost immediately after his visit there Clara showed marked improvement and was believed to be on the road to recovery. The disease finally developed into pneumonia. however, and her father was again summoned to see her. He remained with her almost constantly from Sunday until the time of her death.
The sad news which came over the wires this morning has brought forth expressions of deep sympathy from friends of the grief-stricken family, and people who were not personally acquainted with Miss Harmon but knew her many noble dualities of heart and mind freely evinced their sorrow for Mr. Harmon's family and the intimate acquaintances of the deceased who are called upon to mourn the death of a young lady so universally loved and respected.
Clara Cordelia Harmon was a young lady of exceptionally bright intellect and studious energy whose work at school is favorable commentary upon her mental attainments, and it will be with feelings of commendable pride that her friends may reflect upon her career as a scholar and the bright pathway that led to a seemingly brilliant future
Socially she was a favorite and her presence in a company made her the center of attraction. It was while she attended the normal school that she is believed to have sown the seeds that afterwards led to her being taken to the northern hospital for treatment. A stay of some months at that institution resulted in a partial recovery of her health, but after remaining at home for a short time she was taken to Wauwatosa in the hope that treatment of three months or more at the sanitarium there would result in a permanent benefit.
Such, however, was not the case and the grim reaper has claimed another of earth's brightest flowers and taken to a better abode one whose life will ever remain fresh in the minds of those who knew her.
