Obituary

Harry Everett Marshall
- Our hearts are heavy with sorrow as we realize that for the second time one of our brave young men has been called to make the supreme sacrifice, and that Harry Everett, youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Marshall, has passed away at the naval hospital at Philadelphia, Penna., at 8:10 o'clock on Sunday morning, September 22nd, 1918. Harry had been sick with the influenza but had recovered and was about ready to leave the hospital when pneumonia seized upon him and cut short this young life.
- All his life had been spent in the parental home where he was born October 4th, 1896. On July 3rd of the present year he enlisted in the United States navy as a second-class seaman and on July 30th entered the service a the Great Lakes training station. After a short time there he was transferred to Philadelphia where his death occurred as above stated, he having attained to the age of 21 years, 11 months and 18 days.
- He was a member of the Masonic fraternity in De Soto and held a thirty-second degree membership in the Scottish Rite body at Lawrence. He was an obedient and loving son and had no habits that ever caused his parents to worry. He was kind and courteous to those around him and made warm friends of those with whom he associated.
The body arrived here Tuesday night and the funeral services, conducted by the Rev. M. U. Ramsberg, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, were held in the Christian church at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon, September 26, when a large number of relatives and friends gathered to pay a last tribute of respect to one they loved. The casket was covered with beautiful flowers in token of the esteem and love of many friends. The body was taken to the Silent City where it was laid to rest with the impressive ceremonies of the Masonic fraternity.
- To the parents, sister, betrothed, grandparents and other relatives we extend sincerest sympathy and commend them to that One whose strength never fails and who alone can comfort their sorrowing hearts.

"God has not promised skies ever blue,
Flower-strewn pathways always for you;
God has not promised clouds without rain,
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain;
But God has promised strength from above,
Unfailing sympathy, undying love."
