ALBERY RITES TOMORROW AFTERNOON AT 2:30 O'CLOCK
Scores Of Friends Pass Bier Of Late District Attorney At His Home Today
Tribute of a deeply grieved county tomorrow afternoon will be paid the late District Attorney Harmon M. Albery, whose body lay in a flower-banked bier at his home, Seventh and Jay streets, today. Throughout the day scores of friends of the deceased called at the Albery home to express their profound sympathy for members of the stricken family and to gaze, perhaps, for a last time on the face of the brilliant young prosecutor whose death resulted from a series of operations made necessary by a malignant growth.
A change in the hour of the funeral services, to be held at the Albery home, was announced today. Instead of 2 o'clock, as announced yesterday, the funeral will be held at 2:30 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, the Rev. Tom Watt of Berkeley, formerly of Williams, assisted by Rev. E. T. Nesbit, of Colusa, officiating.
As has already been announced, the pallbearers will be Temple Crane, W. D. DeJarnatt, George Messick, Max Yerxa, J. G. Kammerer, and J. L. O'Rourke, all close friends of the deceased, several of whom were his fellow members of the Colusa Gun Club, of which Albery was president. Albery was president of the club for ten years.
The body of the late district attorney arrived in Williams last night and was escorted to Colusa by a group of Native Sons of Colusa parlor, of which Albery was an esteemed member. Members of the family also arrived in Williams on the same train.
The death of Harmon Albery recalls his success in this county as district attorney. He was a man of sterling character and was spoken of by all who knew him, especially county officials, as a brilliant young lawyer with a future few might hope to attain.
When he was appointed to the district attorney's office in 1923 to fill the unexpired term of C. K. Atran, resigned, the board of supervisors made a unanimous selection of Mr. Albery, who had made no solicitation whatever of the important county office.
For some six or seven years after the death of his father, the late Judge H. M. Albery, which occured in 1915, the deceased was a member of the law firm of Brown & Albery. The firm was dissolved on his appointment as district attorney.
