FORMER BLAIRITE DIED WEDNESDAY

Harley McMurtrie, formerly of this city, died at his home in Waukesha, Wisconsin at 7:30 Wednesday morning according to word sent to his sisters, Mrs. Chas. McComb and Mrs. Claude C. Van Deusen of this city.

Harley left Blair in 1895, and went to work for the Chicago and Milwaukee railroad. He continued in the employ of the railroad until about two years ago when he retired on pension.

While working for the railroad, he purchased a farm and he and his wife and daughter and son-in-law were residing on the farm at the time of his death.

Funeral rites will be held Saturday, and interment will be made in the cemetery at Waukesha.

Mrs. McComb left this week for Peoria, Illinois, where her daughter and son-in-law live, and they will go from there to be present at the funeral ceremonies.
