Harry H. Gilfrey, 70, a resident of Arlington for fifty years, died suddenly Monday evening, October 16, in Arlington; it was learned in Blair Tuesday. Mr. Gilfrey, at the time of his sudden demise, was engaged in work at the Fred DeWeber home in that town.

By trade a plumber, Mr. Gilfrey in his half century in Arlington had acquired a reputation as an honest and upright citizen, and his passing was mourned by all who knew him. He was a member of the Arlington Woodman Camp.

Mr. Gilfrey is survived by his bereaved wife, whom he married August 26, 1892, one son, Rhea Gilfrey, of Omaha; one sister, Mrs. Mary Unland, of Hemet, California; two brothers, John and William Gilfrey of Snyder, Calif.; three grandchildren; and a large number of nephews and nieces.

Funeral services were held last Thursday afternoon at the Arlington Methodist church, with Rev. Ralph Rasmussen officiating. Rev. A. J. Edgar of Syracuse, a former pastor, assisted.

Burial was made in the Arlington cemetery by the side of his son, Dr. Ralph Gilfrey, who preceded his father in death by two years. Pallbearers were James P. Rhea and son, Don Rhea; William and John Gilfrey, brothers of the deceased; Wilfred Gilfrey, a nephew; and Harry Osterman.
