ALBERT HARPOOL DEPARTS THIS LIFE

Albert L. Harpool of Hebron, prominent farmer and leader in community life, died at 1:10 Sunday afternoon of pneumonia. He leaves a wife, a son and two daughters to mourn his loss. Mrs. Raglin of Dallas, Miss Ruby and A. L. junior, the two later residing at home.
Deceased would have been 39, years old next July. He was a member of the Baptist church since he was 14 years old, and had always been active in church work and any other worthy enterprise of the community. He was a Sunday school teacher for eight years and was superintendent of the Baptist Sunday school at Hebron and conducted the school the Sunday previous to his death, having been sick but about four days.
He was married to Miss Jennie Cook 21 years ago, was one of the high officers in the Masonic lodge and a prominent Woodman; was well thought of by everybody and had a host host of close friends. Besides his own family he leaves a father, Charlie Harpool, and a mother, who live on the Harpool home place and a brother, Tom, who is in business at Hebron. The body was buried in the Frankfort cemetery, the local Masons having charge of the ceremony. The floral offerings were immense in point of quantity and exquisite in beauty. A large number of relatives and friends attended the funeral but the wife, mother and brother of the deceased were unable to attend, being sick with influenza at the time. Since then Tom Harpool is said to have developed pneumonia. Charles Harpool, the father, took his bed next day ill with influenza.
C. Cook and daughter of Ochiltree, Okla., father and sister of Mrs. Harpool arrived here a day too late, owing to the slow delivery of telegrams sent them.
Our sympathy goes out to the bereaved family. May the Great One above help them and lighten their burden.
