PHILLIP FRANCIS HARLOW.
On last Friday afternoon at about 5 o'clock a runaway accident
occurred near Loyal that resulted in the death of Phillip Harlow
and injury to his grandfather Phillip White. They were returning
home after doing a little trading in the village when they met an
old friend of Mr. White, Hans Schmidt, who raised the stick he was
carrying in greeting them. The team became frightened and
unmanageable finally throwing the occupants out of the buggy. The
younger one was run over across the temple killing him instantly
and his grandfather was pitched forward back of the horses breaking
his shoulder and injuring his back, Mr. White is almost prostrate
with grief over the accident but is entirely blameless in the
matter.
Phillip Francis Harlow was born May 7,
1898, and died June 21, 1912, at the age of 14 years, 1 month and
14 days. He was the oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. George Harlow,
former residents of Greenwood, Clark County, Wisconsin, but now of
Hannibal, Wisconsin. He was a loving conscientious boy, very much
endeared to his parents and those who knew him best. He was a
member of the First Presbyterian church of Hannibal for two years
and had not missed a Sunday at Sabbath School for three years. The
home he has left will be one of sorrow through the untimely
sacrifice of this youthful one. Funeral services were held at the
Presbyterian church Monday afternoon, Rev. W. T. Hendren
officiating. Burial was made in the Greenwood Cemetery.
