funeral of his only brother, Roy E

6, at $50 a. m, after ar illness of not
more than four hours, and was buried
at Bags on Saturday by the Woodmen
Of the World of that city, of which
camp he was a member and in which
order he carried $4,000 insurance. He
leaves an aged father, a young wife, a
sister, Mrs. Edith Flynn, of Columbia,
Neb, and a brother, b. j. Harnish, OF
this city. His mother was gored to
death by a bull just a year ago, almost
to a day. Mrs. Harnish, his wife, is
now with her parents at Bags, where
she will remain for the present.
Mr.. Harnish was born at Ventura,
Mich, December 90, 1877, but came
west with his parents when he was a
small boy. The family lived at Chey-
enne for several years, going from
there to the Muddy river, thirty miles
from Bags, where the elder Harnish
engaged in ranching and where the
young man was married and had
bought a ranch for himself. He was
getting along nicely, had a nice field
under cultivation and a day or two be-
fore his death he took his wife to
Bags to her mothers, where she eX-
poets to be confined of their only child.
Mr.. Harnish was cheerful and happy
down to bedtime of the night of the
5th, retiring and at once going to
sleep. Between 2 and 8 o'clock in the
morning he was taken i'll with con.
gestion Of the lungs and died at $50.
The funeral was attended by almost
every resident of Bags, being held
under the auspices of the Woodmen
of the World on Saturday.
Mr.. Harnish had never lived in Lar
annie, but he has often passed through
the city, stopping to visit his broth
er, B. j., who is an engineer on the
Union Pacific. He was quite well
known in Cheyenne and at Rawlins.
The Harnish ranch is located thirty
miles from Bags, the father and the
Laramie brother driving from that
place to Wamsutter, the nearest rail-
road station, yesterday.
The sympathy of a large number Of
friends will be extended to the young
wife, and aged father and the brother
and sister Of the deceased, particular,
ly to the wife, whose loss is very Sc
we're, considering all the circum,
stances.
