Harlan was reared and educated in

a devoted son and overly generous
with friends. During his young man.
hood he protested Christ and joined
Mt. Zion Baptist church; he was at
all times a staunch supper of religious
advancement and oftimes when op.

did much for a fallen brother.
Harlan's memory will ever be cher.

happy disposition. His big broad smile
will ever remain as a part of his

Hence we console ourselves by be.
lieying that,
Life evermore is fed by death,
In earth, in sea and sky,
And that a Rose may Breathe its
breath,
Something must die.
