OF 81 YEARS
MOURNING HARDING
Fellow Worker on Marion Star
Now Is Over 70 Years Old
~ The Associated Press.


Marion. o.. Aug. 9.-As the funeral
cortege of the late President Harding
today passed the office OF the Marion
Star, where the chief executive spent
the best years of his life, building a
newspaper of kindness and con-
sideration OF folks" and where he
was known only as wv. G." there
was one man above all others who
had heavy heart.
This man had been with Mr.. Hard
Ing for thirty-seven years, entering
lis employ shortly after he purchased
the Pebble--a tiny newspaper and
the first newspaper enterprise OF the
late chief executive. This man
Lewis Miller-had helped Mr.. Hard
Ing set type, wash the rollers of the
presses, sometimes collect a bad debt
for there were many in the early
days of The Pebble.
Mr.. Miller related how many times
wv. G." had called him into the
dingy office on the second floor of
small building still standing at the
corner of Center and State streets,
and say:
Lew, I haven't got enough money
to get the paper for this weeks
issue out of the office cit always
came c. o. D. on those days. can
you loan me your weeks salary?"
Mr.. Miller always was ready to
forego his weeks pay check in order
to help out the boss"
After the Pebble was merged into
the Star, Mr.. Miller continued in Mr..
Harding's employ and today is still
working on the Star although now
more than seventy years old. 1t was
Der 2, 1920, headed small delega-
ton of Star employees which called on
the president elect to congratulate
him and presented him with a gold
makeup rule.
Mr.. Harding. visibly affected by the
presentation started to express his
thanks, but halted, and only finished
with the assistance of a pocket hand
kerchief.
Fellow members of the Star" he
began. and choked and as tears
rolod down his cheeks, he began
again:
gether for many years. I know you
and you know me. and you know that
I wouldn't cheat your ! am about |
to be called to position of great re-
sponsibility. l have been on the |
square with all the world"
Turning to Mr.. Miller, he con-
tinued:
There is my old friend Miller, the
oldest employee on the Star. Thirty
six years we have been together and
sometimes those years have been
horny. Sometimes Miller has drawn
mis- pay that / had to borrow from my
,wn mother. Sometimes the next
I have had to borrow back
rom Miller the pay he drew the day
before.
Thank you for your call, Mr..
Harding said, and choked once more.
4 appreciate your coming more than
can tell you. Tomorrow or Thurs
lay hope to find time to come down
o the Star once more and greet you
III once again."
And the next day Mr.. Harding went
o the Star Office.
