HAROLD E. WISSLER

Makes Brave Battle Against Ineyit-
able End-Buried in Mt. jackson
Well Known In Valley

Harold f. Wissler, twenty-seven
year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
L. Wissler, of "Strathmore, near
Mt Jackson, died at the home of his
parents Saturday night after lin
gering illness, during which he bore
his intense suffering with such forti-
tude and forbearance as to win for
him the sympathy and admiration of
his hosts of friends.
Mr.. Wissler's illness dates from
early last spring when he was strick-
en- with what at first was thought
to be appendicitis while on a bust
ness trip through sNorth Carolina.
He hurried home and was taken to
Winchester Memorial Hospital where
he underwent an operation. He left
the hospital in an apparently i'm
proved condition, but it was not long
before there was recurrence of the
malady and he was taken to a Bal
timore hospital for treatment
Several months ago he was taken
to his home at Strathmore where the
grim fight with death was renewed.
and for time it was thought his
was improving. Only his
courage aided in stay
ing the grim reaper, and he died in
comparative youth after heroic
fight.
He was a student at Shenandoah
Valley Academy, Winchester, Wood
berry Forest Academy and the Uni
versity of Virginia, and just before
being stricken he was a travelling
salesman for Proctor and Gamble,
soap manufacturers of Cincinnati,
o.
OF bright and CHEEKY disposition
he won and held friends and possess
ed those qualities which made the
world brighter that he lived.
Funeral services were held at
Strathmore Monday afternoon, con-
Quoted by Rev Francis A. Brown,
rector of the Episcopal church of
Mt. Jackson and Woodstock.
In addition to his parents, Mr.. I
is survived by an older bro
her, Frank E. Wissler, Jr., of Mount I
Jackson.
He was nephew of John L.
ST., of that place.

NOT OVER TOP
Benediction

1t was inadvertently stated in the
Herald that the Park drive was
over the top in Shenandoah County
when in truth the acres allotted to
the County were not fully subscribed
for.
The error was due to a report that
several of the magisterial districts
have gone over the top, but there
are others which thus far have not
come up to the number of acres
assigned them.
Shenandoah County is still in ar
rears, notably in Ashby and Lee
districts, the two districts in the
County nearest the proposed park,
and the two districts which will be
benefited most by the Park estab-
lishment.
Shenandoah County cannot afford
to lag nor fail to meet its quota. 1t
is hoped and anticipated that the re-
quired acres will be subscribed for.
