Untitled, undated article; probably from the Monroe Appeal. Extracted
from the newspaper article collection started in 1879 by Mrs. Nannie
Brown of Madison, Missouri.





"Dr. Harry Lightner died at his home in Madison, Saturday of
consumption. After funeral services conducted by Rev. Manness and the
Masonic fraternity, the remains were laid to rest in the family burying
ground at Holliday on Monday. This is one of the saddest deaths we have
chronicled in a long time - a talented, high-minded, popular young man
cut down on the very threshold of what promised to be an unusually
successful and useful life. But for the disease that caused his
untimely death, he would have been married to one of our sweetest and
most popular girls. The Appeal extends sympathy to the bereaved ones."
