He died from food poison in Akron, Ohio, January 30th, 1920. He requested on his death bed that his remains be brought back to Whigham, so they were. Rev. N. G. Christopher, performed the funeral services. Although young, Mr. Harrell was not a member of any church, but fully conscious from the time he was stricken that he was going to die; he told his mother and young wife who were at his bedside that he had been living for several months a Christian life. They sang two sacred songs, one which was "In the Sweet Bye and Bye." He also asked his mother and wife to pray for him and said that he was praying. The highest respect was shown this young man and his family relations. High school students and many other friends by beautiful floral offerings. This young man was just budding into manhood when the Angel of Death called him to his eternal home. We can never understand why he was so suddenly taken from his loved ones, but God in His infinite wisdom, makes no mistakes and whatever he does is always for the best. "Oh these parting scenes will end, Some sweet day bye and bye; We shall gather, friend with friend Some sweet day bye and bye; There before our Father's throne, When the mists and clouds have flown, We shall know as we are known Some sweet day bye and bye."
