John H. Harmonson Dead

John H. Harmonson, well known citizen of Opelousas and chairman of the 
St. Landry parish exemption board, died Monday night and was buried Tuesday 
in the Catholic Cemetery at Opelousas.

Mr. Harmonson is said to have been in poor health for some time, though the 
attack from which he died occurred Saturday afternoon last.  As chairman of 
the exemption board he remained at his post to the last, saying "I have 
a duty to perform here."

Mr. Harmonson was one of the best known notaries and abstract men in 
Southwest Louisiana.  He was of pleasing address and widely and favorably 
known.  He had a host of friends here who regret his untimely death.
