MR. H. G. HARRINGTON,
PROMINENT ATTORNEY
DIES IN NORFOLK HOTEL

Mourning Friends Overflow the Church At Funeral
Last Saturday

      Lewiston, Dec 1 -- Attorney H. G. Harrington died suddenly in 
Norfolk early Friday morning, November 27.  He suffered a heart 
attack and died a few hours afterwards.  Mr Harrington was born in 
Bertie County in 1891.  He was a well known lawyer and business man, 
was a thirty-second degree Mason and a graduate of Wake Forest College. 
  The county will keenly feel his loss.  For a number of years he was 
manager of the Harrington Mfg. Co., at Lewiston, manufacturers of the 
Roanoke Peanut Pickers.

      Funeral services were held Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock, at the 
Baptist Church with Masonic honors, conducted by the Rev. H. F. Brinson 
and the Rev. R. C. Goodchild.  Interment followed in the Methodist 
Cemetery.  He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Lillian Nurney Harrington, 
and three sons, Harry, Stacy, and Horace, all of Lewiston; a number of 
brothers and sisters, and a host of friends throughout Bertie County.

         Attendance at the funeral services overflowed the church 
building and banks of beautiful floral offering from many friends, far 
and near over this section, covered casket and altar of the church, 
attesting the wide aquaintanceship his genial nature and prominent 
connections had made for him during his life.

      The bar of Bertie County, of which he was a prominent member, and 
county officials attended the funeral practically in a body.

      He was respected by all who knew him for his ability and 
accomplishments as a lawyer and a business leader.  Straightforward in 
his dealings and progressive in his attitude, he was a leader and 
supporter of every worthwhile cause, both in his own community and in 
county and sectional affairs, where his counsel and advice were always 
heard with respect.

      With his brothers, he had built the Harrington Manufacturing 
Company into one of the leading implement companies in this section, 
their Roanoke peanut picker being used wherever peanuts are grown.  As 
a lawyer, he had built up a large practice and had the confidence and 
respect of clients and the members of his profession alike.  Above all 
his accomplishments, however, his geniality, the joviality and good 
fellowship of his nature which won for him and held for him a host of 
friends, stood out characteristically.

      A special memorial sevice in his honor will be held Monday at 10 
o'clock during the session of General County Court.  Resolutions of 
respect and esteem will be read.  His family expected to be present at 
the.................(that is all I can read)
