Las Vegas Age - 11/9/1918


DIED



RIDDALL - In Goodsprings, Tuesday, November 5, 1918, Harold Knight

RIDDALL, aged 38 years, of influenza pneumonia.  The remains were brought to Las

Vegas to be prepared for shipment and were taken to Los Angeles Friday

morning by Fred A. HALL, Jr.  The funeral is set for Monday, Nov. 11.

    The deceased leaves a widow and two children.

    In the death of Harry RIDDALL, Clark county loses one of its best

known mining men.  It was Harry who first determined the presence of platinum in

the ores of the Boss Mine, and his knowledge and experience as a chemist

and metallurgist have been of inestimable value.

    Among his friends and associates he was loved and respected as are but

few men.  His kindly nature and never failing courtesy forged strong ties

of friendship.  In the Yellow Pine district, where he has long been an

important factor, his passing leaves a void in the hearts of all.  To

those who mourn, we express the deep sorrow and sympathy of the people of Clark

county.
