HARMON, EDDA M. & INFANT
(12 Feb 1920, Cheyenne Star, Cheyenne, Roger Mills Co, OK):
Last Tuesday morning Mrs. James Harmon passed into that Great Beyond at
the age of forty-four years, after a few days illness of Influenza which
resulted in complications of catarrhal pneumonia and other things. 
Skilled physicians were called in consultation and careful attention was
given but nothing could stay the call of the Reaper.
Mrs. Harmon was formerly Miss Eddie Redden, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.
C. Redden, who in an early day lived near old Streeter.  She was well
grown and loved and admired as a young woman.  Since her marriage she has
lived west of Cheyenne where she counted the entire number in the
neighborhood as her friends.  She was a kind and attentive neighbor ever
devoted to the task of ministering to others.
Mrs. Harmon leaves a husband and four children whose loss is irreparable. 
No one call fill the place held by the devoted wife and mother.  The
family tie is broken here but in that Great Beyond all may again be united
in one happy family.  Several children have preceded the mother into that
better world, one, an infant, was buried with her.
Mrs. Harmon also leaves three brothers, two sisters, and a mother who
greatly mourn her loss.  J. L Redden and Mrs. J. ? Stowe of Durham, Ray
Redden of near Hamburg, Mrs. Mitchell of Hinton, Okla., and Bert Redden
who lives in some of the western states, these with the mother whose home
is near Crawford are brought to realize the grief of the loss of a sister
and a daughter.
Mrs. Harmon had been a christian since she was thirteen years of age and
in passing from this life leaves with the loved ones the blessed hope of
the hereafter.
Funeral services were conducted at the Cheyenne cemetery by Bro. J. W.
Wilman.  A large crowd of friends and neighbors were present  to pay their
last tribute to one whom they loved.
The editor of the Star has known the Harmon family and the Redden's for
years and joins with their other friends in offering condolence and
sympathy.
