                   HARRY L. WEST DIED YESTERDAY

     Well Known Citizen and a Former Shoe Merchant in Berkley Ward

Harry L. West, one of the best known citizens and shoe dealers in the ward for 
about fifteen years, died yesterday morning at 3:40 o'clock after a lingering 
illness from a complication of diseases.
On account of ill health Mr. West retired from business last summer and went to 
New York state for his health, where he underwent an operation.  For a while his 
condition improved, but soon turned for the worse and he continued to grow worse 
until the end.
Mr. West was a big hearted man and there were few men in the ward who made more 
friends.
He was 46 years old and was born in Portsmouth, but moved to Berkley ward with 
his people while a young man, where he had since resided. He was a member of the 
board of stewards of Memorial M.E. Church, having been a member of the church 
for many years.  He is survived by a widow and two children, two brothers and 
three sisters.
His wife is a daughter of Dr. Geo. H. Ray, of the Methodist conference.  Dr. Ray 
arrived here yesterday to attend the funeral, which will take place from 
Memorial M.E. Church this afternoon at 3 o'clock.  The services will be 
conducted by the pastor, Rev. T. McN. Simpson and the interment will be in 
Magnolia Cemetery.
