Born Feb. 26, 1903, in Center [sic, recte Centre] County, Pa., to George A. and Kathryn (nee Luce) Zerby, he passed away peacefully, Friday, Jan. 22, 2000, at Centegra Memorial Hospital in Woodstock. Burial will be in Kaneville Cemetery.
When he was a young boy, Harry's family moved to Mississippi and then to Michigan for a time, before settling in Illinois.

From 1926 to 1968, Harry was employed by Northern Illinois Gas.
Beginning as a fireman, keeping the company's huge gas-producing furnaces running day and night, he later worked as a maintenance man at the pumping stations as well.
Surviving are his daughter, Barbara (Gordon) Roesslein of Woodstock; grandsons, Steven Roesslein of Oklahoma City, Okla., and Jeffrey (Tina) Roesslein of Lake in the Hills; nieces, Marion (Ralph) Grivetti of McNabb, Ill., and Betty L. Jones of Freeport; and nephew, Robert (Martha) Zerby of Kaneville.
In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Doris Zerby, in 1996; and brothers, Roy, Milton and John Zerby, along with two brothers in infancy.
