CITY SADDENED BY SUDDEN DEATH LOCAL CITIZEN
M. V. Harpole Stricken Suddenly and Died In Just a Few Hours — Was Shock To All.
WAS VERY POPULAR
As a citizen and businessman — Was a Man Who Loved All Kinds of Clean Sports.
Not within recent years has Winona been plunged into such sudden sorrow as on last Saturday morning when the news of the death of Mart Van Harpole became known.
Apparently hale and hearty Friday afternoon, Mr. Harpole attended a ball game, rooting for
the home team. He was an enthusiastic follower of all kinds of clean sports; he never let the opportunity slip to back, both, financially and with his presence any local sports.
He retired Saturday night complaining of a headache, but went to sleep without any outward signs of serious illness.
Early Saturday morning Mrs. Harpole was suddenly awakened, and discovered Mr. Harpole in a critical condition. Physicians were hurriedly summoned, but death followed in just a few hours after their arrival, the result of uremic poisoning.
Funeral services were held at the residence at 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. V. E. Boston, pastor of the Baptist Church, of which the deceased was a member. Interment took place at Oakwood cemetery and seldom has there ever been as many in attendance as gathered around the open grave on this occasion in mute testimony of the popularity of the man to whom they were paying their last respects.
Connected with the W. G. Baker Wholesale Grocery for the past 14 years, Mart Harpole was noted for his uniform courtesy, his genial disposition, his loyalty to his home town, his firm, and his home people. Old and young respected and loved him.
The deceased is survived by his widow, Mrs. Johnie Drane Harpole, and three children: Mrs. Elizabeth Bowen, M. Van Harpole. Jr. and Sarah Harpole. To those so suddenly bereft of husband and father The Times extends its heartfelt sympathy in the dark hours of their sorrow.
