Died in Los Angeles, Ca., July 22, Harry Clyde Saunders. Harry was born in Denver, Mo., April 12, 1878, making him at the time of his death 24 years, 3 months and 10 days old. About three years ago he left home to battle with the world for a living. Since then he has spent most of his time in the employ of the Electric Light Co., of Los Angeles. A dispatch brought the sad news to us the morning of the 23rd, that he had been killed and the supposition was that he had came in contact with a live electrical wire and the physician's certificate that accompanied the remains confirmed the supposition. Mrs. B. B. Gilleece, his mother, was still in Denver, Mo., where she had gone to bury her father whose death we noted a short time ago .... The mother on whom the blow fell so heavily that she was almost prostrated beyond recovery .... The body arrived Monday morning at eleven ... they started to the church and stopped at his home so that the mother, who was unable to attend the funeral, could take a last look at the features of her beautiful boy whom the hand of death had so ruthlessly snatched from her Remains of Harry to their last resting place the beautiful cemetery north of town ....
