Obituary:
Word reached here today of the death last night of Frederick D. Harris,
67, former resident of McKeesport and mechanical superintendent of
the Daily News.
Mr. Harris died at his home, 1746 S.W. Eleventh St., Miami, Fla. where
he had resided for 17 years. Death was due to a heart attack. He had not been in good health for almost a year.
Mr. Harris came to McKeesport from Brooklyn, N.Y. more than 40 years ago. He erected a printing press for the Daily News about 1898, when its plant was located at 508 Walnut St. A short time later accepted the position of pressman and linotype mechanic, having had experience in the Mergenthaler type-setting machine works in Brooklyn.
He remained in McKeesport until 1925, when he moved to Miami. After a year or so in the real estate business he became engaged as linotype machinist on the Miami Herald, which position he held until last June, when he became ill.
Mr. Harris was a member Masonic fraternities and of the printers' union.
He is survived by his wife Margaret Gross-Harris, daughter of the late
John Gross. Funeral services will be conducted in Miami.
