Death of Dee T. Harris.
Dee T. Harris, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Harris, died last evening at 8 o'clock, at the home of his aunt, Mrs. Florence McAffee. Mr. Harris had been ill for about six or seven years with locomotor ataxia, gradually growing worse and for several weeks his condition had been hopeless. During all his illness he had been a most patient sufferer and just as long he was able kept up his work. For a number of years he was an engineer and later was employed as clerk in the C., M. & St. P. round-house and was a most faithful employe.
Besides his parents, he is survived by a sister, Mrs. Florence Harris Gilmore, of this city, and a brother, Bert Harris of Garwin, Okla.
The funeral services will be held Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the McAfee residence on East Eighth avenue. A request is made that no flowers be sent.
