OBITUARY
The Rochester Sentinel
Tuesday, January 6, 1942
Harvey ARTER, 50 years old, prominent citizen of Akron, died this morning about six o'clock at the Woodlawn hospital, this city, from a concussion of the brain, suffered in a fall from a fire truck in Akron last night.
Arter, who is fire chief of the Akron fire department, was among the volunteers who answered a call at 8:30 last night to a combined grocery and furniture store in Akron, owned by Irvin McHATTON. Arter was riding on the rear end of the truck and when it stopped suddenly at the scene of the fire, he was thrown from the vehicle and alighted on his head.
He was taken immediately to an Akron physician's office, where first aid was administered, and then removed to the hospital here.
Harvey, son of John and Anna ARTER, was born in Akron in 1891 and had lived in that community his entire life. He was united in marriage 28 years ago to Helen STUDEBAKER, who survives. Mr. Arter operated a variety store in Akron and was prominent in all civic affairs. He was well known throughout the county and his sudden death came as a shock to the entire community.
The deceased was a member of the Akron Methodist church, Modern Woodmen of America and the Akron Masonic lodge.
Survivors are the wife and mother; one daughter, Elizabeth ARTER, at home; two sisters, Mrs. Charles JUDD, Elkhart, Mrs. John LaRUE, Urbana, Ind.; two brothers, Ralph ARTER, South Bend; and Earl ARTER, Akron.
Funeral arrangements, as yet incomplete, will be announced in an early issue of The News-Sentinel. The body has been taken to the Moyer funeral home in Akron.
