DEATHS, HARROD
Mrs. Mary Ann HARROD, a highly honored pioneer
woman of Cowley County since the early days,
died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Will H.
HUDSON, 1402 Manning Street, Friday morning
at five o'clock after a lingering illness of
several months duration. Mrs. HARROD lived an
exemplary life and was loved by all who knew her
and her death will be keenly felt by both old
and young. She was always affable and her
attractive smile with which she greeted friends
reflected truly her warm and sympathetic heart.
She was a lovely christian character of the old
fashioned type of wife and mother. She was a
faithful adherant to the Lutheran faith from
early life to her passing from earthly home to
her heavenly reward. A large circle of loyal
friends whose attachment has been the growth
of years will long remember "Grandma Harrod."
Mary Ann HUTTO was b in Kokomo, Ind. July 25,1831
{obit error, b 1840} and was 87 years, six months
and nineteen days old.
She was m to Benjamin F. HARROD in 1856 and
to this union were born nine children, seven
preceeding her in death. Mr. HARROD died ten
years ago. Two children, Thomas H. HARROD and
Mrs. W.H. HUDSON survive, and one sister, Mrs.
Kate CAMPBELL of Kokomo, Ind. In 1869, Mr & Mrs
HARROD moved to Kansas,locating on a farm near
Tisdale. Abt 36 years ago they moved to Winfield
where Mrs. HARROD resided until death. The funeral
will be held from the HUDSON home Saturday morning
at ten o'clock, conducted by the Rev. E.W. LUECKE,
pastor of the Baden Memorial Lutheran Church.

Tom H. HARROD Passes, Venerable Pioneer Dies
at Daughter's Home of Pneumonia

Tom HARROD, venerable Winfield and Cowley Co.
pioneer died at the home of his daughter, Mrs.
J. Ernest MORRIS, at 5:30 Sunday morning. His
death was attributed to pneumonia and diabetes.
Had MR. HARROD lived until February 6 he would've
celebrated his eightieth birthday.
Thomas H. HARROD was b Feb 6, 1858 at Kokomo,Ind.
In 1868, Mr. HARROD migrated to Kansas with his
family and settled on a farm near Tisdale.
Shortly before his death, he and his wife had been
living on the same farm. He came into Winfield abt
two weeks ago when suffering with a severe cold
which later led to the fatal attack of pneumonia.

Came here in 1878

For ten years after arriving in Kansas, MR. HARROD
continued living on the farm and then moved to
Winfield. Mr. HARROD's first venture outside of
farming was as undersheriff of Cowley Co., which
office he filled for six years. Early in the
nineties Mr. HARROD began his work in real estate
around Winfield. About 1888, Mr. HARROD and the
late J.W. HANLEN entered into a real estate;
that partnership continued for some 30 years,
being dissolved at the time Mr. HANLEN retired.
The offices were located in the First National
Bank building, in three rooms on the first floor
of the building. The firm was considered one of
the most prosperous and one of the most dependable
businesses of the community in the early twentieth
century. After the retirement of MR. HANLEN his
shares were sold and since Sept 1, 1926-when
Earl HARTLEY bought part interest in the firm-
the old HARROD-HANLEN has been known as the
HARROD-HARTLEY Investment Company. Mr. HARROD was
a member of the Winfield County Commission at
the time the electric light plant was purchased.

Saw Winfield Develop
In his business activities, Mr. HARROD has
witnessed the growth of this city from a small
village. As a boy of ten he made trips into
town on rare occasions, but often enough to
watch the city grow. When a young man he moved
into the town and was closer to its developments.
His activities in the real estate sales of the
community kept him in close contact with the
city's life. His political interests-as county
undersheriff and city commisioner-added even more
to his interests in the city's welfare. The HARROD
family life, too, was one closely connected
with the city. On Feb 19, 1885, T.H. HARROD was
married to Fannie E. MABEE, who survives. To
this union two children were born, Nina (Harrod)
MORRIS, of this city and Le Roy of Los Angeles.
In Winfield the HARROD family home was at 1202
Millington, the present home of the daughter
and her family. The daughter has two children-
Ernestine and James-who are the only grand
children of Mr. HARROD. This family is prominent
in musical circles of the city. Mrs. MORRIS
and her daughter appear frequently on programs
and Mrs. MORRIS is one of the local piano and
vocal instructors. Funeral services for Mr. HARROD
will be held Tuesday afternoon at 3:00 in the
First Presbyterian Church. Burial will be in
Union Cemetery. Mrs W.H. HUDSON, sister of
Mr. HARROD, who resides in Los Angeles, will
arrive in Winfield Tuesday to be here for the
services. His son arrived here about a week ago
and with the daughter and wife was at the bedside
of his father when death occurred.
