Harry Clark Truman 1880-1947
"The Milton and Milton Junction Courier", Milton Junction, Wisconsin, Thursday, July 17, 1947, p 3.
Harry C. Truman died in his home at Lima Center, Monday at 4 p. m., due to heart failure following a 25 foot fall from a barn roof on the George Roe farm last Thursday. A hook, which held his ladder on the roof, broke, precipitating him to the ground where he just missed a pile of stones. Several stitches were required to close the cuts on his face. He seemed to be improving Sunday and his recovery was anticipated.
Harry Clark Truman, youngest and last of the family of four sons and two daughters of Orson and Adeline Child Truman, was born Dec. 6, 1880, in Rockford, Ill. The family came to Lima when Harry was 17. He worked many years as a carpenter but more recently as an electrician. On Aug. 16, 1923, He married Miss Mabel Crandall, Milton, who died Oct. 15, 1928, leaving three daughters, Adeline (now Mrs. Lloyd Gibson of Port Hueneme, Calif.), Charlotte (who has spent the past year near Adeline) and Gertrude who was 12 days old. On Nov. 30, 1933, Mr. Truman married Mrs. Maree Crandall Breyer, his first wife's sister.
Survivors are his wife, three daughters, a step-son, Joseph Breyer, and two grandsons, James and Desmond Gibson. The Gibson family and Charlotte were looking forward to a visit with the home folks and are believed to have started by auto early this week not knowing of their father's accident and subsequent death.
Mr. Truman was a devout Christian, having become a Seventh-day Adventist about 50 years ago. He held offices in the Milton Junction church many years and when a church was organized in Whitewater he was asked to take charge, and then transferred his membership there.
Funeral arrangements are incomplete awaiting the arrival of the children from California. According to present plans, the service will be held in the United Bretheran church, Lima, with Elder E. D. Calkins officiating, and burial will be in Lima, with J. E. Marshall, Will Marshall, Earl Maryott, Alvin Nelson, Jack Hale and Arthur Harris acting as pallbearers.
