Dr. Moses R. Harp died Monday afternoon after an immediate illness of about a week. He was sitting in his chair engaged in conversation when the end came.

Dr. Harp was 81 years of age having been born May 11, 1830, in Georgia. When he reached manhood he began the practise of medicine, leaving his private practice when the war broke out to minister to the needs of the southern soldiers. He afterward became colonel of the 52d Georgia regiment and served throughout the war with distinction.

He was married December 23, 1851, and his helpmeet of sixty years survives him. The children of this union are, W. C. Harp, Bridgeport, Okla., P. A. Harp, Cowen, Tenn., Mrs. P. W. Cunningham and Mrs. J. E' Davis, of Weleetka.

Dr. Harp was also an elder of the Methodist church, and devoted his life to the service of God and man.

Funeral services were conducted from the Methodist church Tuesday afternoon. Rev. Harris paid an eloquent tribute to Dr. Harp, a tribute summed up in the simple words "He was a good man."
