OBITUARY:
Old Pioneer Dies at the Age of 82.
Lafayette Harpole, better known as Fleck, died Tuesday, July 11, 1916, at the old home place near Brooks.
He was born in Illinois Jan. 26, 1834, and crossed the plains in 1851 and settled on the place where he lived and met his death. He leaves one son, William W. Harpole, and two sisters, Mrs. Nancy Hagey of Hilgard, Mrs. Susan Shaffer of Cottage Grove, and many other relatives.
By honesty and industry he had accumulated a fine rance and other property, and was ever ready to assist a friend or neighbor. He seemed to have enjoyed very good heath for one of his age, as he was able to be about and always cheerful, and was only confined to his bed for a few days, but he had been a sufferer for a long time.
The funeral took place at the old family home near Brooks Thursday July 13th at 2 o'clock p. m. and burial was at the Pioneer cemetery.
