Dr. Harms Passed Away
As the Review was ready to go to press Wednesday morning, the report came that Dr. J. H. Harms had died at 2:20 A. M. Dr. Harms had been bedfast since Friday and was taken to the Bethel Deaconess Hospital Sunday, where he passed away early this morning. He was 84 years old last September and lived here in retirement since he and his wife came to Newton from Cordell, Okla., several years ago.

text of obituary:
Perhaps few if any other of the Mennonite immigrants who came to America from Russia in 1874 took up medicine as a profession, as did the late Dr. John Henry Harms, — for 41 years the community physician, church and business leader in the Mennonite settlement at Cordell, Oklahoma. Besides taking care of the bodily ills of hundreds of patients in all these years, he also took an active interest in the welfare of the Sichar Mennonite church. His busy life did not keep him from taking time to counsel a friend or neighbor who came to him for advice.
Dr. Harms had the unusual experience to see three of his sons follow in their father's footsteps and also take up the medical profession.
