— Friends in Newton were shocked to hear of the death of Dr. S. S. Haury at his home in Upland, Calif., Sunday evening. Miss Elsa Haury, instructor in voice at Bethel College, received the sad news Monday morning and left Monday afternoon for Upland accompanied by her uncle Daniel Haury of Halstead, a brother of the deceased. The funeral services will most probably be held tomorrow (Thursday, May 23). Dr. Haury is well known all over this part of the state, he having been a successful physician here for many years. Dr. Haury was also the pioneer Mennonite Missionary to the Indians in Oklahoma. He was 81 years old last fall.
Besides his daughter here, he leaves his wife and three other daughters. They are Mrs. Jacob Quiring of Bluffton, Ohio, Miss Sue Haury of Granvville, Ohio and Mrs. Lyman Boynton of Rochester, New York.
