Yakima, Wash.
January 20,1937.
Mr. J. H. Harris,
514 Woodbury Ave.,
Columbus, Ohio.
Dear Mr. Harris:-
I believe that you are the only living relative of my Step-Father Charles Harris, at least the only one that I know of.
It grieves me to advise you that he passed away last evening following a short stroke. He had been in very good health and got around very well for his age. He has complained for years about a pain in the back of his head which the doctors have told me was a weak blood vessel. This broke
during a choking spell last night.
I will bury him here in Yakima beside my Mother who passed away a year ago this last August.
If he does have any other relatives that you know of and any that could help in a financial way in the burial would you let me know. He did not leave a penney [sic] and l have been keeping him at my home since my Mother died.
Yours very truly,
{J. P. Wood}
