Two Obituaries of Harry C. Everitt

From the Sussex Independent, of Friday, February 22, 1907, as transcribed by Cathy DiPietro

The sad news came on Sunday morning that Harry Everitt, of Montague, had died at 4 o'clock that morning. He had been in ill health for a long period, but not considered as dangerously ill.

He was married in 1895 to Miss Maggie Bevan [sic] of Hainesville, and began housekeeping on the farm then owned by his father, the late Daniel D. Everitt. He was a young man of correct habits, and highly esteemed in that community.

He is survived by his widow and two small children, also one brother, John, of Montague, and two sisters, Mary, wife of Alfred Struble, of Branchville, and Anna, wife of John Wood, of Port Jervis.
