E. church, Sunday, November 26, at 2:30, conducted by Dr. A. E. Kirk, pastor, and Rev. A. N. Smith, a former pastor here and now of Lyons. The services at the grave were in charge of the Masonic lodge. The following obituary was read during the funeral services : Last Friday evening as the twilight and dusk was beginning to silhouette tall cottonwoods overhanging a quiet country home, the Grim Reaper passed over and took another of Sterling’s most beloved men to his eternity–a man who perhaps had nursed those mighty trees and watched them grow from saplings amid the rolling prairies. No doubt he loved them ver much, after having been with them for forty years, and realized and respected their worth.This same man loved his family so sincerely. In the year he was confined to his bed he showed great respect and admiration for those about him; if he had complaints he just let them pass. The noise of children, their loud voices and laughter even when he was very very weak, seemed to comfort him. He loved children very much, always placing great confidence in youth and in their ambitions and desires. Harry (Uncle Harry, as he was called by so many) was a man of excellent judgment, especially in economical and agricultural things. He knew good stock and appreciated their worth. He seemed to always love being around his stock, whether it be the chickens or the cattle. He seemed to love everything and enjoyed living each moment whether at work or at play. He was a member of the Blue Lodge, Chapter, Commandry, Shrine and Eastern Star. Here, too, he got so much out of his membership and always attended regularly when possible. Harry Arthur Dymond was born December 13, 1869, at Bellvue, Ohio, and died at Sterling, Kansas, November 24, 1933, at the age of 63 years, 11 months and 11 days. He was the oldest son of James and Bertha Dymond, who had come over from Devonshire, England together. With his parents he moved to Sterling in April, 1878, and settled on a farm four miles north and three and one half miles east of Sterling. On December 16, 1891, he was married to Minnie L. Gibson and they started their married lives together at the same farm house where he died.Mr. Dymond leaves his devoted wife and a son Earl J., who so deeply mourn his passing; his sister, Mrs. Luetta Peters; a brother Zeno; a daughter-in-law, Lucetta; two granddaughters, Wilma and Norma Mae; a cousin, Ernest Dymond, all of Sterling; a niece, Lucille Wilson, living in Texas, and other relatives in the east, and a large host of friends, loyal friends, respectful neighbors and sincere Masonic brothers.The pall bearers were C.
