Was noting you were doing obits of the early 1950's and wondered of any record for that of Joseph B. Harris, rural CTH "E", Curtiss, Hoard Twp., whose dates were about 1883-1951. He died at his home and was buried at Medford.

He and Irving were batchelor farmers at Curtiss a considerable length of time; Irving's exact dates were 1890-early July 1973, and he died at and was buried at Medford.

Thank you.
