The
whole community experienced a sense of loss when it learned Monday afternoon
that Harry Pipe had passed to his eternal home shortly before non on
Monday. Harry’s sunny disposition and
obliging nature had made him a prime favorite with his large circle of friends. His activity in the work of St. Mark’s church
and choir had made him almost a necessity to that organization and his loss
will be especially felt there. Harry
Pipe was born in Waupaca on the 9th day of May 1886 and has spent
his entire life here. He attended the
public school and was a great favorite with his classmates being always merry and one of the
foremost in games and sports of all kinds; at the same time he was a favorite

overcome the attack. He improved and
regained his strength so that in the fall of 1905 he reentered school and
graduated in June of 1906. The effort
and exertion necessary to do this however was ag reat strain on his
vitality and he again had to give up and take to life at the lakes. He returned to town last fall in good health
and was getting along nicely until about four weeks ago when he was attacked by
the Grippe. The malady was severe and
his constitution was so undermined that he could not throw it off but yielded
