HARRY B. BOZARD
Seldom are we called upon to chronicle as sad a death as that which occurred last Saturday morning when Harry Bozard, our highly respected citizen and friend passed out from among us so suddenly. It was generally known he had benn suffering from a nervous trouble to the extent that he had given up business for the last eighteen months, and had suffered almost a complete breakdown for the past few weeks, yet he seemed better and on Tuesday, Feb. 15, had accepted a position with the Crown Drill Co. of Phelps, N.Y. Returning home Friday noon, he attended to some business matters and tried to do a few things about the little new home which was nearing completion and into which he and his wife had moved just one week before. From then on he suffered agonies until death relieved him of his pain.
Harry was born in Humphrey on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 27th, 1879, where he spent most of his boyhood, attending school in Allegany and Cook Academy.
He enlisted for service in the Spanish-American War, being a member of Company K, 26th Infantry Volunteers and re-enlisted for Philippine service, Trumpeter of Co. M., 13th Regular U.S. Infantry.
In February, 1901, he took up the line of work he followed all his life, beginning as salesman for the Bickford Huffman Drill Co., and as a reward for the greatest number of sales, was given charge of their exhibit at the Buffalo Exposition. He worked for the Superior Drill Co., which merged into the American Seeding Machine Co., and he became their general traveler, location at Lincoln, Nebr.
The nest few years he was in the employ of the Peters Cartridge Co., and the Western Cartridge Co., during which time he made some world records as a rifle, pistol and shotgun expert, giving exhibitions of fancy shooting in connection with his sales to the jobbing trade.
In 1910 he went to Minneapolis, Minn., and was designing engineer in the Experimental Department of the Monitor Drill CO., which position he held later with the LaCrosse Plow Co., LaCrosse, Wis., the David Bradley Co., at Kaukakee, Ill., and the International Harvester CO., located at Hamilton, Ontario.
He offered his services to the government during the World War and was refused, still he always felt and spoke often with much gratification, that in building grain drills he was doing his part in feeding the world.
About a year ago Mr. and Mrs. Bozard came back to Allegany where they had started life together, had interested themselves in the activities of the community, built a home and seemed to be getting where Harry could enjoy life.
He is survived by his wife, his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. A.L. Bozard; two brothers, Alphonso and Ralph; two sisters, Mrs. S.G. Hale and Mrs. Alfred Rehler, all of Allegany.
Mr. Bozard was a member of the Presbyterian Church and had been very active in the Sunday School and choir.
The funeral was held Tuesday, Feb. 21st, at 3 P.M. from the residence on Hannon Avenue.
Pall bearers were Harry Krampf, Clinton Smith, Wilford Allen, George Tucker, George Harbel and Harold Wiltse, members of the American Legion, who with the firing squad and bugler, escorted the remains to the Allegany cemetery, where burial with military honors was made in the family plot.
The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the bereaved wife and family.
