Miami Union

November 16, 1911 

HIGGINS, HARRY - Harry Higgins, who for many years has resided in the west, died at the home of his father, Samuel Higgins, one-half mile south of Kirkwood, at 8 o'clock Monday morning.  Mr. Higgins had been ailing in health for some months and traveled over the states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho, in a vain quest for recovery and two weeks ago returned to his parent's home with his wife and two sons.  He seemed to get no better and Monday morning suffered a stroke of apoplexy which put an end to his sufferings.  Twenty-three years ago Mr. Higgins determined to try his fortunes in the west.  He has operated a warehouse and elevator at Bobell, South Dakota for several years.  Thirteen years ago Mr. Higgins was wedded to a western girl.  To this union were born two sons, Howard and Ralph.  The entire family was present at the death bed.  The deceased was forty-three years of age.
