THOMAS, Harry

Weekly Journal-Miner (Prescott, Arizona) Wednesday, February 8, 1922, p. 5 MILITARY SERVICES FOR DEAD VETERAN Military funeral services for Harry Thomas, world war veteran, who died at Whipple Barracks early Tuesday morning, will be held under the auspices of the New Kensington, Pa., post of the American Legion, and the body will be interred in the family burial ground there. A wire last night was sent by Ernest A. Love post of the legion here, requesting that representatives of the New Kensington post meet the body and accord it due military homage. Harry Thomas was a brother of Mrs. S. L. Beamer, who with F. J. Driscoll, Knights of Columbus secretary at Fort Whipple, early Tuesday morning fought her way through the snow from the home of Mrs. C. E. Ryckman, on East Gurley street, to Ward 10, in an effort to reach the dying man's side before the end. They arrived a few moments too late. Mrs. Ryckman, who has taken a deep interest in the ex-soldiers at Fort Whipple, was at the sick man's side all of Monday afternoon, and Mrs. Beamber was with her brother until 9 o'clock Monday night, when she returned to the Ryckman home to rest. She was called to her brother's side again shortly after midnight.
