Harley Webb Died at Creston Friday.
Harley Webb, the well known Leon auctioneer, died at Hotel Creston in Creston at 1:30 o'clock Friday afternoon. Mr. Webb had been sick for several weeks, suffering from an abcess on his leg and complications following an attack of the flu. He was taken to Creston last Thursday night to enter a hospital, but died before he could be moved from the hotel. His funeral was held at Creston, his parents residing a few miles from that town. He leaves a wife and two year old daughter. During his residence in Leon, Mr. Webb made many friends, and his untimely death is deeply deplored by the entire community.
