Lawrence Harrington, a young man and the son of assessor Bert Harrington, shot himself at York , Nebr. , and died almost instantly according to a message received here by his father Friday morning. The remains were sent here and arrived in Tampico Monday afternoon. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 at the Baptist church. Rev. A. Matheson preached the sermon. Several appropriate selections were sung by Mesdames Minnie Love and Maude Hein accompanied by Mrs. Nora Denison. There were a number of beautiful floral tributes including pieces from the Baptist Aid-society and the Philatheas. Six young men acted as pall bearers. Interment was in the Tampico cemetery. Complete particulars of the sad affair are not known here only that the shooting followed some trouble between Lawrence and his wife. The message was the first intimation that relatives here had of any serious trouble and it came as a terrible blow to the father and mother.
