Information: An illness of more than two years proved fatal to Harry H. Dernberger, widely known farmer of Fletcher, at his home there at noon Monday.  He had been in serious condition for several months and on Monday morning his condition was described as extremely critical and news of his death was flashed at noon.  Physicians described the cause of his illness as cancer of the bone.  Mr. Dernberger, who was 62 years of age, was one of the well-to-do farmers of the county.  He was a native of Grand district but had lived at Fletcher for the past 30 years.  Two years ago he became ill and several months ago he was forced to take to his bed and gradually became worse as time went on.  Residents of his community were grieved when they heard of his death and the feeling that he was a good man and good neighbor seemed to be general among them.  He is survived by the widow and following brothers and sisters:  George Dernberger of Wheeling, W. Va.; Everett Dernberger of Youngstown, Ohio; Pearl Dernburger of Wheeling, W. Va.; Mrs. Emma Reed of Sherman; Mrs. Ethel Tulley of near Charleston; and Mrs. Mary J. Denny of Wheeling, W. Va.; and one other sister, Sarah, also survives.  Funeral services were held at the Goshen Church near Kentuck on Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock with Rev. T. O. Powers in charge and burial was in the Garrett cemetery, nearby.  [Married Chloe Ann Kiser 27 August 1903]  [Note:  Harry and Chloe had no children]   [from the Betty Kessel McIntyre collection]
