Information: Funeral services for Jasper G. Harpold  were conducted Sunday at Otterbein cemetery near Evans, W. Va. by Rev. C. W. Simpson of New Haven assisted by Rev. Exline of Cottageville.  The burial was by the Masonic Lodge to which he belonged and was very touching and impressive, showing a deep undercurrent of feeling as so many of the members were boyhood friends of the deceased.  The floral offerings were many and beautiful, mute testimony of the high esteem in which he was held. A very large crowd at the service made an eloquent testimony to the esteem in which he was held in his own and surrounding communities.  The church being crowded to capacity.      He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Harpold of Cottageville, was born at Angerona and lived most of his thirty one years in that vicinity.  He married Miss Letha Laughlin of Cincinnati, O., who survives him, also a son, four months old, Clifford Gerald.  Harry Harpold of  Betts W. Va. is his only living brother.  Mr. Harpold has been in the undertaking business at Cottageville for about eight years and his pleasing and sympathetic personality won for him hundreds of friends.  He will most certainly be missed, not only in his own locality but for a large radius in each direction.      Besides his many friends and neighbors, quite a number were present from Cincinnati, Akron and Parkersburg, among whom were Holly and Roy Harpold of Akron and Mrs. Vera Hamilton of Akron, Mr. and Mrs. F. H. Fleming, Parkersburg, Mrs. Martha Sayre, Parkersburg, Mr. and Mrs. Laughlin, father and mother of the widow, two brothers and two sisters of Cincinnati.  Those from Ravenswood who attended the service were W.
