The body of Harry Richard Melvin, who died at the United States General Hospital No. 1, at Williamsbridge, N. Y., arrived in Oregon
City tonight. The funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon at 3:15 o'clock, with Rev. W. T. Milliken, pastor of the Baptist

Harry Melvin was born in Chehalis County, Washington, January 25, 1892, and was the son of N. T. Melvin. In 1899 he came to Oregon
City, making his home at Bolton and West Linn. He attended the Bolton and West Linn schools and later accepted a position with the H.
P. Brightbill store, of this city. In May he enlisted in company F. O. N. G. and took up his duties in the Army at Vancouver. He
later accompanied the 162d Infantry of the 41st Division from Camp Withycombe to Camp Greene, Charlotte, N. C. It was while he was
stationed there that he became ill, but was able to accompany his regiment as far as Camp Mills. He was placed in the hospital, but
his health gradually failed until his death last Tuesday.

The body was accompanied to this city by his brother, Lester, who also enlisted from this city, and who has been among the Oregon
Soldiers in a hospital in New York.

The deceased is survived by his father, N. T. Melvin, of West Linn; three brothers, N. A. Melvin, of Grays River, Wash.; O. O.
Melvin, of Alaska, and J. Lester Melvin, of the Oregon Engineer Corps.
