- Tom H. Harrod, venerable Winfield and Cowley Co. pioneer died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. J. Ernest Morris, at 5:30 Sunday morning. His death was attributed to pneumonia and diabetes. Had Mr. Harrod lived until February 6 he would've celebrated his eightieth birthday. Thomas H. Harrod was born Feb 6, 1858 at Kokomo, Indiana. In 1868, Mr. Harrod migrated to Kansas with his family and settled on a farm near Tisdale. Shortly before his death, he and his wife had been living on the same farm. He came into Winfield about two weeks ago when suffering with a severe cold which later led to the fatal attack of pneumonia.
For ten years after arriving in Kansas in 1878, Mr. Harrod continued living on the farm and then moved to Winfield. Mr. Harrod's first venture outside of farming was as undersheriff of Cowley Co., which office he filled for six years. Early in the nineties Mr. Harrod began his work in real estate around Winfield. About 1888, Mr. Harrod and the late J.W. Hanlen entered into a real estate; that partnership continued for some 30 years, being dissolved at the time Mr. Hanlen retired. The offices were located in the First National Bank building, in three rooms on the first floor of the building. The firm was considered one of the most prosperous and one of the most dependable businesses of the community in the early twentieth century. After the retirement of Mr. Hanlen his shares were sold and since Sept 1, 1926-when Earl Hartley bought part interest in the firm- the old Harrod-Hanlen has been known as the Harrod-Hartley Investment Company. Mr. Harrod was a member of the Winfield County Commission at the time the electric light plant was purchased.
In his business activities, Mr. Harrod has witnessed the growth of Winfield from a small village. As a boy of ten he made trips into town on rare occasions, but often enough to watch the city grow. When a young man he moved into the town and was closer to its developments. His activities in the real estate sales of the community kept him in close contact with the city's life. His political interests-as county undersheriff and city commisioner-added even more to his interests in the city's welfare. The Harrod family life, too, was one closely connected with the city. On Feb 19, 1885, T. Harrod was married to Fannie E. Mabee, who survives. To this union two children were born, Nina (Harrod) Morris, of this city and Le Roy of Los Angeles. In Winfield the Harrod family home was at 1202 Millington, the present home of the daughter and her family. The daughter has two children- Ernestine and James-who are the only grand children of Mr. Harrod. This family is prominent in musical circles of the city. Mrs. Morris and her daughter appear frequently on programs and Mrs. Morris is one of the local piano and vocal instructors. Funeral services for Mr. Harrod will be held Tuesday afternoon at 3:00 in the First Presbyterian Church. Burial will be in Union Cemetery. Mrs W. H. Hudson, sister of Mr. Harrod, who resides in Los Angeles, will arrive in Winfield Tuesday to be here for the services. His son arrived here about a week ago and with the daughter and wife was at the bedside of his father when death occurred.
