I have the obit scanned and attached to this post. Sorry I don't know enough about the site procedures to post it as public information but if you do please feel free to do so.

Sorry for the long delay but I am never home enough in the summer to have the time to work on family history. Hope it helps. Let me know if the picture quality is ok. I can rescan it to any number of formats or make a copy and mail it to you if you prefer.

I believe that Vera McMasters was my Grandfathers Mother and that Harlow held in her arms was his oldest brother. I had quite a shock when the obit fell out of an old family bible and I saw my baby face in the picture. I am a dead ringer for Harlow at least I was at the age he was when the picture was taken. my Grand fathers name was Robert Emile McMasters and I believe he had also had a brother named Glen in addition to Harlow. As an aside Robert E McMasters married his second or third cousin Gertrude Irene Keyser daughter of Nellie Bell Powers Keyser who was Ona Lee McMasters (my mother's) Grandmother.

Hello Michael,

Would you scan this obituary in PDF & e-mail it to me?

That would be wonderful. My mother is related to the Accord family.

Is there anyway that you could transcribe the text since it looks like part of it was chopped off.
