I have acquired an obituary on J. Q. Ward that was within one of my family lines of the Harmon/Harmans. I looked around for a family tree to give this to but it seems no one is out there doing this family. To not lose information; I will place it here in hopes to help future family researchers of this family.
No name of newspaper was written; date Thursday Aug 30 1956:
