Missing Harry Potter May Be From Michigan

Illinois, 1918

H. L. Oldham Wires Red Cross

Harry L. Oldham, formerly of Decatur but now of Charlevoix, Mich., has wired the Red Cross at Decatur that it is possible the Harry Potter reported as missing by the war department and as from Illinois may be the Harry Potter of that county in Michigan, who was reported killed and whose death has since been confirmed.

Mr. Oldham sent the message because he saw the notice in the Review of the report of the missing of Harry Potter of this state and thought possibly it might have been the one from that district and as he had confirmed the report regarding the Michigan Harry Potter he felt that possibly this would relieve the anxiety of the Decatur relatives of the Illinois Potter.

Mr. Oldham has taken a very active part in the Red Cross activities at Charlevoix.
