Long Day Ends with Rites for Dr. Harriman at College
Observances for Dr. W. E. Harriman were held in the college chapel after a postponed March 21 service. Family and townsfolk paid tribute with floral tributes, music, scripture, and a main address by President A. B. Storms. Harriman, 37, native of Cherokee Iowa, practiced in Ames since 1895 and served as college physician for twelve years during which he aided students during the 1900 typhoid epidemic. He is survived by wife Mary Wormley and children Loretta Walter and Dorothy, with a brother Dr. John Harriman and parents mourners.
