William Harvey Pointer, 56 years old, of Grand Pass, passed away at the Utman Hospital in Marshall, Mo., Wednesday
of last week just eleven hours after falling on the ice in front of his home. He suffered a fracture of the skull
at the base of the brain.
Having been in ill health for several years, he could not stand on the ice. His son was backing a coal truck to
the house Tuesday when it slid in the ditch. In the excitement of the moment, Mr. Pointer started toward the truck,
slid down a bank and hit his head. He was taken immediately to the Marshall hospital.
Mr. Pointer was a son of Vinson and Elizabeth (Stewart) Pointer. He was born March 16, 1880 in Gerard, County,
Ky. At the age of 22 years he came to this state and settled near Missouri City. Later he moved near Orrick and

one son, Ray, who with the widow, Mrs. May Pointer and his mother of Orrick survive.
He was a life long member of the Christian church and was active in the work of the church until his health failed
him. His Masonic membership dates back many years and his active interest in the lodge work stopped only because
of ill health.
After his marriage and a period of several years as a farmer near Orrick, he moved to Henrietta for two years,
and in March 1936, moved with his family to their present home.
Other relatives who survive are: two sisters, Mrs. Frank Potts and Mrs. Anna Fields of Kansas City: a brother,
