He leaves his mother, five sisters and two brothers. For the past two years his vitality was steadily decreasing, from his life of dissipation until a few months ago he entered a special hospital in Cleveland, and on his return home in August thought he was cured, but a relapse came and he returned to that city only to die. Notwithstanding his evil life, "Harry" as he was called, had many friends. He was honorable in business, generous to the poor, and himself his only enemy.

-SHOOTING AFFRAY.
A shooting affray at Roscommon, last Friday, has created quite an excitement in that sleepy town. From reports it appears that S. F. DECKER had sold a small farm to an Italian from Chicago, named MONACO, getting a ficticious value therefor, such as is being put on such lands by speculators in that county, and had taken back a mortgage for part of the purchase price. On taking possession of the property MONACO discovered that he was badly sold and there has been several "chewing matches" between the parties. They met in a saloon Friday and renewed their wordy war., during which the Italian called DECKER a liar and had his face promptly slapped for the words. After, as DECKER was leaving the saloon, MONACO drew a revolver and fired three shots, the first taking effect in the ceiling, the second hitting a bystander, Henry GOLIA, in the leg, and the third hitting DECKER in the back, under the left shoulder blade, passing around his side and lodging in front over the stomach. MONOCO went to his house and took a dose of poison, but was taken in by the deputy sheriff and a posse who had followed him, and saved by a doctor. DECKER was thought to have been dangerously wounded and the complaint was withheld to await the outcome, but he is now said to be out of danger, and that MONACO will be held for assault with intent to commit the crime of murder. (7 Feb 1907)-S. F. DECKER, who was shot by Frank MONICA two weeks ago is again able to appear on the street, thanks to his vigorous constitution and the efficent skill of the attending physician, Dr. C. C. CURNALIA. He is weak and plainly shows the effects of the ordeal thru which he has passed. MONICA may thank his lucky start that both men are practically out of danger and that he does not have to face the charge of murder. - Roscommon News. (14 Feb 1907)
