        THE WAR.
        LIEUT. HARPER, I.Y., KILLED IN ACTION.
        Among the list of casualties issued by the War Office this week appeared the name of Lieut. J. F. Harper, 104th (Derbyshire) Company, Imperial Yeomanry, killed in action near Ladysmith, on the 10th inst., at dawn. The deceased officer was very well-known in Wycombe. He was born at Rochester, Kent., nearly 24 years ago, and was educated first at Woodhouse Grove School, Leeds, and afterwards at Wyckliffe College, Oxford. He came to Wycombe some six years ago with his parents, the Rev. Richard and Mrs. Mary Ann Harper, the first-named taking up the position of Superintendent of the local Wesleyan Methodist Circuit, and of minister at Wesley Chapel, Priory-road, Wycombe, being succeeded, about four years ago, by the Rev. W. Earl, who, in turn, was succeeded by the Rev. T. H. Penrith, the present minister. The son. John Fox Harper, meanwhile served as assistant in the shop of Messrs. R. D. Vernon and Co., ironmongers, etc., in Church-street, and he remained in the town after his parents left it. About three years ago he left the employ of Messrs. Vernon and Co. and joined a Mr. Donaldson in a printing and stationery business, which they carried on in the Desborough-road, and which business is now conducted' by Messrs. Moyes and Gurney. In January, 1900, when the 38th (Wycombe) Company Imperial Yeomanry was being formed, he was among the first to offer his services, and was duly enlisted, and he left with the Company for South Africa on the 10th August in the "Norman." He saw fire in no fewer than 50 engagements, and had his horse shot under him or four occasions. He was considered a very clever a capable young man, of great administrative ability, and had he been spared he would undoubtedly have proved him- self a very capable officer. He was promoted from the ranks to Lieutenant on the personal recommendation of Lord Methuen, for conspicuous service rendered in the field. It was just prior to the 38th Company returning home in June this year that the deceased was given a commission and transferred to the 56th company, from which he was afterwards transferred to the 104th. The deceased was engaged to be married to Miss Nellie Jane Goodearl, daughter of Mr. Councillor and Mrs. Henry Goodearl, of Trezelah, Priory-avenue, and much sympathy is felt with the young lady in the loss she has sustained.
