Bronze Tablet In Memory
Os William R. Mehaffey
A bronze tablet in memory of
William R. Mehaffey, chairman
of the Harmon Field commission
from 1927 to 1937 will be placed
soon an the gate post at the en
trance of Harmon Field. The
tablet is now on display at Mjs
sildine’s show window. The tab

Harmon Field in appreciation of
Mr. Mehaffey’s interest and ser

nity. While secretary of the Tryon
Chamber of Commerce Mr. Mehaf

with the Harmon Foundation and
secured the initial donation that
made Harmon Field passible as a
community playground. With the
cooperation of Miayor E. E. Mis
sildine and former president of
Chamber of Commerce, C. J.
Lynch and other interested citizens
the present field was purchased,
improved and increased in size

credit was made available. After
several years sufficient progress
had been made to receive an ad
ditional award from the Harmon
Foundation as a prize of achieve

Mr. Mehaffey often paid money

field in condition. Some few

investment. The mortgage hold
ers demanded payment. Then it
