Harry E. Medbourn  

We have with us today a life-long resident of Culver - Harry E. Medbourn. He attended grade and high school here taking an active part in atheltice during that perios. Later he studied at Wabash College and South Bend Business College.

Mr. Medborn then returned to Culver and became associated with his father in the Medbourn Ice Company, though during his 30 years in business here he has had varying interests - an automobile agency for six years, real estate, feeds, seed, and coal, farming, and the feeding of live stock.

Harry admits that the last named is his main interest right now as he is trying out various feeding methods before suggesting them to the farmers in connection with the Culver City Grain & Cosl Co.

He is president of the Masonic trustees, who are doing a great job with the cemetery, trustee of the Methodist church, and director of the State Exchange Bank.

All who know Harry don't have to be told that his principal hobbies are fishing and hunting. - Culver Citizen Profile.
