To all the family. Please know that even though this thought is rather late, it us no less sincere. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Seems strange to think the farm on the corner is not longer "Atch's place". He has a bigger spread now and that thought is comforting.

Dear Atchison Family, Harold was the example to be followed.A very honorable man. Many could take lessons from his character.His expert cattle feeding ability will be with many many of us as we feasted upon a beef that "Atch" fed out. We will miss him

Marcia and Leonard, we were sorry to learn of Harold's death. Know I hadn't seen either Dixie or Harold for some time so do hope it had not been a long illness. Be thankful for the good years. We wish to express our sympathy to all of you.
