Harry Z. Mayne, of Edgemont Road, died at about midnight on Monday at a hospital in St. Petersburg, Fla., according to news which reached this village early the next morning. Death was due to a heart attack on Friday of last week.

The funeral service will be held at Mr. Mayne's late residence on Edgemont Road on Saturday afternoon at two o'clock, the Rev. M. Douglas Blair, pastor of the Katonah Methodist Church officiating, assisted by the Rev. D. George Davies, former pastor. Interment will be in Kensico Cemetery.

Mr. and Mrs. Mayne, following a custom of many years standing, had gone to the Florida winter resort about seven weeks ago, making the trip by automobile. Last week they were joined by Miss Marion Devoe, a relative of Mrs. Mayne, who has made her home with them for a number of years. It is stated that, up to the time of his sudden seizure on Friday, Mr. Mayne had been in apparent good health, and the news of his illness and subsequent death came as a shock to his neighbors here.

Mr. Mayne, who was 73 years of age, was born in Mount Kisco, the only son of the late Mr. and Mrs. James C. Mayne. He came to Katonah with his parents about 1890 when his father, a plumber by trade, entered the employment of the late Henry W. Kellogg. He graduated from the Katonah Public School in 1892, and entered the Potsdam State Teachers College, from which he was graduated at the completion of his course. For several years he taught school in Chappaqua.

In 1898, Mr. Mayne was employed in the lumber and coal business of the late Louis W. Elliott, as a salesman and bookkeeper. In 1906 the business became a partnership, under the firm name of Elliott and Mayne. Four years later it was incorporated as the Katonah Lumber, Coal and Feed Company, with Mr. Mayne as its treasurer and general manager. In 1922, he became president of the company. He retired from active participation in its affairs in 1929 and sold his interest in it to Frank M. Dain, Jr.

Among Mr. Mayne's other local business interests was the Northern Westchester Bank, with which he became associated at the time of its organization in 1918. He served for a time as its vice president and was for a number of years a member of its Board of Directors, serving as chairman of the board until his retirement some half a dozen years ago.

A member of the Katonah Methodist Church since 1893, Mr. Mayne was active in the affairs of the local church organizations, being at the time of his death a member of its Official Board and chairman of its Board of Trustees. For a number of years he was deeply interested in laymen's work in the church, and was until recently lay leader of the New York Conferences of the Methodist Church. Last year he represented the conferences at a national conference in Chicago.

Mr. Mayne is survived by his wife, the former Miss Mary Cargon, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. William H. Cargon, of Katonah. Had he lived, they would have celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of their marriage in May of this year.
