Harry Truman (volcano victim)



         


Harry R. Truman (December 16, 1891 - May 18, 1980) came to brief fame as a well loved, if eccentric resident of Washington State who refused to leave the lodge he owned at Spirit Lake, where he lived with 16 cats, near the base of Mount St. Helens when warned that the volcano was about to erupt. He was killed in the ensuing blast, along with 56 other people. His body was never found.
