| Description |
Grave of Harry James Westerman at Green Lawn Cemetery in Columbus, Ohio, in the United States. Westerman (1876-1945) was born in Parkersburg, West Virginia. He was raised in Columbus and attended the Columbus Art School for four years. He joined the staff of the Ohio State Journal newspaper in 1897. At the time, no technology existed to print photographs in newspapers, so staff artists quickly sketched out portraits, crime scenes, and other images of events as fast as they could. After four years, he became the paper's primary political cartoonist. He soon rose to prominence and was considered the state's best political cartoonist alongside J.H. Donohey (The Plain Dealer), W.L. Evans (Cleveland Leader), and E.A. Bushnell (Cincinnati Post). During his lifetimes, Westerman published two books, A Book of Cartoons and The Young Lady Across the Way. He illustrated at least four books by other authors, did work during World War I drawing savings stamps for the federal government, and in 1933 was added to the roll of honor sponsored by the School of Journalism at Ohio State University. Westerman was ill from 1933 to 1935, and many of his cartoons were ghost-written. He retired in 1935. Westerman died on June 27, 1945, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, after suffering a heart attack on a Pennsylvania Railroad express train. |
