Funeral of J.T. Harris
Was for Past Twelve years in Newspaper Work in Washington
Friends of the late Mr. J.T. Harris, for many years well-known as a local newspaper man, gathered in the chapel of Lee's undertaking establishment yesterday afternoon and took silent part in the funeral services over his body. The service was conducted by Rev. A. Norman Ward, pastor of the North Carolina Avenue Methodist Protestant Church, and was simple and impressive. At its close a small party accompanied the remains to the Congressional cemetery.
Those who served as pallbearers were Messrs. Edward E. Coyle, W.A. Clements, Herbert T. Martyn, George E. Davis, Raymond Martyn and Charles Counselman.
Mr. Harris died Monday morning. He had been ill for several weeks, and had not been entirely well since the death of his wife, which occurred about three years ago. For about twelve years he had been one of the most active workers in the local newspaper field and was particularly successful in tasks which required unlimited energy and a sacrifice of personal comfort. Both he and his wife were Baltimoreans, and Mr. Harris obtained his newspaper training on Baltimore papers.
