Mrs. Farrie Harris, wife of Oliver P Harris and daughter of F. J. and J. F. Potter died at her home near Tunuelton. Ind., May 2 being at time of death, aged 26 years, 10 months and 10 days. She leaves a husband, two little sons, father, mother, two sisters and two brothers together with a host of sorrowing relatives to mourn her irreplaceable loss, but we mourn not those without hope, for we feel assured that our loss is her gain, as she died in the triumphs of living faith.
She was united in marriage to O P. Harris, January 26th, 1890. Their married life being one of fullness of love and contentment. Ever ready to help each other in every way to lighten each other's burdens of life. She united with the M. E. church at Selby school house under the efforts of John M. Nash in October, 1886 being converted to God. living faithful to the end, always relying on his saving grace.
She said to her father a few hours before death relieved her of her suffering. "Oh! papa don't let my little boys be separated, if anything should happen their papa."
At 12 m. what remained to earth, was tenderly placed in the ?, and followed by a very large concourse consisting of family relatives and friends to Pinhook cemetery. There at the church had assembled a large gathering of friends and after a very touching funeral discourse by Bro. Ward touching on her devoted Christian life, the esteem that endeared her so much to her neighbors and friends. She was laid to rest, amidst sobs and tears, there to await the resurrection morn. I see this sketch must close as I could write columns describing her life and entreaties to her loved ones not to grieve after her as she was going to rest. Don't grieve for my loved ones. Dear I'm going to rest you need not fear. My stay was short you now must see. Therefore prepare to follow me.
We desire through this medium to thank our many friends for their kindness and assistance during the trying suffering, sickness and death of our mother. O. P. Harris and family.
