"The LaFayette Sun" - July 28, 1909:

Obituary.

Death, the grim monster, hovered over the home of Mr. E. Harmon and took away its guardian angel, wife and mother.

Mrs. Harmon was a daughter of W. R. Jackson, was born May 10th, 1845 and departed this life June 14th, 1909. She was married to Mr. E. Harmon Nov. 28th, 1866. To this union were born 8 children, 5 boys and 3 girls. All these with her dear companion are left to mourn her departure. She embraced a hope in Jesus in early life and united with the Christian church. Later in life she expressed a great desire to join the Primitive Baptist Church but from some cause kept neglecting it until feeble health kept her from attending any church service.

Mrs. Harmon died of cancer and was afflicted for months prior to her death, but bore her sufferings with patience and meekness, never murmuring at God's dealings with her.

We have been informed that her whole talk on her bed of affliction was of God and things above, and her only comfort in her last days was to read the Bible.

She was a good, kind wife and neighbor and an affectionate, devoted mother.

The funeral services were conducted by Elder J. T. Satterwhite the day following her death, and her body was consigned to the silent grave at Macedonia to await the resurrection. We sympathize with the bereaved ones, and truly sympathize with the children, for sad experience has taught us to know how desolate is "home without a mother." May the Lord give you the spirit of resignation and heal your broken hearts.

And when your time on earth is done,

Then may you go where she is gone,

There join with her in songs of praise

To God through everlasting days.
