San Antonio Light
October 7, 1908
Rev. Buckner Harris, prominently identified in Methodist work in Texas for many years, presiding elder for the San Antonio district, one time minister for the Travis Park Methodist church and an influential member of the west Texas conference, died at 5:30 o'clock this morning at his home, 1601 Main avenue.
Rev. Harris had been in ill health for about three months, believed to have been due to a shock resulting from a fall several months ago, by which he sustained a fracture of the arm. The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon and interment will be in the Anchor Masonic cemetery.
Rev. Harris was a native of Mississippi, having been born in Galatin, Miss., October 3, 1835, and was in his seventy-third year when he passed away. He came to Texas in his boyhood and made the Lone Star state his home continuously. He was widely known, having been connected with prominent state Methodist work practically all his life. He first moved to Texas in 1846, settling in DeWitt county. He was admitted to the ministry when but 31 years old and had been preaching continuously until old age prevented him from being actively engaged in the work.
While serving in this city by appointments for many years, his last residence in San Antonio has been for the past 15 years. He leaves surviving him three sons, James S. Harris of Kansas City, Mo.; J. C. Harris and F. C. Harris of San Antonio, and one daughter, Mrs. John M. Moore of Nashville, Tenn.
