"FUNERAL OF MISS HARRIS
The funeral services of Miss Louise Harris, the popular Spokane girl who lost her life on the ill fated Clallam, accrued at the All Saints' cathedral at 2:30 p.m. today. Long before the hour set for the services the cathedral was crowded. The altar was a mass of flowers and the floral offerings are said to be the most numerous and beautiful ever seen at such a service in the city.
At 2:45 the pallbearers, Ellis G. Soule, Dr. H. B. Luhn, Will Davidson, Harry Saint, H. B. Ferris and E. H. Hughes, carried the casket up the aisle. They were followed by the relatives and close friends of Mr. and Mrs. Harris. The choir, consisting of Miss Laura Mueller, Mrs. A. A. Kraft, Charles F. Orr and William Hall, sang in low tones. Dean Perine read the service and Rev. J. D. P. Lloyd of Seattle officiated at the service."

"A Brave Girl
Miss Harris Tried to Comfort Women Before the Catastrophe.
When the body of Miss Harris was recovered the lips cut as though the teeth had been pressed through in the grim struggle to retain her hold of the boat in which she was found, but according to survivors, it seems that the brave girl was hurt while running about the steamer trying to comfort the women and children. She ran into some obstruction and cut her mouth. Blood was flowing from the wound when she boarded the lifeboat, and Captain Lawrence took his handkerchief and wiped the blood away. Her father, W.J. Harris, of Spokane, arrived here Monday by the steamer 'Rosalie' and left last night for home with the girl's body. Her mother awaits their coming at Seattle. Miss Harris was a prominent figure of Spokane society. She was a beautiful girl, only 21 years old, tall, with a handsome figure, brown hair and blue eyes.
Mr. Harris was told by survivors of the 'Clallam' crew that Miss Harris was one of the most courageous persons on board the wrecked vessel. She was much noticed because of her striking appearance, and the seamen remember her calm self-possession. When she entered the lifeboat with other women, who were moaning with fear, she sought to nerve them with brave words, telling them they would surely reach the shore in safety.
Miss Harris was an athletic girl and was a fine horsewomen. Her physical training and strength showed in the death grip with which she clung to the lifeboat when nearly all its other occupants were washed overboard by the beating seas."
