Mr. Nim Harris, a native of Harrodsburg, died Thursday night in Louisville at the home of his sister, Mrs. W. E. Keller. He was 61 years of age and the son of the late Nimrod Harris who was at one time sheriff of Mercer county and was also city tax collector. His son assisted him in these duties and was well known here until he went to Patterson, N. J., to live with his sister, Mrs. Mary E. Garnett, where he remained for about ten years before coming to Louisville. Mr. Harris had not been in good health for some time, but seemed no worse when he retired Thursday night. But a stroke of apoplexy about midnight rendered him unconscious and he lived but a short time after the family were attracted to his room by his groans. The remains were brought to Harrodsburg Friday night and placed at the Spilman & Chandler Undertaking establishment and Saturday morning brief funeral services were conducted by Rev. M. S. Clark, of the Methodist church, and the interment was in the family lot at Spring Hill cemetery. The remains were accompanied to this place by Mrs. W. E. Keller and Mr. Garnett Keller and his niece, Mrs. Hullings Henry, of Louisville. Three sisters, Mrs. Garnett, Mrs. Keller and Miss Bettie Harris, survive him.
