In his will, he left her his home , furnishings and monies ,but he also left lands and other things to his children from his previous marriage(John T, Zura, Henry P ,Walter S, and Robt P Eckford) and after Harriette (as executrix of will ) had stalled about certain things ,the children took her into court to get the lands and things they were entitled and to also have their father's epitaph placed on his memorial, which she was supposed to have done ( James was buried next to his first wife in Friendship Cem ,in Columbus,MS.) After selling the old homestead and etc , She packed up their belongings , along with her daughter Lily and they moved back to Salem ,Essex, Massachusetts (Sadly though ,She never did take the time or care to have of her husband's epitaph placed on his obelisk ?

Harriette went back to teaching again ,opening up a private school of her own in Salem ,
Later her daughter Lily followed in her footsteps as a teacher in Salem High School .
Harriette passed away 22 December 1913 in Salem, MA ( all that knew her spoke about her in the highest regard )
