OBITUARY: August 8, 1874 Boonville, Indiana Enquirer:
DIED - On Monday, July 27th, at Evansville, Mrs. Harriet R. Denny, aged 67 years. The deceased was one of the old citizens of Southern Indiana, and was the widow of James H. Denny, late of Warrick county, deceased. She was born in Botetrout county, Virginia, April 1, 1807. She was the mother of eleven children, five of whom survive her, viz: Thomas L. Denny, of New Harmony; Ludwell H. and Lewis S. Denny, of Boonville; Mrs. Mary E., wife of John B. Hudspeth, of Evansville, and Caleb S. Denny, Assistant Attorney General of the State, residing at Indianapolis. She leaves also a brother, Mr. Wm. J. Littrell, living near Newburg, Warrick county, and a sister whose name and residence we did not learn. The greater portion of the early life of Mrs. Denny was spent in Mercer county, Kentucky, where her husband was born and raised. For twenty-five years she has been a resident of Indiana-for a time near Bloomington, where many of her relatives live. For several years past her residence has been at Boonville, where her husband died in 1861, since which time she has resided alternately with her daughter, Mrs. J. . Hudspeth, of Evansville and with her sons in Boonville. She was one of the links that connected the present with the past; and was a most amiable and excellent lady, devoutly loved by her children and greatly esteemed by her neighbors and acquaintances, generally. She has been gathered like a shock of corn fully ripe to the garner of the blessed. "The soul too soft its ill to hear, Has left our mortal hemisphere, And sought in better world the need to blameless life by Heaven decreed."
