Obituary: "Warren Edward Harris was born at Garrison, August 15, 1891, and died in Manhattan, August 6, 1925. He resided at Garrison until young manhood. After finishing high school at Garrison he attended the Manhattan business college. For nine years he was employed by the U.P.R.R. company, at Manhattan. The past three years he had been a salesman residing at Dodge City, Kansas. He was a member of the Masonic lodge No. 222, of Dodge City. On February 4, 1915, he was united in marriage to Anna Murray of Manhattan. In January of this year he was taken sick at his home in Dodge City where he remained until June, when he came to Manhattan to the home of his parents, where he passed away. There are left to mourn his departure, his wife, his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Harris, two brothers, Myron of Garrison, and Kenneth of Manhattan, and one sister, Mrs. John Hamlet, of Onaga.
It has been said that death loves a shining mark, and it certainly seems true in this case. Warren Harris was just in the prime of his manhood, well fitted to be a good and useful citizen. Absolutely honorable in all of his dealings, kind in his disposition, and always considerate for others, he naturally made friends of all with whom he mingled. Many of the best traits attainable in human character were his. He was a good husband, and a loyal son and brother. In all of his long and severe sickness he was exceedingly hopeful and patient. Quiet and unassuming, he nevertheless developed the virtues that are eternal. Love, peace, gentleness, long-suffering, meekness and submission, were his. These are the things that Christ placed at the forefront of all endeavor.
While friends and relatives mourn Warren's untimely death, they can find comfort in this thought, -- that he made a clean record in life, and met his final summons like a man. His funeral service was held in the M.E. church at Manhattan, Saturday, August 8, 1925, and conducted by Rev. O. E. Allison. The text was Rev. 21:3-4 and Psalm 90. The music was furnished by a mixed quartet and a very beautiful solo was rendered by Miss Houston. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. He was laid to rest in Sunset cemetery."
