From Carroll County Times, December 5, 1879:
Harris A. Ashmore departed this life November 28th, 1879, aged 19 years, 10 months and 1 day. The funeral and burial was largely attended. The funeral was preached by Rev. R.P. Lumsden. He was loved by all who knew him. His life was an example of piety. He bore his afflictions patiently and died in his right mind. I sat by his bed side when the last fleeting breath took its flight. Death seemed to be no terror. "Oh death, where is thy sting? O Grave, where is thy victory?" A noble young man has passed away in the spring of life. We tender our sympathies to the bereaved parents. It is hard to give up your child, but your loss is his eternal gain. No more toils, no more conflicts to encounter. He has gone to the better land, where rest is found. Mourn no more, your boy is no doubt a bright shining angel around the throne of God in Heaven. S.M. Garrett.
Died from typhoid fever; never married.
