After many weeks of suffering Mrs. Rachel Harris passed to the Shining Shore about five o'clock on, Tuesday afternoon, May 7, 1907. The funeral was held In the Methodist church Thursday afternoon, Rev. E. G. Schutz officiating, and the services were at tended by a large number who had learned to admire the warm-hearted friend of everybody in the city. 3 Born in slavery, her age is not ex actly known, but she claimed to be about 69 years old. Her first acquaint ance with the Marengo people was at Natchez, Miss., where her efficiency and kindheartedness soon found her nursing in Uncle Sam’s hospitals. Af ter a short service of this character , she was sent North and with two daughters came to Marengo in 1863, and this place has ever since been her home. She was married to Jose phus Harris who died about 20 years ago. Like all people born and brought i ns a slave, she was uneducated but possessed that higher culture which all possess who closely emulate the char acter of Him who came into this world to set the captives free. Des pite her lowly birth she won the ad miration and esteem of all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance. For, ,many years she was a devoted fellow, »jer of the World’s Savior and a most “lfaithful attendant upon the various services of the Methodist church, to which she belonged. She was an hon ored member of the Woman's Relief Corps and the local W. C. T. U. It was her happiness to always extend a helping hand and kindly word of sym pathy to any in trouble and affliction. During the many weeks of intense suf fering she was ever resigned to the will of her Master, and carried out the Biblical injunction to “cast thy bar “dens upon the Lord.” While she had long ministered to the wants of others, so in her last sickness the people were most gener ous in trying to alleviate her burden. Her only daughter, Mrs. John R. White, has been here for some weeks and tenderly cared for her mother. In the death of Mrs. Harris, many of our people who had the pleasure nf her acquaintance, realize that they have lost a true and self-sacrificing friend, and will sincerely mourn with her only surviving daughter and rela tives —Marengo (Tr.)
