MRS. J.P. HARRIS HAS GONE TO REST; Beloved Lady Succumbs After Long Illness 
at Her Home in Abanda.
It falls to the lot of The Leader this week to publish the sad news of the 
death of another good wife and mother, the greatest loss any home can 
sustain. Mrs. J.P. Harris died at 5:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon at her 
home in Abanda. The end was not unexpected, yet the blow, so long impending, 
fell with crushing weight upon the devoted hearts of husband, children and 
others near and dear.
Yet the consolation remains to those that they did all in human power to 
defeat the dark designs of death and to make comfortable the one whose life 
was slowly ebbing. As the shadows of the valley fell about her, the gloom 
was gilded by the light of love, that subtle electricity of the soul that 
fades not in the darkness of death, but triumphs over time and circumstance.
Having lived the life of the righteous, her "last end was like His" and her 
pathway, being that of the just was as "the shining light that shineth more 
and more into the perfect day." Not alone was the tender solicitude of loved 
ones hers, but the teachings of the Christian religion, which guided her 
life, and sustained her in death.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. V.H. Hawkins at the Methodist 
church in Abanda at 10 o'clock Saturday morning. Many evidences of friendly 
sympathy were shown the living and many tokens of respect the memory of the 
departed, who was a lady of a singularly sweet disposition. She leaves a 
husband and several children, a sister Mrs. G.C. Freeman of Roanoke, besides 
many more relatives and friends to mourn her untimely end. The interment was 
at Concord cemetery.
