Death of Elliott Harris

Prominent Macon Man Dies From Fractured Skull

Macon, Ga., Sept. 1 – S. Elliott Harris died at 5 o’clock this morning from 
injuries sustained in a fall at his hotel in Ashville last week.  He dropped 
backwards from a verandah railing and his skull was fractured.  After being 
taken home he was yesterday carried to the day hospital where an operation was 
performed in the hope of relieving the injured man’s brain.  Instead, he grew 
rapidly worse and death followed early this morning.

He was a traveling salesman with the S.R. Jacques & Tinsley Co.  He was a 
brother of Howell C. Harris and Charles Harris, and had many friends in the 
community.  He was 38 years of age, and resided on Arlington place.  
Arrangements for the funeral have been made for tomorrow afternoon at St. 
Paul’s church.  Rev. J.M. Northup will conduct the service.  The remains will 
be interred in Riverside cemetery.

The death of Mr. Harris caused a great deal of sorrow in Talbotton where he had 
many friends.  He has been coming to Talbotton every week for about seventeen 
years and knew nearly every man, woman and child in the town.  He was a man of 
fine character and numbered his friends by the hundred.
