Jackson Argus - Wk of June 9, 1899
At the home of his father in McDonough last Friday afternoon, Raleigh L. 
Harper died after an illness of more than twelve months.  He had just attained 
his majority and was entering upon his young manhood when the summons came to 
go hence.  He had lived in Jackson and worked in the office of The Argus for a 
year or more.   He was one of the most rapid typos we have ever known, one of 
the most accurate and tasteful.   He had ability of a high order that would 
have won him a front place had he lived to exercise it.

From close association with him we may truly say that he was a tender, warm 
hearted boy.   While here he was a fine specimen of health, full of youthful 
vitality, generous and open in all things.   During the last year of his life, 
while full of innocent mirth almost to the last, his conduct was markedly 
moral and upright.

The burial occurred on Saturday, the funeral being preached by Rev. F. S. 
Hudson.
