Jackson Argus
Harris, Zelma H.
Mr. Zelma H. Harris, who lost his life in the wreck last Saturday night was the 
son of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Harris of this city.  The sad going away of this 
loving dutiful son and brother is a blow so sudden and severe that their grief 
is almost unbearable.  The sympathy of our entire city  goes out to them in this 
sore bereavement.
Zelma Harris was loved wherever he was known.  His big heart and generous nature 
made him a favorite with his associates.  In the home he was thoughtful, 
considerate and affectionate, and to the loving father, mother and sister the 
loss is irreparable.
There are troubles so deep that only the Holy Spirit can comfort those who are 
bowed beneath them.  The sympathy of friends is sweet, but the Comforter has 
reserved this nearness to troubled hearts for Himself.  This is, indeed, a dark 
our, no ray of light is seen the stricken ones.  God took this precious soul, we 
know not why, but we know he is the in the hands of Infinite Love, Indefinite 
Wisdom, Infinite Power and Infinite Mercy.
The body was brought to Jackson Wednesday, and te funeral services were 
conducted from the Baptist church, Thursday morning, at 11 o’clock, Rev. R. B. O 
England officiating.
Many comforting and appropriate lessons were read from the Word.  The text was 
from Romans viii, 8: All thing work together for good to them that love God.  
The sweet thought brought out of this comforting passage was that God was able 
and does bring great and rich blessings out of these deep and sore trials.  He 
uses both the sunshine and clouds for our spiritual good.  When we look on the 
troubles that are seen, we often lose sight of the great blessings that are 
unseen.  After the singing of the beautiful song, Asleep in Jesus, the casket, 
with its floral tribute from loving friends was carried to the cemetery, where 
the exercises were concluded and the remains were laid away beneath the sod  to 
await the Resurrection.
The pall-bearers were Ernest Combs, John Ham, Asa Buttrill, C. C. Smith, Claude 
Bryan, Ernest Hanes.
…………………………………………………………………………………………
The Argus extends its tenderest, heartfelt sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Harris 
in the untimely death of their son Zelma.  A noble, upright, bright , popular 
young man is gone, and a happy home is robbed of a son who was units pride and 
its joy, and our hearts are bowed in deepest grief.  Surely, He who doeth all 
things well, will temper the winds to the shorn lamb, and shed rays of sunshine 
upon their sorely stricken hearts.  Human sympathy is unavailing and while the 
Argus joins the entire community in shedding tears upon his bier, it can only 
point those so grievously bereaved to the Great a Comforter.  May eternal peach 
and happiness be his blest reward in the faraway home of the souls.
Jackson Argus – Week of January 10, 1902
