ALBANY — Harris Salter, 70, a retired City of Albany meter reader, responded to 
the Master's summons for eternal rest on May 6, 2006. 

The service will be at 3 p.m. Wednesday, with burial next to his parents at Oak 
Grove Cemetery in Americus, GA. Family will receive friends at the service. 
Harris was born in 1935 in Americus, son of the late Arthur Bennett Harris 
Salter of Sumter County and Janie Lee (Kent) Salter of Valdosta, and attended 
Americus Sumter High School.

In 1953, he enlisted in the United States Navy and served three years as a 
welder in the Seabees and was discharged overseas in Lyautey, Morocco. He began 
his career with the City of Albany in 1965 and retired in 1988. He devoted his 
retirement to his church, Albany Baptist, which he played an active role, 
graduating in 2001 with a Doctorate in Theology.

To cherish his loving memory are his devoted brother, Herschel Davenport of 
Albany; his four children, Rose Marie Key of Tallahassee, FL; son, William 
Arthur Salter of Tampa, FL, Betty Jean Dawson of Tampa and Elaine Ruby Hicks of 
Tallahassee, FL; and nine grandchildren, Alicia Terrell of Boca Raton, FL, Kyle
