Calhoun Times, Nov. 26, 1906  (Calhoun GA)
 
IN LOVING REMEMBRANCE
 
The spirit of Mrs. Virginia Harris took its flight on
Nov. 7, to that eternal home - a house not made with
hands.

She was formerly Miss Virginia Silvey, was born Nov. 30,
1840.  She was married to Mr. T. J. Harris Feb. 29, 1859.
Unto them were born eleven children, nine of whom are
living.

Mrs. Harris had long been a consistent member of the
Methodist church, having joined Shiloh church in Floyd
county nearly forty years ago.  In 1886 she moved her
membership to Resaca, of which church she was a member
when she died.

She had been an invalid for almost five years, and the
last nine weeks of her life were spent in bed, but she
bore her sufferings with Christian fortitude.  She loved
her church and the cause of her blessed Master, of whom
she often spoke.  She was truly a model Christian.

A few days before she died she called her children and
neighbors to her bedside adn told them that all was
bright and she was going home, and that she wanted them
all to meet her in that better world.

It was hard to give her up, but it was the Lord's will,
and we are cheered by the hope of meeting her in that
bright beyond.

(Note: Virginia Silvey was the daughter of William "Joe"
Silvey and Mary E. Brown.  She was the wife of Thomas
Jefferson Harris.  She is buried without a marker at
Nance Springs Cem., Gordon Co. GA. by Netha Dunlap)
