Barnesville News-Gazette  July 1921
                                 IN MEMORIAM


	While we were surrounded by all the pleasures and beauties of springtime 
and our souls were made to rejoice in the sweet music of the songs of birds and 
while everything in nature seems to fill our hearts with supreme delight, and 
before us lay life’s beauty and hope-in the midst of these conditions we were 
brought face to face with death.  On May 2, our dear, beloved sister, Susan R. 
Harris (nee Harden) peacefully as a child in sleep, departed this life at the 
age of 78 years, two months and 15 days.
	Sister Harris professed faith in Christ in her girlhood and united with 
Friendship Baptist church.
	When New Hope church was organized she came in as a charter member, and was 
since the organization of this church till death, she was a faithful, 
consistent, loyal member.
	Sister Harris was married to H.C. Harris January 3, 1867.  To this union 
seven children were born.  These seven children and husband all survive, and 
mourn the going of their mother and wife.
	The children are Dr. J.C. Harris of Colliers, Ga., T.B. Harris. Milner, R.
F.D.., Mrs. Fannie Wilson, of Barnesville R.F.D.; Mrs. Jennie Ballard of Milner 
R.F.D.; W.C. Harris of Milner R.F.D.; Mrs. Thomas Weaver of Zebulon, R.F.D.; 
Mrs. W.D. Cauthen of Milner, R.F.D., all respected citizens who rise up to call 
this sainted mother blessed and are a consolation to the bereaved husband and 
father.
	Yes, Sister Harris is greatly missed by all who knew her.
	That vacancy in the home and the church may never be filled.
	But while we fully realize all this we do not think of this mother as dead, 
but truly living in soul with disimboded spirits, awaiting the resurrection of 
body.  The time will soon come when husband and sons and daughters if prepared 
as mother was, will all reunite, nor death never come.
She is gone but not forgotten, 
	Never will her memory fade,
Sweeter thoughts will ever linger
	Around the grave where she is laid
It is sad to part with love ones,
	And so hard to see them die,
But we trust some day to meet them
In that home beyond the sky.

There the pearly gates were opened, 
	And a gentle voice said “come”
And with sad farewells unspoken
	She has safely entered home.

Oh, we loved her, yes we loved her,
	But the Saviour loved her more, 
So the Angels, sweetly called her
	To that bright and happy shore.

This memorium is written by orders in conference of New Hope Baptist Church and 
is but a slight testimony of our deep love for this good woman, and an 
expression of sympathy and love to Brother H.C. Harris and his children in the 
sorrow of the going of his life companion and mother of the children.

	A copy of this memorium is to be spread upon our minutes and record of the 
church, a copy be furnished the Barnesville News-Gazette, also a copy to members 
of the family.
	Approved in Conference, this July 2, 1921

Chas. E. Hitt, Moderator,
Mrs. Chas. E. Hitt, Committee.
W.A. Ross, Clerk of Church.
