DEATH OF MRS. SAMPSON W. HARRIS

From the West Point Press

The first intimation of the death of this lady was the reception of a 
telegram by Mayor Lanier on Tuesday morning, requesting him to have the 
grave made ready for the remains. They arrived on the train at half past 
four p.m. and were met by sorrowing, sympathizing friends of the family and 
borne to the Chattahoochee hotel. Thence they were taken to Pine Grove 
Cemetery on Wednesday and interred by the side of her father, the late Henry 
Todd. Col. S.W. Harris and Dr. J.S. Todd and wife accompanied the remains 
from Carrollton.

Mrs. Harris was the idol of devoted parents in her girlhood, and grew up one 
of the most beautiful and accomplished young ladies in our fair Southland. 
She was well known in West Point in which vicinity her father lived so many 
years.

She was married to Col. Harris by Rev. R.W. Dixon on June 27, 1866 and 
resided for several years after her marriage among us. They moved to 
Carrollton after the railroad reached that town. She leaves six children, 
the youngest of whom is an infant, only four months old, to mourn the loss 
of a fond mother. May God temper the winds to these shorn lambs. Mrs. Harris 
was a sister of Dr. J.S. Todd of Atlanta and a cousin of Mr. William Todd of 
Chambers county. Her death was caused by sporadic cholera and she was sick 
only thirty-six hours.
