CHARLES HARRIS DIES AFTER A LINGERING ILLNESS

On Tuesday afternoon Charles Harris died in an Omaha hospital, where he had been
for treatments to build up his system to a point where an operation could be
performed for stomach trouble. His remains were brought to Hamburg Wednesday
noon and taken to the home of his sister, Mrs. John Alberson.

Funeral services were conducted from the Alberson home this afternoon, A.A.
Walburn delivering the sermon. The Odd Fellow order had charge at the grave.
Interment was made in the Hamburg Cemetery by the side of his wife who died a
few days over a month ago.

Charles Harris was born in Henry County, Illinois, January 9, 1861 and died
March 16, 1920, aged 59 years, 2 months and 7 days. At the age of ten years he
accompanied his parents to Hamburg, and has lived here most of the time since.
He was married in 1883 to Miss Mattie Reeder, and to them were born five
children, one dying in infancy. Those remaining are: Theodore Harris and Mrs.
Arthur Smith of Fort Collins, Colorado; Mrs. Glen McNall of Langdon, and Myron
of Hamburg. He also leaves an aged father, five brothers and five sisters. They
are Grant of Clarinda; John of Pawnee City; M.H., Ace, and Clarence of Hamburg;
Mrs. Anna Franklin of Baker, California; Mrs. H.E. McKown of Norfolk, Nebraska;
Mrs. John Alberson, Mrs. Frank McBride, and Mrs. Gus Wagner of Hamburg.

Mr. Harris was a member of the I.O.O.F. and K. of P. lodges and the Christian
Church. Mr. Harris was for many years identified with the business life of the
city and was a trusted employee wherever placed, and worked always for the best
interests of the institution he was connected with. He was an honored citizen, a
dutiful husband and a kind and affectionate father, and his traits of
neighborliness endeared him to all.
