 Jess. Jour.  April 8, 1904

 William P. Harris who died very suddenly at his home near Ambrose, Sunday
 afternoon, was one of Jessamine's oldest and most honored citizens.  He
was
 born near Glass' Mill, in Jessamine County, September 21, 1821, and had he
 lived until next September would have been 83 years old.  Four children
 survive him, W.D.,  H.G., Miss Maggie J. and Mrs. John Brumfield, all of
 this county.  One brother survives the deceased, Henry Harris, who is
 located in Pettus County, MO.  Mr. Harris had been complaining for over a
 year and while he had been going about, was very feeble.  Sunday morning
he
 was found near the house in an unconscious condition, where he had gone a
 short time before dying in the afternoon.  As a citizen, husband, father
and
 neighbor,  Mr. Harris met all the requirements, and the community in which
 he lived, will greatly miss him.  The funeral services were conducted
Monday
 afternoon at 1 o'clock from the late residence by Rev. T. R. Stratton, of
 the Methodist Church, of which denomination the deceased had long been a
 faithful member.  A large concourse of friends followed the remains to his
 last resting place in the old family burying grounds.
