Headline:  Katherine Harris is Called by Death at Crossett Saturday

A veil of sorrow was cast over this entire section and especially among her 
class mates at the Trout-Good Pine high School when it became known on Sunday 
afternoon that Miss Katherine Harris, 13 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. 
G. Harris, of Trout, had passed away in Crossett, Arkansas, where she had 
been taken for an operation for appendicitis.

Both Miss Harris' maternal and paternal grandparents reside in Crossett and 
the decision to take her there for the operation was occasioned by this fact. 
 She first became ill on Friday night and was rushed to the sanitarium at 
that place, the operation being performed shortly after her arrival there.  
All that loving care and medical skill could accomplish was done, but she 
passed away quietly surrounded by members of her immediate family.

Funeral services were held at Crossett, interment following in the Crossett 
Cemetery.  Rev Hooter, Methodist Episcopal pastor, of El Dorado, officiated.  
It was he who performed the wedding ceremony for Mr. and Mrs. Harris and who 
christened Katherine.

Many people from Trout and Good Pine attended the funeral, which was said to 
have been one of the largest in the history of that city.  Representatives 
from her school were also present and the floral offerings testified to the 
esteem in which the young lady was held by her class mates and associates
