Obituary

Last Sunday morning this community was saddened on learning of the sudden death of 
Mrs. Mary A. Harris, of Houghton, widow of the late William Harris, a former 
prominent merchant of this town. The deceased had been unwell for some time past, 
and had spent last winter with her daughter, Mrs. W.J. Ryan, at Denver, Col., for 
her health, returning to Houghton in the spring, since which time her health has 
gradually failed. Mrs. Harris was born in England, December 8, 1828, and was 
married to the late William Harris, July 4, 1850. Coming to this country and 
settling in Houghton in 1854, she has resided here since that time. Mrs. Harris 
has been a widow since May 31, 1885. She leaves eight children - four sons and 
four daughters - Mrs. J.B. Smith and Mrs. J.G. Turner, of L'Anse, Mrs. W.J. Ryan 
of Denver, Col., and Miss Fannie Harris, W.H. Harris, J.C. Harris, S.T. Harris, 
and W.R. Harris, all from Houghton. Mrs. Harris was a warm-hearted, hospitable 
English lady, whom everybody liked and respected, and leaves a large number of 
friends to mourn her loss. The funeral services were held at the Methodist church, 
last Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, and the remains were interred in Forest Hill 
cemetery. - Houghton Gazette
