The funeral for James Harris was held Saturday afternoon at 2:30 at the 
Bradley mortuary, Rev. C.C. Buckner having charge of the service.  Mrs. 
Buckner and Mrs. Fox furnished the music, and the pall bearers were F. A. 
Bunnell, John Haberstumpf, Robert Baerd, Daniel Campau, Lawrence Hale and A.H. 
Tuttle.  The interment was in Highland Park.  The flowers were profuse and 
very beautiful.

James Harris, aged 63 years and 7 months died at his residence on April 23rd, 
was born in the Parish of Campbell, Middlesex, County, England, Oct. 13, 
1857.  Arriving in this country, he started work on one of the railroads and 
for the last 24 years he has been a faithful employee of the Grand Trunk R.R. 
in this city, having filled several positions satisfactorily.  Some 17 years 
ago while working as a yardman, he met with an accident from which he lost his 
left hand and received internal injuries, and he has never known what a day of 
good health was since.  On Oct. 13, 1881 he was married to Miss Sophia V. 
Smith of Ionia.  To them two children were born, Ralph and Cressie, who has 
passed away, and now his patient wife mourns the last of her dear husband.
