The Portland Observer, Tuesday, February 2, 1875


Died:  Harris—in this village, Jan. 30, at the residence of C. J. Warren, of 
typhoid pneumonia, William H. Harris, in his 57th year.

Mr. Harris was a native of New York.  He came to Portland five years ago from 
Canandaigua, thinking to make this his place of permanent residence.  He and 
his wife found the process of acclimation very long and severe, and when they 
at last came to feel somewhat acclimated and rooted, their children, the wives 
of John H. Peet and Elisha Estes, returned East and they followed them only 
about three months since.  Mr. Harris returned only three weeks ago today to 
run a turning lathe three months for C. J. Warren.  He worked only a few days, 
when he was taken down with the fatal disease.  One week ago the disease 
fastened him to his bed and he sunk rapidly until he passed away on Saturday 
evening, at ten minutes to 11 o’clock.  His wife and Mr. Peet came two hours 
before his death, but he was too far gone to recognize them.

Mr. Harris was a member of the Congregational Church at the place of his 
residence, and was a man much respected in our village, and especially so by 
those who knew him best.  During his last days he was much in prayer, and his 
death was very peaceful.

His remains were taken to Canandaigua for interment.
