The Verden News
October 31, 1913



Our entire community was saddened Saturday morning, October 25th, when 
they learned that Grandpa Harris had died at the home of his daughter, 
Mrs. J. L. Daniel near Chickasha.

Mr. Harris was one of our most respected and loved men, and he had 
reached the ripe old age of 72 years.

Deceased was born in Ohio, September 5th, 1841. He was married to Miss 
Olive Smith, October 14, 1867, to which union seven children were born, 
six of whom are still living to mourn his loss; they are Mrs. J. L. 
Daniel and Mrs. E. S. Shaw of Chickasha, Oscar D. Harris and Ed Harris 
of Cement, John Harris and Charley W. Harris of Newton, Kansas.

Deceased had enjoyed the best of health until July last when complicated 
diseases set in.

Funeral services were conducted at the Baptist church in Verden by Rev. 
P. F. Harman, Monday, October 27th. The remains were laid to rest in the 
Verden cemetery beside the loving wife who was laid to rest six years 
ago. A host of sorrowing friends extend their heartfelt sympathy to the 
family in their bereavement.
