Gettysburg compiler.: (Gettysburg, Pa.) 1866-1961: April 29, 1867
Harman Woman Drowned
We regret to learn that the wife of Mr. Joseph Harman, residing on the York
Turnpike, about seven miles from Gettysburg, drowned herself in a rain vessel, on
Monday night last. She had been for some weeks laboring under great depression of
spirits, caused, it is thought, by previous religious excitement, and her friends
were not without apprehension. During Monday night she was missed from her bed, and,
upon search being made, her body was found lying head-foremost in a rain vessel near
the house. Life was extinct.
The deceased leaves a husband and three little daughters to mourn her melancholy
end. She was a loving and dutiful wife, an affectionate mother, and a kind neighbor.
Highly respected in life, her loss is deeply deplored. Some weeks previous to death,
her mind became impaired in regard to her future state, though rational on all other
subjects.
On Wednesday the remains of the deceased were buried in New Oxford. Though she
belonged to another communion, the funeral services were performed by Rev. W. F. P.
Davis, of the German Reformed Church, yip spoke appropriately and impressively from
the text, Matt. 27: 40, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me ?" and improved
the occasion by warning his hearers against all undue excitements, whether of a
religious or any other character.
