Obituary: Mrs. Sarah D. Harrison, 10 Sep 1896 - Smith County, TX Contributed by Vicki Betts 18 January 2003 Copyright.

Harrison was born in Arkansas, April 4, 1855, and died in Tyler, Texas, September 10, 1896; was the wife of F. J. Harrison and the mother of nine children, four of whom preceded her to the other world; two of the four were young men, and each lost his life suddenly and unexpectedly, one falling from a tree was killed instantly at Tyler, Texas, July 24, 1894; the other was run over by a railway train and was instantly killed in Tyler, Texas, March 8, 1896. Sister Harrison was sick only six or eight hours before death claimed her as its victim. Oh, how sad is death! but when it comes so suddenly and all in one family, how heartrending. Truly, death is no respecter of persons, time or place, but "Death hath no sorrow that heaven can not heal," and the remedy that was prepared by a Divine hand had been applied in the life of Sister Harrison, for she professed religion and joined the Methodist Church in 1871, and was a member of Cedar Street Church at the time of her death. But now we all miss her among us, but none so much as hear sorrowing and heartbroken husband and motherless children. May the grace that sustained and the love that filled the soul of the wife and mother be abundantly shed upon the husband and children, that a happy meeting may take place where there is no death. T.
