It is named for the Harris family, who have the only two monuments that remain to mark the cemetery. A few stones and depression are evidence of other graves, and it is said to be quite a large cemetery with as many as 250 people buried there. This cemetery is also called Boase after an early settler in the area, and also Betheney after the name of a small Baptist Church that was nearby, but long since removed. A residence lies about 75 feet from the two monuments.
