Arlington Times, June 22, 1917
Arlington Times,  1917 obituary for W. H. Harris reads as follows:

	"W. H. Harris, an aged and respected citizen of this community passed 
away after a long illness at the home of his daughter, Mrs. W. A. Handley, at 1 
a.m. Saturday, June 17.  Funeral services were held from the Congregational 
Church at 2:00 p.m. Sunday, the sermon being given by Rev. C. J. Swain and 
appropriate music being rendered by a quartet composed of Mrs. Riley, Miss 
Wilson, Mr. Ames and Ray Swain with Mrs. Palmer as accompanist.  The casket was 
buried in floral offerings as the remains were removed to Harwood Cemetery, 
(Arlington Municipal Cemetery) their last resting place.
	William Henry Harris was born August 23, 1834 in New York state, near 
the Hudson river.  He went from there to Branch County, Mich., and 31 years ago 
came to South Park, Seattle, where he resided until recently.  Two years ago he 
fell from a load of wood and broke his leg, since when he has resided here with 
his daughter, Mrs. Handley, recovering sufficiently to be about but never 
entirely recovering from the shock.  His last days were spent most of the time 
in sleep-until he slept to wake no more in this life.
	Mr. Harris was an upright and industrious man, esteemed by all who knew 
him.  He was a member of the United Brethren church.  His wife died twenty 
years ago, but he is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Ida Handley, one 
granddaughter and four great-grandchildren.
	Friends from Seattle present at the funeral were:  Albert Paul, Mrs. 
George Gardner, Mr. and Mrs. David Paul, Mrs. McKinley, Mrs. Anna Clark and Mr. 
and Mrs. Elzie."
