Mr. James Harris Died Friday Night
Confederate Veteran And One Of the County�s Most Prominent Citizens
Taylor County lost one of it�s most highly esteemed citizens in the death of Mr.
James Harris, which occurred at his home in the northern part of the county last
Friday night, May the 9th, after an illness extending for several weeks. Mr.
Harris was seventy-seven years of age, a confederate veteran and a life long
citizen of the county, and who, during his long life of citizenship, was true to
his convictions, he was ever found upon the side of morality, truth and
sobriety, and his long life of fellowship with the Methodist church will tell
for good in the ages to come. Mr. Harris was one of the prime movers and strong
supporters in starting and maintaining the Butler Camp Ground, seven miles north
of Butler, and each and all found shelter at his tent and sustenance at his well
supplied table. None were turned away.
Mr. Harris had been twice married. By the first union one son was born, Thomas
J. Harris, who preceded his father to the grave several months ago. His second
marriage was to Miss Stella Neisler, who is left with a bleeding heart and
darkened home to survive him. He is also survived by several grandchildren, two
sisters, Mrs. Smith and Miss Anna Harris, of Gray, Ga. Also one brother whose
residence is at Gray.
The remains of Mr. Harris were interred at Gray�s cemetery last Saturday
afternoon, the funeral service was conducted by his pastor, Rev. L.A. Harrell,
assisted by Rev. M.T. Gaultney.
Children:
James Thomas 1874, Emily Joanna 1876, Joshua Green 1879, and James 1886.
