Harrison, Jennie (McCausland) Chinn
FORMER RESIDENT BURIED HERE MONDAY AFTERNOON
The remains of Mrs. Jennie McCausland Chinn Harrison of Houston, who died in that city Sunday morning, were brought here for interment in the Odd Fellows Cemetery Monday afternoon, Rev. J. E. Stack, Baptist pastor, conducting the funeral services. Mrs. Harrison was the aged mother of the late H. W. Chinn, and was one of the most lovely characters that we ever knew. Highly accomplished in music, art and book lore, it was a pleasure to be around her. Leaving here a few years ago she resided in Houston up to the time of her death. Many Weimar friends deeply regretted to learn of her demise. From the Houston correspondence of the Galveston News we glean the following particulars regarding her life:
---
Houston, Texas, Oct. 27.--Mrs. Jennie McCausland Chinn Harrison, aged 90 years, a third cousin of Sir Walter Scott and the daughter of General Robert McCausland of Louisiana, who was a commander during the revolutionary war, died about midnight last night at the home of Mrs. H. W. Chinn, 2216 Genesee street, a daughter-in-law. One son, W. S. Chinn of Abilene, seventeen grandchildren and fifteen great-grandchildren are among the survivors. Mrs. Harrison had resided in Texas forty six years, having been born and reared in Louisiana. For the past eleven years she lived in Houston, and previous to that resided at Brazoria, Belton and Weimar. The body will be sent to Weimar by the C. J. Wright Company for burial.
