Obituary:
Departed this life on the 6th inst. in her 7-th yr. MRS. ANN HARRIS, consort of MR. FRANCIS E. HARRIS of Madison County, Alabama. A concurrence of felicitous circumstances by the will of the divine Providence were conferred on this excellent woman, which are rarely the lot of mortals here on earth. She lived in all comfort and harmony of conjugal bliss with a worthy, intelligent and kind husband for over a half a century. She had seen long before her death, her children settled in the world with flattering prospects, esteemed and respected. She was the center of a numerous and very respectable circle of friends, whom she loved and for whom she entertained the most cordial regard and who most sincerely revered her. She possessed the means and it was her glory, her delight to receive, to entertain and to cherish the weary, wandering Pilgrims of her much beloved Jesus; her heart was open, her hands liberal to give the deciples more than a "cup of cold water." She bestowed on them the best she had. But the last, the greatest blessing in the cup of human felicity RELIGION she prized above all the rest; she delighted more in the smiles, in the apprebation of her God than in every earthly enjoyment--her piety was rational, deep, solid, and genuine. She was an ornament to religion and to the Methodist Church for about 40 years, during which time she manifested a steadiness and constancy, which clearly declared that her religion was not of the hand but of the heart. The writer of this narrative has been acquainted with her for 34 years. He visited her in her last illness and he bears witness to her fortitude, patience, resignation and victory, the triumph of Faith, the Grace of Jesus, cheering the dying Saint. She died as she lived, a Christian. Note: She was nee MACON, dau. of HENRY & REBECCA (MAYO) MACON. ANN's husband FRANCIS EPPES HARRIS left a will in Madison Co. Ala. in 1828. FRANCIS & ANN are great-great grandparents of PAULINE JONES GANDRUD.
