Miss Clara Harris Dies in Raleigh, March 26, 1920

From The Franklin Times, Louisburg, N.C., Friday, March 26, 1920. The story called her a young woman and said she was 66. I wonder if the age is incorrect.

Miss Clara Harris Dead

The announcement of the death of Miss Clara Harris, which occurred in Raleigh Tuesday, was quite a shock to the many friends of the family in Franklin County. Miss Harris was 66 years of age and was one of the County’s most accomplished and beloved young women and was a favorite among a large number of friends until her health gave way several years ago. She was a member of the Louisburg Methodist church, and besides her many friends leaves four brothers, Messrs. T.J., H.H., C.C. and O.H. Harris, and one sister, Miss Alice Harris.

Her remains were brought to the old home on Tuesday evening and the funeral services were held from the home on Wednesday afternoon at 3 o’clock, conducted by her pastor, Rev. G.F. Smith. The interment was made at Oak Lawn Cemetery. A large number were gathered at both services to pay their last respect. The floral tribute was especially pretty. The pallbearers were W.H. Allen, J.H. Fuller, E.A. Kemp, J.P. Timberlake, P.B. Griffin and F.B. McKinne.
