Obituary

A very sad accident occurred at the home of Mr. Wash Harris, Valley township, this county, Saturday forenoon. His son Warren was plowing corn in the field, Groves, a younger brother, carried out to him a drink, Warren stepped around in front of the wheel, and behind the oldest horse on the farm, to adjust the plow. While in this act the horse kicked him in the abdomen with both hind feet. In much pain, by Grover’s assistance, he managed to get on the plow and ride to the house. Dr. Blasdel of Haven, was called and did all the could be done, but Warren passed away, Sunday evening. Warren Cephas Harris was born in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, July 13, 1880 and departed this life, June 28, 1903, aged 22 years, 11 months and 15 days. He leaves a father, three brothers, two sisters, and a very large circle of friends, to mourn. He was converted to Christ a little more than three years ago, in a revival meeting in the Pleasant Grove United Bretren Church, united with that church and lived a devoted Christian life. On the 16th of last March, his mother was laid to rest and now his remains rest by her side. In the absence of his Pastor, Rev. E. A. Powell, the writer conducted the funeral service. Brief services were held at the house. At the Church a vast concourse of loving neighbors and admiring friends paid their last tribute of respect. The funeral address was based on three subjects and text as follows: First – “A manly young man,” Daniel 1:21; Second – Christ’s love for a good young man” Mark 11:21; Third – “The death of God’s saints is precious in his sight,” Psalm 116:15. Rev. Charles Priddle assisted in the service. The remains were entered in the Burrton cemetery.
