"Death of an Estimable Lady.
The Frankfort Yeoman [newspaper] of yesterday thus referes to the death of one of the oldest and most highly esteemed residents of that city:
It is with deep regret that we announce the death of Mrs. Eliza S. Harlan [nee Elizabeth Shannon Davenport], widow of the late Hon. James Harlan, after a lingering illness. Mrs. Harlan, though not a native of this county, has long been identified with this community enjoing the friendship and affection of a wide circle of friends and relatives. Coming first to Frankfort in 1840, when her distinguished husband was called to the capital as Secretary of State to Governor Leicher, she lived in our midst continuously, until she had become one of our oldest and most esteemed citizens. Gifted with character, her demise will be regretted, and her memory revered by all who have enjoyed the privilege of her acquaintance."
