From The Weekly Clarion, Jackson, MS, June 6, 1872:
OBITUARY.
Died in this city, on the 1st of June. CLAIBORNE HARRIS, after an illness of six weeks. He was born in North Carolina on the 16th of March, 1798; and consequently lived seventy-four years, two months and seventeen days. He emigrated to Tennessee at an early age; removed to Mississippi in 1836. and has resided in the State ever since, discharging the duties of a peaceable and good citizen. In all the relations of life, he acquitted himself well. He was respected by the community - cherished by his friends - beloved and honored by his family. His regular habits and sobriety in all things, had so protected his constitution and preserved his strength of body and vigor of mind, against the ravages which attend advancing years, that although he had passed beyond the period of life allotted by the Psalmist, there were of hope that many days would yet have been spared to him on earth. For a long period he had been a member of the Methodist Church; and in his latest years he had devoted himself with great earnestness to his religious duties and in preparing for the future life, so that when summoned to enter upon Eternity, death had no terrors for him. He had made his calling and election sure. He had fought the good fight. He had finished his course, he had kept the faith.
