Obituary (thanks to Peggy Duey):
A short service was held over the remains of J.C. Harritt before he was taken to his old home for the funeral. His death though sudden was not unexpected. He was talking with an old friend and died without a struggle. He had been out in the yard eating cherries a few mintues before. -- Oak (From Special Correspondence)
