Mrs. Elizabeth Harris, 95, (photo) Two Rivers' oldest resident who came there
as a year-old child, died at 7:15 a.m. today at the home of her daughter, Mrs.

Mrs. Harris, nee Elizabeth Martin, was born at Bay de Nocque, Michigan on
Feb. 1?, 1849. The family came to Two Rivers the following year in a small,
open mackinac sailboat. As a girl she often cared for the late U.S. Sentor
Thomas J. Walsh when he was an infant and their families ???? resided on the
"Frenchside."
In 1868 she was married to Joseph Harris, pioneer Two Rivers painter who died
31 years ago. After their marriage the couple resided in various places in the
state because of the painting contracting business of the husband.
The family was in Peshtigo at the time of the fire in 1871 which destroyed the
entire village. After the conflagration the family returned to Two Rivers and
a year later went to Chicago, returning again in three years. After another year
they left again for points in northern Wisconsin. Since the death of the husband

been making her home, two son, Martin of Boulder Junction and Samuel of Mattoon,
