Harriet died 7 July 1835 at Walnut Hills, Cincinnati. Her remains were laid to rest in the Old Walnut Hills Cemetery. (See note below: Her remains were moved in 1878.)
"At Walnut Hills, Cincinnati, on Monday evening, the 6th inst., after a protracted illness, Mrs. Harriet Beecher, wife of the Rev. Dr. Beecher. To those acquainted with this lady, it is hardly necessary to say, that she met death with a calm and dignified composure. The religion which she had inculcated by the persuasive influence of her precept and example, she found fully adequate to sustain her spirit in the dark valley. On Wednesday her body was consigned to the grave, and the presence of a large assembly bore testimony to the affection which the deceased had secured during her short residence at the west."
